Mullah Fudlullah condemns sectarianism
 Senior Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah criticized political bickering taking place in the country and called for openness leading towards a future that would unify the Lebanese people and abolish sectarianism. "Lebanon is drowning in political bickering that could drift away from the objective focus in studying things rationally ... and ethically in a way that would not harm the system of values in bickering and confrontation," said Fadlallah during Friday prayers. Fadlallah was referring to the ongoing row between Justice Minister Adnan Addoum and Chouf MP Walid Jumblatt, which broke out after Addoum said last week he would summon Chouf MP Marwan Hamade for questioning after Hamade said that the security apparatus had concealed evidence about the Oct. 1 assassination attempt on his life. Fadlallah said any criticism should be constructive. He denounced sectarianism, saying it "took people into dark tunnels and handed them over to occupation." Posted by: Fred 2004-12-12 |
