Aoun Warns War to Move to Lebanon if Assad Ousted, Slams 'Takfiris'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Wednesday warned that the violence in Syria would spill over to Lebanon if the embattled Syrian regime was ousted, rejecting the presence of what he called “Takfiris on our border.”
“Those who backed Israel’s war on Lebanon in 2006 are the same ones who are backing the inner war against Syria, that’s why we should think of good neighborliness and the neighborhood’s security, as we cannot live with Takfiri groups on our border that are interacting with the Lebanese domestic scene,” Aoun said on the 23rd anniversary of the so-called Liberation War he waged in 1989 against Syrian forces stationed in Lebanon.
A Takfiri is a hardline Islamist who practices Takfir, which means to accuse others of apostasy or of being an infidel. Takfiris usually declare takfir upon anyone who does not conform to their hard-line interpretation of Islam.
“When we first talked about Syria, we said that we support reform and that we do not want the presence of extremism on our border, as we cannot accept the rise to power of certain people under the slogans of democracy and human rights, while in the end there will be neither democracy nor human rights, as there is no democracy in their sharia (Islamic law),” Aoun added.
“Let us suppose that the Syrian regime was ousted, what is the alternative in that case? Our safety is at stake and war will reach us. We do not want to close our eyes and say ‘let the (Muslim) Brotherhood rule.’ Where (will they rule?) In (the predominantly Christian Lebanese district of) Keserwan?” Aoun wondered.
Recalling the previous stages, Aoun said everyone blamed him for “declaring war against Syria.”
“But the truth is I did not declare war against Syria, as when a country is occupied it would use everything in its capacity to liberate its land, and we did not bombard the Syrian cities or any inch of Syria,” he added.
He went on to say that “what’s happening in Syria is an international aggression rather than a domestic revolution.”

I wish he would just keep his mouth shut.
The only thing the promotes extremism is tyrany and oppression.
maybe this clown can go get an education before he opens his mouth next time.
Under the baath party sponsorship, all the worlds terrorist organisations were headquartered in Damascus, they were sending terrorists to Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan for decades, they've been oppressing their own people for over 50 years, under the pretext that they are in a state of war with Israel - yet not a single shot has been fired from Syrian territory in 2 decades.
Israel with it's 40+ year occupation of the Golan Heights has not killed as many Syrians as Bashar Assad has killed in this last year.

There is no democracy in their sharia Aoun added
so Iran is undemocratic that's news to Hassan. That's also news to Bashar and his new constitution where the Islamic jurisprudence is the main source of legislation and the religion of the President of the Republic has to be Islam.

What I am doing is outlining the hypocrisy of the so-called general and the so-called reforms of his best friend Assad, the new constitution takes away rights the minorities, especially non Muslims, had by deciding the religion the president's faith. It's like saying that the US president must be white, or the UK PM English, or the French president a Gaul. Reforms strive for progress not retrogress.
Iran kills Muslims who convert to Christianity.
mowaten, come on I know you are smarter this, but that you have to defend the indefensible by lumping all the Syrian opposition together but that's really weak. Stalin, Saddam and The Shah also protected minorities as long as they did not complain. They treated them the same as the majority if they did, that's very democratic.
FlameThrower, you're just a moron nothing more to say.

The Syrian regime forbids anti-Assad demos just like they used to do in Lebanon. Here also they claimed to represent the majority, Nasrallah even bragged about in on March 8 and if General Sleiman and the security forces had followed Pres Lahoud and interior Minister Frangieh's orders to stop the demonstrators from reaching Martyr's square om March 14 he could have bragged some more. I cannot claiming that opposition holds the majority and without the freedom to demonstrate afforded to the loyalist neither can you claim the opposite.
Go check the Iranian Islamic Penal Code and get back to me mowaten. Actually executions by hanging or stoning are common place in Iran and for offenses that are considered minor in democracies. Those include adultery, apostasy, offenses that pertain to personal freedom that state has no buisness interfering in. It's not uncommon for police states to claim accuse opponents of treason or terrorism, Dr Himdi and General Ltaif can confirm this.

it is amazing how this guy he think he only know what is good and what is wright for lebanon or for syria i was one of his annsar in 1989 when he declared liberation war to get the syrian army out of lebanon and when he also declared of harb el elgah i have friends that dies with me in battels and now it does not seem that this guy care about them becouse if he did he would not say what he is saying why should the war come to lebanon if the syrian regime fall he is just scaring what ever left of his supporters that this is what will hapend if assad leave but did we forget what the assad father and son did to us as lebanese, why is he so protective of the assad regime now and he is teling us that all hell will break louse if assad leave? there are extremest all over the world and to me assad is extremest and honesly i dont care what is happening in syria we had worse than that in lebanon and i did not see any syrian worried about us.

yes the war might move to lebanon because AOUN and Hezbollah would rather bring this country to civil war than to relinquish their power. they dont care about Lebanon but only themselves.

I agree mowaten, once the war spills over into lebanon we can all rest assured that uncle mishoo and hussouny the protectors of our great home will defend us against the agressors. you might want to send them some zeit zeytoun to oil there guys allowing them to face the opposite direction though. follow the logic not the person.

Trying to scare Christians in Lebanon with the big bad takfiri boogie man. Who said Fatah al Islam was a red line? Who wants to set up an Islamic state in lebanon? Who was the one that triggered the 2006 war with a stupid operation that brought a punishment a thousand times worse than what it did to Israel? The great fake resistance that you are allied with Mr general.

General, put it to rest. There should be a law against you making speeches more then once a week.
This is the empty shell of a man that M8 puts up as a leader. Yeah, a great alternative to Geagea and Gemayel.
From one day to the next, he rambles on.... "as we cannot live with Takfiri groups on our border that are interacting with the Lebanese domestic scene”.... “Let us suppose that the Syrian regime was ousted, what is the alternative in that case? Our safety is at stake"
Go hide in Nasrallah's hole if you are so scared. It was bad enough when you were only a deserter, now that you have jumped into Assad's bed you are also a traitor.
Where are your cheer leaders. Are the 3 stooges sleeping on the job :-)

Its so obvious he works for another agenda. our leaders should secure our safety and say they will reject and fight any invasion or terror from any regime
15 March 2012, 06:31

his main goal is to try to convince the blind that what we are seeing is not murder and support the present syrian government, while the rest of the world agrees assad should be ousted. but the best thing is he's putting our country in the same position as the number 1 terrorist country iran with the most sanctions and is bankrupt

Aoun's hallucinations, contradictions and bla bla bla'ing, Syria too is occupied by the Assad gang and Syrian people deserve their freedom, call them salafis, terrorists, wahabis bla bla bla..drink from the sea, and headsup Aoun: hizbustan also has a "sharia" and they too have no democracy..alas the democracy of the black shirts lol.

This lunatic, paranoiac, mentally unstable politician, should raise a fighting brigade from his followers in Kesrouan, and go to the rescue of the murderous regime in Damascus! I don't think that the Hizb though has waited for him!
