Aoun Says Current Period Reminiscent of 1975, Warns to Use Arms against 'Takfiris'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Thursday warned that Lebanon is going through a period that is reminiscent of 1975, which witnessed the beginning of the country's 15-year-long civil war, but reassured that politicians have enough awareness to prevent a similar conflict.
“This period is very reminiscent of the 1975 period. The state is dissociating itself amid attacks on the army, but thanks God there is political awareness,” Aoun said.
“You are observing the scene in which some Takfiris (extremist Islamists) are operating, but we are containing the situation because we are strong. We are strong if they want us to resort to weapons, and we are strong in politics and strong through our rights,” Aoun added, addressing his supporters.
Turning to the issue of the electoral law, Aoun stressed: “No one will rob us of our rights anymore and we will regain our full rights.”
He accused al-Mustaqbal Movement and the Progressive Socialist Party of rejecting the Orthodox Gathering's draft law, under which each sect would elect its own MPs, “because they don't want any agreement in Lebanon, and this truly jeopardizes the Lebanese entity.”
“We will not allow any security or constitutional violations,” Aoun vowed.
“Only the Taef Accord stipulations that grant power to non-Christians were implemented, but Christian positions in power were robbed,” he added.
“There are no bribes in our pockets and no treason in our heads and there are no assassination crimes on our conscience. We are raising our heads up high, confronting and struggling,” Aoun went on to say.

why are all pro assad brown noses singing in unison from the same security treat hymn book?
“Only the Taef Accord stipulations that grant power to non-Christians were implemented, but Christian positions in power were robbed”
who robbed the Christians?
Syrian lackey Sleiman Frangieh was the only person to figure in every cabinet from 1990 to 2005
Ibrahim Abass, he holds a position that was traditionally Christian robbed and given to Shiites during the Syrian occupation but Aoun again failed to take it back after 7 years of screaming bloody hell and promising he will.
Two presidents appointed and their terms extended by Hafez and Bashar Assad
talk is cheap you senile coward and is the only thing you are good at other than starting war to become president and running away and deserting with the millions you were supposed to pay your soldiers with.
PS: Brucie my girl zip it the only thing you are good for is being barefoot and pregnent

Can someone please explain to me how can the "proportional distribution with lebanon 1 district" allows the christians to elect 50% of the parliament when they only represent 34% of the population?
Is this guy making fun of our intelligence?

aoun and hizbushaitan have no other alternative:
either they keep power or they will go through a civil war.
all the fpm comments have been going in that direction for a while now, just considering the attacks of aoun on sunnis to push a whole community to radicalize.

Hizaballa needs to surrender its weapons, and no civil war will occur. Is it that hard to understand?

Less than 20 MPs total would be elected by Christians with a proportional distribution with lebanon 1 district law that Nasrallah favors and Aoun is threatening with. The "Orthodox" the law is based on a proportional distribution with lebanon 1 district with the sects vote for their own except the sects such as the Jews for instance who are not represented in parliament who can vote for whoever they wish. If you are Maronite living in Kesewan and your Mom is Catholic she can't vote for you but she can vote for a Catholic in Zahle, true representation they call it. I said it over a year ago that the only thing that Nasarallah wanted is proportional distribution with lebanon 1 district where their overwhelming birthrate is king and suckered the Christian parties of M14 via Aoun's rhetoric to go with the Orthodox plan.... continue

... When the Kataeb and LF realized the plot and tried to proposed that same Orthodox plan but with a majority vote which also have Christians elect their 64 MPs Hezbollah naturally flatly refused with not even a peep from Aoun, obviously it was never fair representation for Christians they cared for but proportional representation in 1 district. Ironically they can't get enough vote for the Orthodox plan not without Hezballah and Amal's Baathist, SSNPers and their other peripheral MPs, Salhab and others from Aoun's block and a couple of LFers already said they will not vote for it! On top of that every Sunni from Harriri and Saniora, Mikati, Safadi, the three Karame, AR Mourad, Osama Saad, are against it, the only Sunni to come for it so far was Omar Bakri who Nasrallah sprung from Jail.

hamoody, the mujahedeen you are calling upon to hunt him down are the Sunni version of Hezb. You can not demand the Shiites to have Hezb if that is who you support for Sunnis. I wish Lebanon to be rid of takfiris, Hezb, mujahgedeen, and similar titles so it can restore the glory Lebanon once had. We should pray for the rise of the moderate, educated, patriotic, and secular people of Lebanon and suppress extremists of all colors and sects.

Actually it is shia who are constantly saying they have the highest numbers :) your allies.
it is the shia who are refusing the expat votes:) your allies.
actually and according to the previous election numbers:
- 37& Christians
- Sunnis outnumbered shia by over 50,000.
Sunnis have always supported the Christians, while your shia allies want to divide in three the representation.
so what are you saying?

what is going on in other countries should have been a lesson for us so that it does not happen here.
as explained above, we have the chance of the current firm positions of the sunni community towards the Christians in Lebanon, and what are aoun and hizbushaitan doing? they are radicalizing them by their constant attacks and marginalization.
if the sunnis turn into radicals in Lebanon, and already the shia are radicalized, how long do you expect we (as Christians) will last in Lebanon?
I believe in Lebanon first versus radicals.

No one should say that all Sunnis are takfiris or all Shia are Hizbees or all Christians are this or that....generalization is WRONG...

those idiotic FPMers who ally with a party they labeled as terrorist for years and defend a regime they always treated as terrorist too only deserve contempt because they have no dignity whatsoever and are insulting the memories of the aounis tortured or killed by their present allies.....

i dont get it. is aoun sad because when he decided to join the syria's friends party everyone left and he was there all alone?
isnt that what he always wanted, for the lebanese politicians to stop taking orders from syria? and then when they do but he starts doing it, it becomes the right thing to do...
aoun is a self righteous prick
