Iranian Sunni and Shiite clerics visit South Lebanon and Rabab Sadr (Eng Subtitles)

New documentary titled "Eyes Wide Open" covering the journey of Iranian Shiite and Sunni clerics to South Lebanon. In their journey they meet influential figures and visit various religious locations. A rare meeting between the clerics and Sheik Hassan Nasrallah will also be translated shortly. In this segment, the religious scholars visit the sister of Imam Musa al-Sadr, Rabab Sadr.

Sayyid Mūsá aṣ-Ṣadr (1929-disappeared in 1978) (Arabic: السيد موسى الصدر‎, Persian: امام موسى صدر, also transliterated Musā-ye Sader, Moussa Sadr and many other variants), was an Iranian-born Lebanese philosopher and a prominent Shīah religious leader who spent many years of his life in Lebanon as a religious and political leader.

Mūsá aṣ-Ṣadr was born in Qom, Iran in 1929 to the prominent Lebanese aṣ-Ṣadr family of theologians. His father was Ayatollah Ṣadr ad-Dīn aṣ-Ṣadr, originally from Tyre. Grand Ayatollah Muḥammad Bāqir aṣ-Ṣadr is a distant cousin.

He is said to have

worked tirelessly to improve the lot of his community - to give them a voice, to protect them from the ravages of war and intercommunal strife ...

Aṣ-Ṣadr was widely seen as a moderate, demanding that the Maronite Christians relinquish some of their power but pursuing ecumenism and peaceful relations between the groups. He was a vocal opponent of Israel but also attacked the PLO for endangering Lebanese civilians with their attacks.

In 1974 he founded the Movement of the Disinherited to press for better economic and social conditions for the Shīah. He established a number of schools and medical clinics throughout southern Lebanon, many of which are still in operation today.

In August 1978, al-Sadr and two companions departed for Libya to meet with government officials. The three were never heard of again. It is widely believed that the Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi ordered aṣ-Ṣadr's killing, but the motivation is unknown. Libya has consistently denied responsibility, claiming that aṣ-Ṣadr and his companions left Libya for Italy. Some others have reported that he remains secretly in jail in Libya. Aṣ-Ṣadr's disappearance continues to be a major dispute between Lebanon and Libya. Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri claimed that the Libyan regime, and particularly the Libyan leader, were responsible for the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr, London-based Asharq Al-Awsat, a Saudi-run pan-Arab daily reported on 27 August 2006.

According to Iranian General Mansour Qadar, the head of Syrian security, Rifaat al-Asad, told the Iranian ambassador to Syria that Gaddafi was planning to kill aṣ-Ṣadr. On August 27, 2008, Gaddafi was indicted by the government of Lebanon for al-Sadr's disappearance. [8]

I know as a Sunni supporter of Saddam, I "should" be anti-Iranian. But, I can't lie to myself. The future of Muslims is in Iran and its steadfastness. We can put differences behind and rise.

[Sabei0990]

I understand, many Arabs are racist. I was raised differently. I see all people as equals.
