Dar al-Fatwa: Aoun should Apologize over Abdul Wahed ‘Slander’
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Dar al-Fatwa accused Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun on Thursday of killing Sunni Sheikh Ahmed Abdul Wahed twice by claiming he was carrying liquor bottles in his car when he was shot at an army checkpoint in the northern district of Akkar in May.
“Aoun should apologize for publicly insulting Muslims and Ulemas in particular,” Dar al-Fatwa said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Aoun wondered what was found in the car of Abdul Wahed and his companion Sheikh Mohammed Merheb when they were killed at al-Kweikhat checkpoint.
“We heard that it contained alcoholic beverages,” he said.
“Does Aoun want to slander martyred Sheikh Abdul Wahed and kill him once again by tarnishing his reputation after his murder?” the Dar al-Fatwa asked in its statement.
Describing the sheikh as an “honorable Ulema,” it said: “We won’t allow anyone to insult him and slander him particularly after his killing and martyrdom (in an attempt) to picture him as corrupt Ulema.”

Dar al Fatwa should apologise to Lebanon for siding with the Ottomans, then King Abdalla, then Jamal Abdel Nasser, then the PLO, then Haffez al Assad and now to being USA/Israel doormats.
Anyone but Lebanon

Don't get surprised this low moral grandy asked before to dig up late Hariri from his grave and burry him somewhere else, after all he got issues and he is execused

Not a bad idea, they should send the whole hariri family back to saudi arabia where they came from.
No wait! even saudi arabia is fabricated, I should say Najd and Hijaz.

Only in Lebanon do Christians support the release of Fatah al Islam terrorists but support those who want to arrest Lebanese soldiers for performing their duties. Bravo... once tools always tools.

"Aoun should apologize for publicly insulting Muslims". so if you accuse a muslim of having alcohol, you insult all muslims? so there are no muslims that drink alcohol?
I agree that aoun's accusation is stupit, but to overreact like this is only encouraging more sectarian division.

ado.australia you mean overreact like the thugs of the iranian islamic militia attacking mono street after lbc's basmat watan nasrallah sketch

He is not accusing any Muslim he is accusing a devout Muslim sheikh.
Saying such an accusation without a proof is insult to all Muslims where he is basically saying you are all hypocrites.

Anyone who ever read my posts knows that I am no fan of Aoun, quiet the opposite so keep that in mind as you read the rest of this post.
This business of asking anyone for an apology when they say something - no matter how stupid, insulting etc. - should stop as it does not jive with democracy.
Stupid or not, Aoun has the right to express his opinion and we have the right to criticize him - and we do - anytime he opens his mouth and spouts nonsense. But to drive the point home, forgo this silly notion of demanding apology for any slander. When the Dar Al Fatwa puts it in the "against Sunni" square they are doing the same thing that Aoun does, being sectarian. He insulted a Lebanese period and some Lebanese do and will insult him, end of discussion.

He insulted a devout Muslim sheikh it is intended as sectarian attack and nothing wrong with dar al-fatwa demand apology where the sheikh is one of its members.
I am very sure they can sue him under the anti-slander law in Lebanon.

It should matter not who he insulted. Are you suggesting that a regular Joe is less valuable than a Sheikh? If you are, then we do not see eye to eye on this.
Freedom of speech, even stupid speech, should be guaranteed to ALL Lebanese, Aoun included. Besides, he said that he was told that ... This is not prosecutable and if it is it should not be.

All countries on this planet has military courts and police. They all have them because the armed forces are human also and they break the law.
No one have cart blanche to kill. All are accountable under the law.

Michel Aoun (no 'general' for war criminals) is one sick man. He should return to his Paris psychiatric clinic ASAP because he's got a bunch of sheep believing in his dillusions. Scary!

if the facts are true then there is no reason why they cannot be discussed. It is part of a democracy where transparency is key. Sure it may insult the late cleric but if it is true what's the problem? Enough of this smoke and mirrors BS lebanon is famous for.
PS.. I still don't like Aoun but happy to call a spade a spade in this instance :)

Shame on you for spouting such nonsense. I could enumerate many silly things about our Christian faith but I won't because religion should be a private matter my and your opinions notwithstanding. You are no Christian brother of mine.
