#1 So when are you saddling up, Abu? Or is martyrdom for the "little people"?

#2 "It is not true that Esbat al-Ansar is an armed group of Salafist tendencies close to the al-Qaeda network, like many in the media claim," says Zouhair Hawari, an expert in extremist Islamic groups in Lebanon at the Lebanese University in Beirut. "Instead Esbat al-Ansar is a group formed in recent years by Syria's secret service agents based in Lebanon and its members are Lebanese nationals from Dinniye, a northern Lebanese town near the city of Tripoli. They have nothing to do with the Ain al-Hilwe refugee camp," Hawari told Adnkronos International (AKI).

Syria again!

#4 Considered foreigners, Palestinian refugees are prohibited by law from working in more than 70 trades and professions.

That's insane. And medieval. Is one of those trades usury? The Palestinians really are surrogate Jews.

#5 No...old Abu is big pussy. He'd rather send boys to do what he doesn't have the cajones to do. I guess allan has given him higher orders cuz he is more important.

The Lebanese, by and large, are shit upon by the Syrians; the Palestinian refugees there are shit upon, at least as far as having a normal life with a productive job and the like, are shit upon by both Syria and Lebanon. All the groups are told that "as soon as Israel 'goes away' you can have a normal life back!" The ones who believe it can become pro-syrian hard boyz and have an outlet for their beliefs. The ones who don't believe it... well, there's no organized militia for _them_ to join, and they remember that what Syria does to its enemies is a lot worse than what Israel does to theirs, so they keep their mouth shut and wound up stuck in the camps with no prospects but being manual labor. And have yet another generation, who may be more likely to believe the Syrians.
