Mufti Qabbani Urges Lebanese to 'Wake Up,' Warns against Sunni-Shiite Strife
[An Nahar] Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani stressed on Friday that Shiites in the country have no links to the deadly bombings 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... "Moslems must know that the blast in the southern suburbs of Beirut was not executed by Sunnis and today's bombings in Tripoli were not orchestrated by Shiites," Qabbani said in a televised speech. He added: "Those who want to drag Leb into the regional conflict are the parties behind both blasts." "This is a call for Lebanese of all sects to be aware of this terrorist message. They must wake up from their slumber." "Terrorism is the most powerful weapon of the conspiracy against Leb and sedition the easiest road to burn down the region" The Mufti reminded the Lebanese of "their enmity with the Jews." "Although you have your differences, you must not, however, forget your enmity with the Jews and be aware of what they are planning for you," he noted. "It is in the interest of the Jews to create divisions and segregation between the Lebanese." Posted by: Fred 2013-08-24 |
