إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Unknown assailants on Friday set fire to a famous library owned by Father Ibrahim Sarrouj in the northern city of Tripoli.
“Firemen are trying to extinguish the blaze that erupted in Father Ibrahim Sarrouj's library in Tripoli's al-Rahbat street,” LBCI television reported.
The torching of the al-Saeh Library comes after reports that claimed the father had published a book deemed insulting to Islam.
Bashir Hazzouri, an employee at the library, was shot and wounded on Thursday in the old souks of Tripoli.
Al-Saeh Library is considered one of the most renowned libraries in Tripoli and the second largest in Lebanon.
Sarrouj says the library contains more than 70,000 books.

By penalizing his family, the hizb are doing the same as what the isrealis do to palistinian bombers, destroy their houses. The hizb is a curse on lebanon, and their evil has bought many other evils upon us

Lamentable and extremely dispiriting.
May Father Ibrahim muster the resolve to palliate his sorrow.

An investigation will need to occur and cameras will need to be planted surrounding the library to protect father Sarrouj.
A proper trial for those who did it must occur.

STOP blaming other groups, BLAME is NOT going to resolve ANY problems here.
We need to unite together, all of us, as one, as the LEBANESE. I've had enough of this bollocks! I say, we should blame those who DON'T want us to unite as one, THOSE are our true enemies!
Enough bloodshed, let's replant the Cedar Trees! Let's Rebuild our country!
