Rifi Voices Support for Army's Tripoli Measures, Says No Stability without Justice
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Former Internal Security Forces chief Ashraf Rifi voiced on Saturday his support to the army's procedures in the northern city if Tripoli, remarking that there is no stability if justice was not achieved.
“We urge citizens to cooperate with security forces to achieve stability in Tripoli,” Rifi said after holding talks with the city's MPs at his house.
He continued: “We will give a chance to the army's procedures and we will follow up on them and support them as long as they provide security and balance between different factions in the city.”
There are no new laws invented to go with the security plan, Rifi added.
“What is allowed and what is prohibited according to the laws is known.”
Authorities decided on Monday to place Tripoli under army control for six months after a wave of sectarian killings linked to Syria's war left scores of casualties.
Rifi also denied reports saying some northern factions want a confrontation with the army, assuring that a standoff with the military institution was prevented.
He hoped that the new security plan would be an opportunity to restore stability in the North, stressing however, that “there is no stability without justice.”
The former ISF chief elaborated: “We support going forward with all arrest warrants and judicial warrants but not all crimes can be equated with the big crime, which is the mosques' bombings. This is a terrorist crime but we do not want revenge.”
“Focus must be on the big crime and those who think we will forget about it are delusional. We will file lawsuits with international courts if it was allowed.”
He also revealed that a documentary on the incident was prepared.
Deadly twin car bomb blasts targeted al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques on August 23 in Tripoli, killing at least 45 people.

If you are not the christian they want you to be, then they label you a salafist terrorist sunni cannibal. You need to show them your birth certificate every time you post. They tell you what a christian should believe in politically. God forbid you disagree with their views.... then you no longer are a christian.

I don't sit at the same table with people of your kind. I don't share food with murderers. Go write your heroics in a book I told you about. Flexing your old worn out muscles here is nothing to be proud of. Insulting people is all what you are good at. You are bankrupt, empty, and fake. Bask in the glory of your fake accounts and your fake friends. Disgusting

I disagree here. The more I read this lunatic the more I believe he was in the civil war. He characterizes what these criminals did to innocent people in the civil war. His profile fits perfectly that of a ruthless murderer who robbed, tortured, and murdered.

T'es ridicule en anglais mais c'est encore pire en francais.
Arrete de croire que t'impressiones qui que ce soit ou que tu fais mal a qui que ce soit.
Tu ne reussis a faire que deux choses.
Premierement, te tourner en ridicule.
Deuxiemement, montrer ta vraie nature, a savoir un sectaire arrogant meconnaissant la religion des autres, ignorant de la geopolitique moyen-orientale et sans aucune maniere.
Je viens de te resumer papy, allez va te coucher, tu fais de la peineet tu t'enfonces...

I do not see anything wrong with what Ashraf Rifi said in this article. I support what he said all the way (regardless of his religion). Justice is the foundation for stability, and our LAF are given the benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise. Blowing up the two mosques is a bigger crime, but all crimes are crimes and the punishment should be commensurate with the severity of the crime.

Phoenix, you're well-respected around here and your insight is valued, so I urge you not to drop to the level of those who use street talk and incite sectarian hatred.

Phoenix is one weird dude. Don't bother corresponding with him, it is pointless. He is a schizopheniac, and has deep psychological issues.

Rifi's position commands support. Contrary to other Sunnis leaders in Tripoli, he is saying we support fully the army and the authority of the government, yet we request justice regarding the bombings in front of the mosques.

@primesuspect and their example and elder is the1phoenix:) Amazing how they come from nowhere and idolize him. I have never heard or read so many insults in my life. But, remember after reading his posts they concluded is levelheaded, reasonable, and a victim. Do you know how all this started. He asked for Syrians to be kidnapped in exchange for the nuns. People including myself criticized him and he flew off the handle and has not stopped ever since. Insult after insult....

LOL.... consistent with the facts. This guy should be excommunicated from our church. I am ashamed of people like him. I do honestly believe he has a severe problem. You guys should read the other insults he posted on the other articles.
