Geagea Says Hizbullah, IS Two Sides of Same Coin
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea has said that Hizbullah and the extremist Islamic State group are enemies but have closely related features of one idea.
“Hizbullah is the IS's enemy and they are fighting each other,” Geagea told UAE's Alroeya newspaper in an interview published on Monday.
“But dogmatically, it (Hizbullah) and the IS are the two sides of a single political currency which is political Islam. The presence of one of them nurtures the other,” he said.
Hizbullah has sent its fighters to Syria to help the troops of President Bashar Assad.
“Hizbullah's presence in Syria pushed many (sides) to adopt terrorism, which we totally reject,” Geagea said.
He said the crimes committed by regime troops and the IS are the same. “Except that the crimes of Assad are much bigger than those committed by the IS.”
Syria's uprising began in March 2011 when Assad's troops began clamping down on anti-regime demonstrations. It then erupted into a civil war with rebels seeking to topple him.
“Terrorism would be eradicated when the dictatorship in Syria is eliminated and replaced by a democratic system,” the LF chief told his interviewer.
As for Iraq, the different factions should agree on political solutions to help the country face the threat of terrorists, he said.
Asked whether he thought that the Christians in the Arab world were under threat.
Geagea said: “I believe that moderate Christians and Muslims are being targeted.”
But he called for giving special care to some Christian minorities for being unable to confront major events.
Turning to the terrorist threat facing Lebanon, Geagea said: “The logic of the state will eventually win.”
“The state lies on the path of history while extremism goes in the other direction,” he added.
Geagea expressed confidence in the Lebanese army and its unity, saying it is “capable to easily wipe it (terrorism) off.”

Don't forget the disrespectful Mystic who never fails at flooding these boards with offensive posts reflecting his radical Hizbollah ideology.

This childkiller called Geagea, whom you takfiri lovers worship. Are the biggest terrorist in Lebanons history. I didn't expect any other garbage words from this clown called Lady Gaga.

what mowaten, FT, mystic and others refuse to see is that more than half the Lebanese people agree with Geagea and consider hizbushaitan as the equivalent of Daesh and Israel.
it is the same religious political dogmas.

oh i understand very well what he's doing geha, and i understand that impression you have: you think he's speaking some sort of amazing truth and oozing wisdom because he repeats what (much less than) half the people think... and that's exactly what i meant when i called him a demagogue.
FYI: "A demagogue /ˈdɛməɡɒɡ/ (from French "demagogue", derived in turn from the Greek "demos" = people/folk and the verb "ago" = carry/manipulate thus "people's manipulator") or rabble-rouser is a political leader in a democracy who appeals to the emotions, fears, prejudices, and ignorance of the lower classes in order to gain power and promote political motives."
sounds familiar?

Political Islam that's a great euphemism for Islamic terrorism...

Not so long ago, the incredible credible flamethrower said:
""...flamethrower--
I respect many differing opinions and you know it.""
and this respect is clearly demonstrated in all his posts and the one post above is a prime example of the respect he shows others.

How is there logic in the state when we have no president and the same Parliament for eight years?

doesn't need to have a logic, like everything djadja says, it only has to sound vaguely pompous for his followers to get hyped

Yes indeed well said. Shiite political islam on one side and Sunni political islam on the other. However the shiite political islam led by Iran is so well organized and has been swapping the arab world since over 30 years. Iran is arming, financing, training militias in Syrian, Lebanon, Iraq, Gaza, Sudan, and Yemen. They had a go in Sinaï but their attempts were aborted thanks to Sisi.
What is really chocking is that some christians like clAoun are allying themselves with the Shiite political against sunni political Islam, when there sunnis and shia who are distancing themselves from any political islam.

bravo humble, you're such a precursor! it's like you invented a whole new concept of retarded hating and dodgy comparisons! everybody being retarded should pay you royalties for the use of your intellectual property
26 January 2015, 11:25
1811
Sure. You should be among the first to pay me royalties.
Royalties on Imbassil, on the Caporal, on the corruption of the Tayyar inner circle, on the mental illness and megalomania of the mareedman, and on the traitors following a traitor. That makes some substantial royalties.

from one poster to the other mowaten the mouthpiece has nothing to say except harass, mock, and disrupt posters. Five comments so far and no substance in any of them except personal attacks. When he is not posting under one of his tens of aliases he posts as a guest to insult people. What gives it away is his grammar and language like his use of the word "djadja" which he used as a guest blasting the forum with insults. What a troll !

so hizb and the west and civilized world are friends
and the enemy of all extremisime is democracy

i dont really think ISIS is the enemy of the west.. all their attacks are against arabs and the countries they are destroying are not those of the west... the countries they are destroying are the ones the west wanted destroyed, first iraq and now syria..
however, hezbollah being ISrael's enemy, and ISIS being hezbollah's enemy, that makes the two "ISes" friends...

Excellent. If the Caporal doesn't react, his silence means he agrees...
Ebola, and Iran aren't going to like it after all the millions they gave him...
Caporal the servant will react. Mark my words.
26 January 2015, 12:07

Caporal will have a Tayyar lower grade person to answer. Like jreissati who is another dirty servant.

oh _mowaten_ you scare me sometimes!!!! I was thinking the same thing, exactly the same thing. We are so so similar it is not even funny anymore. We are both Shia and extremists; We both pretend to be secular and non-prejudicial; We both are malignant narcissists; We both lie and distort and last but not least; We both are paid to post.
_mowaten_, do you think people might think we are the same poster? I hope not

Depending on What you want? Shi3as are all in one basket are HizEbolah in Lebanon And Shi3a in Yemen are all Houthis? You tell us and we respect what you come up with! But when the time comes to deal with HizEbola and the Houthis the will be considered on their own ... a small fraction of shi3a ...
One more thing you seem dedicated to defend and defend The terror group called Hizbola and never consider that they make mistakes ever ... do you think about yourself saying the truth rhere?

Samir Geagea is courageous enough to say the truth. He was once an armed extremist, but seems to have found his ways after spending some time in jail.
I guess we need to see Netanyahu, Khamanei, Nasrallah, Assad and all their cronies in jail for their crimes against humanity for a decade maybe they will all turn into Geageas.

Hakim will never be president. The army institution will never allow him to see it since he fought them in 89 and 90. I said it before, he can be president in maarab and not baabda.

he is totally right! even if hezbi lovers believe that hezbollah is a resistance... = fake resistance , resisting only for its power! never for Lebanon!
hezbollah does EVERYTHING fanatics do to brainwash people and make them support it... just look at the facts and compare!
