lmao @ sicofit, typical response from someone whose fed by b.s. through the media. People like you will say anything to make Islam sound like its the culprit behind this. As someone stated already your just plain ignorant. The region thats seeing this fighting in Lebanon (Tripoli) is an area where the two sides have been warring for hundreds of years, these recent clashes go far beyond the events of the last 2 years. Religion is a guideline, its how people interpret it that causes problems.
Lebanon's new President Michel Suleiman holds consultations Wednesday with Lebanese MPs and parliamentary blocs on the head of the new government. Apparently, the ruling bloc has decided on nominating the head of the caretaker government Fouad Saniora for that post, while the opposition does not consider Saniora as a consensus candidate. The opposition, mainly the loyalty to the resistance, the development and liberation, the change and reform and other blocs and opposition MPs have all refrained from naming a candidate for the premiership.
US, SAUDI PRESSURE ON MARCH 14 TO NAME SANIORA FOR PREMIERSHIP
Unwilling to stop following directions from outside governments, the loyalty bloc in Lebanon, and after "contacts" with Washington, Riyadh and other capitals, renamed the head of the caretaker government Fouad Saniora as its candidate for premiership under newly-elected President Michel Suleiman.
The so-called March 14 ruling bloc said in a statement it decided on Saniora at a late-night meeting on Tuesday and was to inform Suleiman of its choice when he begins binding consultations on
Wednesday on forming the government.
The opposition is not likely to name Saniora who will be, if commissioned to form the government, a weak PM in terms of national consensus.
Only Saniora and Future parliamentary bloc leader Saad Hariri, were being considered by the ruling bloc for the premiership, a Sunni post.
Other Sunni figures in the ruling bloc expressed resentment at the decision. According to Al-Akhbar daily, Minister of Public Works and Tansport and March 14 member MP Mohamad Safadi said he would run for the post in case his bloc did not nominate Hariri. He gained initial support from the opposition and other loyalty MPs, however swift "interventions" rendered Safadi reluctant to take the step. "For Safadi, the momentous thing was the position of Saudi Ambassador Abdul Aziz Khojah's during the "March 14" bloc meeting telling participants including Safadi that Riyadh sees good in any of the two (Hariri or Saniora), in a clear signal that the Saudi kingdom rules out Safadi," Al-Akhbar said.
Truth You are so off base this is all about Islam and it's inability to get along with the rest of the world, so if people chose to call it the way it is then so be it, hamas declared war against Christians world wide in April so stick it Oh sorry thats what you do to disobedient wives. heres what hamas had to say Hamas has declared war on Christians now, so soon all these muslims with there agenda, will soon be saying the same things about us, as they now do to the Jews. Check this out, In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Yunis Al-Astal, Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Rome, "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam, just as Constantinople was. It then, he said, would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe."
Peace will never find its way here as long as there are 2 militaries. Hezbollah speaks for the muslims, but the government speaks for all. These are just puppets of Iran, that without Iranian support would have collapsed long ago. As well, most are of palestinian decent. Who else but the dumb palestinians could Iran get to follow there commands. The Iranians and Syrians suffer not what their palestinian fodder do. Iran will see that a crusade of biblical proportions is coming for them.
and the christians were fighting amongst themselves in Ireland for decades...and if you are not a Judaist you can refer to 100's of passages of violence in the Bible....so lets not go there...yes the Lebanese are fighting amongst themselves..which is not a good thing...DO NOT BRING IN ISLAM into the picture....for you dont know much about your own religion (if you have one) and nothing about Islam.
sicofit and Joshua R...your Islamophobia is only matched by your ignorance. It was not Muslims who killed 120 million of themselves in the 2 world wars. It was not Muslims who killed so called 6 million Jews...just so you know.... the Germans and most of Europe was and is catholic. And if you want you can call the great wars as between Protestants and Catholics...all the Allied Powers were predominantly Protestants and the Axis powers were catholic.
i still cant beleive how the army can stand and watch their people being killed by groups of militants, how they allow rockets ro reign in on there country men, how they let woman and children get killed while trying to flee the carnage, these countrymen who pay for a army who stands by and lets Hezbollah massacure them, if the army is too cowardly then atleast give your weapons back to the people to defend themselves, give it to the real men who are dying trying to protect there country
Always by force this is just the tip of the iceberg Hamas declared war against the free world
last month but did the liberal news touch on it no of course not so I will. Hamas has declared war on Christians now so soon all these muslims with an agenda will soon be saying the same things about us as they now do to the Jews Check this out. In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Yunis Al-Astal, Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Rome, "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam, just as Constantinople was.
