Following are excerpts from a lesson delivered by London-based Shiite cleric Yasser Al-Habib, which aired on Fadak TV on June 5, 2012.

Yasser Al-Habib: Saddam was handsome, brother. Why be unfair? Saddam had a handsome face, especially in his youth. His deeds were ugly, but he looked normal.
In Omar’s case, his face was ugly. Even the Sunnis themselves, in their writings, say that he was so ugly that if a pregnant woman met him on the road, she would have a miscarriage. She could not stand his ugliness.
Member of audience: Did this really happen?
Yasser Al-Habib: Yes, it did. A woman happened to meet Omar on the road, and she had a miscarriage. If a woman saw Omar, she would have a miscarriage.
