 Lebanon's Muslim clerics stressed the importance of national unity in facing the challenges ahead on Friday, and the necessity for dialogue as a way to avoid conflicts. Senior Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah urged the Lebanese to ignore the statements of foreign countries regarding the situation in Lebanon, and asked them to hold discussions between parties, despite all the conflicts. Fadlallah said: "We are afraid that the international game aims at reintroducing the country to the vicious circle of war, which we could overcome in the past thanks to communication and dialogue."
| Interesting bit of reasoning there. Hariri gets boomed, and the most likely suspects are the Syrians and/or the Lebanese, followed by al-Qaeda. The attempt to blame it on the Mossad hasn't stuck, not even in Nutland. So Mullah Fudlullah's idea now is to just ignore what the neighbors are saying and move on... |
The remarks came during his Friday sermon, delivered at Al-Imamayn al-Hassanay Mosque in Haret Hreik. According to Fadlallah, the United States is not concerned about Lebanon's sovereignty and independence, but only cares about Israel's security.
| I can remember when we were about equally concerned with Lebanon, but that was a long time ago, before people like Mullah Fudlullah achieved prominence. |
