Maybe Patriarch Sfeir saying “so called Hizbillah” he means not a person or party or a sect has the right to high jack God and make him his own it is a gross audacity to do to God[whether he likes it or not how about if he disagrees with your policies eg. killing fellow citizen so God is stuck, what about all other people, parties and sect are second class people of God, what I am saying I can not take credit myself and call myself you [God] only loves me.

This patriarch doesn’t know who God is in the first place.

A priest once told me that everything that happens in life is because of God’s will. I said okay.

So let’s say Hezbollah defeating Israel was God’s will since he God wrote everything that will happen supposedly bla bla…

Now you have the highest ranking “Christian” authority in the Middle East and for the Maronites saying the so called hezbollah and so called divine victory and so called etc..

How do we even know he believes in God. He can sing and preach and give 10 sermons a night but what is he actually doing in order to help all God’s creations(all human beings). Practically nothing than just mentioned. I’m giving this an objective look by the way.

Basically, religion is political and the leaders these days have nothing to do with real spiritual guidance. The vatican or muslim brotherhood or whatever are just as political as any other organization.

This guy is a man of God??!!This guys is a a joke!!!
Hezbollah might have different points of view in politics, but have always respected the devoted of all religions in Lebanon! Never ONCE have you EVER heard malicious attacks against different groups regardless of there political stance….Sfier is a JOKE! This Syrian and “SO CALLED PATRIARCH” should be ashamed to be called a true Christian and follower of Christ! GO HOME SYRIAN!

Heaven forbids anyone criticizes hezbollah but they can insult anyone they like. Few years ago Al Manar TV interviewed Suleiman Franjiah and his own words made fun of the patriach that he was looking at the women during the time where many where visiting him. I do not remember the occassions but Franjiah insulted him and AL Manar the mouth piece of Hezbollah have insulted Sfeir on several occassions by using so called Christians to attack Sfeir. Stop acting if Nassrallah is wholly. he’s not in any way shape or form is a religious man and all he does promote violance and destructions. There is a huge difference between man of peace like Sfeir and a man who threatens people and promise to cut off their arms and wreak havoc and destruction on earth. Don’t you even insult this man because hezbollah is an insult to Lebanon and all the arabs. You’re a disgrace to all of us and anyone sides with you is nothing but criminals just like you.

I personally dont think men of god have anything to do with politics and should stay out of it. this is what creates internal strife in lebanon. 1 people love some stupid religion more than god and lebanon when we all share 1 god and 1 country.
2 some so called man of god says one thing and another decides not to agree and we have war again. I think our leaders are too much to handle already and the last thing we need is a priest or sheik getting involved. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I DO AGREE WITH WHAT HE SAID BUT DONT LIKE IT WHEN MEN OF GOD TALK POLITICS

Its common sense ,the only man thats supposedly of God thats a Joke is Hassan Hezbollah with his weapons and hate filled speeches.
Sfier speaks about the protection of his people and he’s been true to his word through peaceful channels.

In a ever so becoming Muslim dominated society such as Lebanon, As a leader for the Maronite community, the Patriarch needs to practice politics to serve and protect his people to ensure their survival and human rights are not oppressed by those who do not believe in the same rights.

At least he does not use weapons to get his points across but rather does so in a civil and peaceful manner. His objections to whats happening in Lebanon are not based on hate but rather on a clear understanding of the dynamics of the political situation which effects the Christian community significantly. He has said it many times that he believes Lebanon should be an example of Christian Muslim coexistence. He is concerned when their is injustice and disrespect to the law and obvious dominance of on religious Militant group having complete control over all aspects of Lebanese society without any obvious tolerance to those who differ.

Fadi, The Christians have political parties that can do the talking. Weather is Nasralla pr Sfier or some other guy its all the same to me. Religion and politics dont mix and when they are mixed the results are always negative. Look at Lebanon, Yugoslavia, Iraq and lots of other places.

rabih i’m with you man

rabih i’m with you man

I am sorry but i have to disagree, When other religions force their agenda on the Lebanese citizens, its fair play for all religious leaders to intervene politically. Other Christian political leaders are tainted and paid by foreign governments.
Sfier has an obligation as the religious leader of the Maronites to defend his church and its people in Lebanon by speaking out against the injustice, after all thats a Christian virtue .
I agree that religion and politics should be separated but not until the government can guarantee protection and freedoms for all the Lebanese and everyone is treated equally regardless of weather or not they side with Hezbollah.
Until that happens , the Maronites need a religious voice to protect their rights and beliefs and freedoms.

fadi, did you read the comment? I dont think any of these guys should be talking politics. I think a priest or sheik or whatever should stay out of politics at least publicly.

Of course i read your comments but maybe you did not get the main idea from mine- i do agree with What your saying , however – its not possible for Sfier to stay away from politics when other religious groups are attacking his people and silencing them.
He is not instigating wars or being a “war hero”
There is a political religious agenda thats being executed in Lebanon.. Sfeir can only back down when their is civil obedience to the law.
As a leader of a major Christian group in Lebanon , he has an obligation as a Christian to defend his people. That comes with his territory.
Once there is true Peace, then i would say he is to blame but at this point, he does not have a choice. He would be wrong to stay quiet with all the injustice around him. His objections are peaceful and logical- Jesus may very well preach the same.
