Bahrain Mirror: Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that "avoiding the military option is sometimes a form of jihad towards achieving the goal," referring to the peaceful choice taken by the Bahraini opposition in its struggle for freedom and dignity as an example.
Nasrallah explained during a speech he delivered on the occasion of Ashura, that "steering clear of the military option is sometimes a form of jihad in order to achieve the goal, as in Bahrain, despite imprisonment, oppression and killings committed by the regime, the opposition insists on a peaceful option and avoids using weapons, and this, in itself, is a jihad."
