Aoun Again Denies Insulting Sunnis, Says Political Life Proof of his Good Ties with Muslims
Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun denied on Saturday that he had insulted Sunnis, saying his political life was proof of his good ties with all Muslims.
A statement released by his press office, said that after the FPM chief denied reports about his alleged insult of the Sunni sect, the campaign by some clerics against the lawmaker continued.
The statement reiterated that all reports are untrue and “Aoun’s life at all stages is proof of his ties with all Muslims.”
According to WikiLeaks cables, Aoun has called Sunnis “terrorists” and said the “Maronite-Shiite alliance is the best way to confront the local and foreign Sunni threat.”
