| Shahhal Says Army Arrested his Son in Tripoli |
| 2014-12-13 |
[An Nahar] Prominent Salafist leader Dai al-Islam al-Shahhal claimed on Friday that the Lebanese army tossed in the slammerKeep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! his son Jaafar in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... overnight. Al-Shahhal said an army intelligence unit apprehended Jaafar in the area of al-Zahriyeh. The Salafist Movement condemned the arrest, saying no arrest warrant has been issued against the man. Al-Shahhal, who is the founder of the movement in Tripoli, told An Nahar daily last month that an arrest warrant issued against him by the military prosecutor would have dire consequences. He accused the Lebanese institutions of discriminating against its citizens. "I cannot remain silent toward such injustice," he said. The warrant against al-Shahhal was issued after the military found a weapons cache at the residence of Sheikh Bilal Diqmaq, another salafist ...also known as Wahhabis, salafists are against innovation in religion or in anything else. They eat the same things every meal of every day and all their children are named Abdullah or Mohammed. Not all salafists are takfiris, but all takfiris are salafists. They are fond of praying five times a day and killing infidels... holy man. Al-Shahhal said the arms belonged to him and demanded that the military returned them. They're family heirlooms. |
