...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...condemned what was issued by the country’s religious authority against the Shiite Islamic community, and what it described as "sectarian incitement that stirs up strife and distorts the facts and slanders a sect."
The council’s statement read: "The Supreme Islamic Shiite Council denounced what was issued by a large religious authority against the Shiite Moslem community, and for what the discourse descended into from sectarian incitement that stirs up strife and distorts the facts and slanders a sect that has provided its best youth and energies in the battle to liberate the homeland, the whole nation, and defeat the terrorists.

those who have pledged to foreign countries and serve suspicious interests against the interests of the homeland and its people, persist in distorting the facts and misleading the Lebanese about the issue of forming a reform rescue government that preserves the unity of Lebanon in its charter and constitution and its stability and economy, and if we demand that the Shiite community retain the Ministry of Finance, out of our keenness on national partnership in the procedural authority, what is happening between the parliamentary blocs should apply between the political components in forming the government."
The council affirmed that "the policy of exclusion, isolation and marginalization that Imam Sayyid Musa al-Sadr has long warned against does not build a nation nor produce a state, but rather contributes to striking our national fabric and destabilizing our national unity, at a time when we need to strengthen our cooperation and strengthen our unity, and we have been and are still demanding the abolition.

The council released this statement in response to the Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rahi’s criticism of the country’s Shitte leaders.
