The Future Movement issued a statement on Tuesday calling on its supporters to refrain from sectarian statements that contradicts the principles of coexistence in Lebanon

The Movement emphasized its commitment to coexistence in Lebanon.

It noted that certain statements made by Lebanese journalist Mohammad Salam in Tripoli’s Tuesday protest—slamming Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iran in the name of the Sunnis, do not represent the political convictions of the Future Movement.

In a related development Future Movement MP Okab Sakr, who is a Muslim Shiite told New TV: What happened today is more serious than what happened when the Shiite ministers resigned in 2006 because then those that resigned belonged to a political group, but today one group is trying to isolate an entire sect. In reference to Hezbollah’s undermining of the Sunni leadership, since MP Saad Hariri is reportedly the most popular Sunni leader

Protests continue to rock Lebanon. Thousands of angry protesters burned tires and blocked roads across Lebanon on Tuesday after Iranian and Syrian-backed Hezbollah secured the appointment of its candidate to lead the next government.

The protests were part of a “day of anger” called by supporters of Hariri to protest against Hezbollah which is funded and supported by Tehran.

listen to you in 2006 you were begging the world community to stop Israelis bombing. I guess your memory is too short and you’re very proud to admit it of course. You don’t remember your buddies hiding behind the Children school in Qana not once they did but twice where israelis bombed twice and caused so many death and injuries. You don’t remember many families were eliminated because your buddies where shooting from around their homes where the israelis had to hit back and cause death. All that to get the world community outraged at Israelis so they can stop their bombings. I remember israelis showing somalis ID’s dying along Nassrallah fake troops. The Somalis were getting paid 2000 dollars a month if they fought in the war. your pathetic resistance are bunch of cowards and Israel will strike you hard and with no mercy this time.

Read and weep moron .

Report: Israel asked UK help on ceasefire last week

The As-Sennara newspaper, which is published in Nazareth, reported that Israel turned to British Ambassador Simon McDonald last weekend asking that he urge Prime Minister Tony Blair to act along with the US to promote a ceasefire with Hizbullah.

The report said Israel was hoping for a ceasefire due to disagreement between the security establishment and the political echelon, but President George W. Bush refused.

PROPHET.T

Just for the lack of accuracy of Okab Saker’s statement.
He is right that those who resigned from the goverment in 2006 represented political groups, But He fails to mention that those minsters and the group which they represented in the cabinet were representing a whole sect. Once they resigned, The Shiia representaion became zero,yet the government went about its business like nothing happened.
In today’s case, the Sunnis will have representation minus Hariri .People have the right to question the sunni representation,and no one can deny that at least 8 sunni PM out named Mikati to the premier’s office. Counting the eight Sunni PMs,and the rest of the Sunni opposition, the Sunni representation is not as bad as some would like us to believe.

You just can’t make the rules as you go!

The norm in Lebanon is that Muslims and Christians both have to be represented. Then Hezbollah decides it should also applies to sects and resigns. Then they decide when electing the speaker of the parliament thatit should be Berri since he has the largest Shiite support only to change the rule when it comes to the PM post.

You guys are bankrupt when it comes to logic, which explains the March 8 tactics to revert to insults and intimidation.

Ladies and gents, I for one am very dissapointed with all that is happening in Lebanon and what Syria and Iran have accomplished. but we as Lebanese cannot let individuals like Soulmates bring out the hatered in us, im with bigsami on this, lets Ignore him and lets foucus on how we can become a stronger nation with those who are willing to work for the better of Lebanon and not for the better of their pockets. no matter if your a Sunni like me or if your a Shiite, Christian or Druze if you care about Lebanon, we can all work togeather for a Better Lebanon. I know we cant do much but atleast we can start with ourselves and stop this nonesence of name calling which only serves the evil doers. what is happening in Lebanon is way bigger than all of us and even all the politicians in lebanon, including harriri and the sayyed, lets face it, if it wasnt for the Assad and Iran you think we would be in this prediciment?
so lets wait and see what God has written for us and if you truly believe in God then you should trust that lebanon will one day be rid of all Evil Doers! dont think for one moment that I will sit aside and be silent, I will to the end express my Love and Passion to the Country that I was born in and always strive to acheive what is best for Lebanon, NOT what is Best For ME. Hope that you all will join me, and yes Soulmates you are very welcome to be amongst us

What a Shame on Lebanese people.
I hope Lebanon learns something from these ongoing revolutionary events taking place in North Africa. Instead, all that we are seeing at the moment is continuous violence and serious schisms taking place in the Lebanese society as to which billionaire politician will be most favored to assume the role of prime minister of Lebanon.
Lastly, I said this before and I will continue saying it again the root of all evil in Lebanon is the sectarianism and its political superstructure this represents.
My assumption is that the current sectarian political system is the sole reason that prevents “class consciousness” from being built up among the general masses which is necessary precursor for any revolutionary change.
Today Lebanon faces similar contradictions or worth then Tunisia especially in socio economic matters. The distinction, however, comes in the division of Lebanese working class among sectarian lines which this becomes a barrier for soliderity movements to form in a camaraderie spirit.
The hell with March 14 and March 8 politicians…………..

Wake up ! – the one way to fight terrorism and armed thugs is with the same tactics- HA is in power not through democracy and peaceful tactics but through lies, threats, assassinations and intimidation- these thugs don’t value or respect democracy and a quite protest against their ways will not get any meaningful reaction. The Time for a revolution is now or never- its time to destroy and rebuild or else Lebanon is lost forever – Welcome to New Iran.
