Sheikh before Miqati during Friday Sermon: Some Sides Fear Losing Power over Positions on Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Prime Minister Najib Miqati conducted Friday Muslim prayers at the Munthir Mosque in downtown Beirut where mosque Sheikh Abdul Qader Akkari conducted the sermon, calling for supporting the Syrian people in their plight against a regime crackdown against their protests, reported the daily Al-Liwaa reported on Saturday.
Akkari pointed out that “certain sides’ fear over losing their wealth and position in power is forcing them to take cautious measures over the developments in Syria.”
He said: “This stand harms the Syrian people.”
Earlier in August, Lebanon “disassociated” itself from a United Nations Security Council statement condemning the Syrian regime’s crackdown against protestors.
Miqati justified the decision by saying that Lebanon’s position is firm in rejecting meddling in the affairs of other countries, especially Arab states.
Just as Lebanon refuses intervention in its affairs, it also opposes meddling in the affairs of others, he stressed.

Mr Mikati is welcome to apply for a job here, I think he would make a great carpet salesman instead of his current job as a carpetbagger.

I just don't get it !! can someone explain why Mr. Mikati supposedly an astute and successful businessman put himself in this no win situation by ac`cepting to be the prime minister of a worthless and incompetent government . Does he realize he is a puppet of Hizbullah? Does he really think he can be an effective Prime Minister? If so he is a lunatic and he must be impeached at once...

If you won't fight you won't win. Moderate Lebanese need to think about their futures. There is a difference between right and wrong. No outside force can save a country from its own people. The people themselves must do that. Indifference is not a problem solving strategy. If you don't have a goal, you definitely won't get there.

Hariri Mafia, led by an Imbecile, already lost power and will soon lose their shirts, too. I cannot wait to see cheikh Saad get excited and totally undressed. Then, it should be interesting to see what part of his body Ammar Noury will kiss.
