Nasrallah says Hezbollah is no threat to Christians - at the very moment he threatens Christians

This one paragraph from Naharnet sums up Hezbollah beautifully:

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday reassured Lebanon’s Christians that his group is not a “threat” to them, as he accused the rival Lebanese Forces party of seeking civil war and warned it that Hizbullah has “100,000 trained and armed fighters.”

He is saying that no one should fear Hezbollah - and then offhandedly mentions that Hezbollah's illegal army is huge and willing to do whatever it wants without fear.

More detail of Nasrallah's threats:

Reassuring that “Hizbullah, Amal Movement and Shiite Muslims in Lebanon are not enemies of the Christians” and that their “decision” is “coexistence,” Hizbullah’s leader charged that “the biggest threat to Christian presence in Lebanon is the Lebanese Forces party.”

“I advise the LF and its leader to abandon the idea of civil war and internal strife forever,” Nasrallah added, telling Geagea that he is “making wrong calculations” as he “has always done.”

“You are mistaken about Hizbullah's status in the region… You are very mistaken by saying that Hizbullah is weaker than the Palestine Liberation Organization,” Nasrallah went on to say, claiming that Geagea had said that in a meeting with former allies in which he encouraged them to fight Hizbullah alongside the LF.

Noting that Hizbullah has supporters, various departments and allies, Nasrallah warned Geagea that the Iran-backed group also has “100,000 trained and armed fighters.”

“Do not make wrong calculations. Sit still, be polite and draw lessons from your wars and our wars,” he added, addressing Geagea and the LF.

The other contradiction here is between saying that Hezbollah supports "coexistence" and then demands that the Christian group "sit still and be polite." Meaning, for them to act as proper second-class dhimmis in a Muslim Shiite nation, and not to demand equal rights.

That is the Islamist view of "coexistence" - it is only acceptable when Muslims are in charge.
