Sunni Cleric

This article describes the call (issued through a fatwa) by one Sunni Cleric to support the Syrian rebels against their government, and at the same time decrying Iran and the Hezbollah.  The rest of the article further describes the Sunni and Shiite divide involved with the war in Syria and how this is involving Lebanon in that divide.  Specifically, how it involves the Hezbollah and the conflict spreading into Lebanon.
