قطع طرقات وإلقاء قنابل في طرابلس

What the army did in Saida, it is time to do in Tripoli. We must take back Tripoli from these people and bring it back to Lebanon.

Is it not the pacifist Christians and allies who colonized and split up the Muslims while exterminating natives, how very civilized of them.

Probably because they are poor with little access to education and feel betrayed. That's why people like Assir find followers. Nothing to do with their religion.

Guys honestly this country is on the verge of collapse and all you can think about is this ignorant topic of muslim & christian and who did what to whom.Why cant I for once be able to plan a trip to Lebanon for the summer without having to worry about stupid people with guns terrorising all of us who just want to visit our friends and family and have a good time. Is that so hard to ask for? Im sick and tired of this country whose people keep on voting for the sane idiots, our so called leaders who have brought nothing but disasters, over and over again. But lets not talk about that, lets talk about how thousands of years ago some muslim and christian killed one another, this is a topic which seems to be sooooo important for us, the Lebanese sheep.

who ever is moderating these comments should ensure that idiotic and stupid comments such as the eee guest one above, do not get posted as it only reflects bad on Naharnet as an online news site.

loveandpeace I'm not even a Christian, I'm an atheist and a realist with an education in history. Christianity came from the Levant. Islam came from the uncivilized Bedouin tribes in the Arabian desert (look at a map they are two different places). And don't give me any of that hippy peace crap. You preach tolerance and love to those who would behead you in the name of their god. Respect is given where it is earned, and if you give them respect they will climb on your back and have it their way and if you protest they will cry that you are not being tolerant enough (or kill you for your heresy in the name of Allah). I am the fool? The fool is the one that gives amnesty to people like Assir and his poisonous religion.
