Liberal Shi'ites In Kuwait Receive Death Threats

Liberal Kuwaiti Shi'ite academic Ibtihal Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khatib recently told of the multiple death threats she had received because of her criticism of Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah and his depiction of the war with Israel as "a divine victory."

Al-Khatib called for the establishment of a commission like Israel's Winograd Commission to examine Nasrallah's activities in the war.

She said that Sunni Muslims from Kuwait had also threatened her, including accusing her of heresy.
