Qabbani: Divisions Will Drag Lebanon towards Sectarian Conflicts
Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani noted on Sunday that Lebanon is passing through a very dangerous and critical phase.
He warned: “Divisions among the Lebanese will pave the way to dragging them towards sectarian conflicts.”
He made his remarks on the occasion of the Prophet Mohammed's birthday, which falls on Monday.
“The wise and reasonable people among us must realize the sensitivity of the situation in Lebanon because maintaining the country's stability and security is everyone's responsibility,” stressed Qabbani.
Furthermore, he said that any action that does not enjoy the consensus of all powers will lead to fragmentation and division among the people.
“The people's unity is crucial in deciding their fate and they should steer clear of statements that incite division,” added the mufti.
He hoped that political powers will succeed in forming a government that will revitalize state institutions.
