“against the culture of Hezbollah”

Hezbollah says those playing cards are un-Islamic:

When contacted by The Daily Star, Hizbullah spokesman Ibrahim Moussawi said that it would be “against the culture” of Hizbullah for it to use such “reckless” methods. He noted that card playing is generally frowned upon in Islamic culture, adding that “Hizbullah does not endorse or sanction” the production or use of such cards.

This is the official line of course. Perhaps the leaders didn’t approve of the cards, but I wouldn’t be surprised if an overzealous supporter took this project upon himself a sold the cards in Hezbollah neighborhoods.
