Fadel Shaker Charged with Sectarian Incitement, Defamation of Army
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged on Tuesday singer-turned Salafist Fadel Shaker with sectarian incitement through Facebook, reported the National News Agency.
It added that he was also charged with defaming the army and “tarnishing the ties of Lebanon with another country.”
Saqr referred the case to First Military Examining Magistrate Riyad Abou Ghida.
Shaker had fled justice more than a year ago following bloody clashes that erupted in June 2013 in the area of Abra, between the army and supporters of Salafist fugitive cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir.
Now in his mid-forties, Shaker was born to a Palestinian mother and Lebanese father in the country's biggest Palestinian refugee camp, Ain el-Hilweh.
Shaker became the best-known face of Asir's small movement of openly sectarian Sunni radicals and praised the cleric as "the lion of the Sunnis".
Judicial authorities have issued a detention order for Asir and 123 of his supporters, including Shaker, whose brother was killed in clashes with the army in Sidon in 2013.

for the sake of consistency, Judge Sakr should charge nassrallah of the same offenses/crimes for "tarnishing the ties of Lebanon with another country." and several countries.

I respect Mr. Shaker, Mr. Nassrallah, and Mr. Flamethrower for their artistic talent and Jihadi commitment.

pajamas... this guy cheered the death and unprovoked attack on the Lebanese army at a check point in Sidon! 18 LAF were murdered! you think that cheering this attack is not defamation? The LAF is not just a public institution that can be criticised... the LAF is the WATAN! The LAF is Lebanon! Attacking the LAF is attacking the fabric of what Lebanon represents! The LAF is the only non sectarian institution in Lebanon! Without the LAF there is no Lebanon! is that what you want?

That is not the question samleb. The questions are "Do you love Bachar"? Do you think Bachar is a friend of an independent and Democratic Lebanon? Are you Qawmi? Are you HA supporter?

Question is, are you loyal to Israel? Are you loyal to Saudi Arabia? Yes you are. So who cares if he supports Assad? I Support Assad for sure, rather him than Abo Bakr Baghdadi or Al Nusra that you love.

PJ-boy, the persians, the big evil monsters, wahaha.
Ok now, stop this childish brainwashed stupid propaganda, whether persians or ben saoudians, or americans. this is leading nowhere except maybe boosting your little ego and drowning us even more into the lost cause this country has become. Unless you are related to one of our great leaders, than I totally understand, keep people afraid and get richer and filthier...
