الراعي يجدد مطالبته بانتخاب رئيس: لوضع حد للجماعات التكفيرية
Read this story in English
جدد البطريريك الماروني الكاردينال مار بشارة بطرس الراعي تأكيده ان النواب خالفوا الدستور بشكل كبير بعدم انتخاب رئيس جديد للجمهورية، مطالباً من جهة أخرى بوجوب وضع حد لممارسات الجماعات التكفيرية.
وفي عظة قداس الاحد، رأى الراعي ان "الاستكبار والانقسام السياسي والمذهبي والارتهان أدوا إلى مخالفة كبيرة للدستور بعدم انتخاب رئيس للجمهورية".
وقال: "لعل نواب الأمة لا يدركون أن رئيس الدولة رمز لوحدة الوطن. ولعلهم لا يريدون رئيسا من أجل التمادي في نشر الفوضى وتغطية الفساد".
وشدد على ان "لا أحد أكبر من الدولة ولا أحد أهم من رئاسة الجمهورية وأمامها وامام مصلحة البلد تسقط كل الاعتبارات الشخصية والفئوية".
ودخل لبنان في مرحلة الفراغ الرئاسي في 24 آب الفائت، مع انتهاء ولاية الرئيس السابق ميشال سليمان ورفضه تمديد ولايته وفشل النواب في الاتفاق على رئيس جديد.
اما وفي ملف العسكريين المختطفين لدى الجماعات الارهابية، فشدد الراعي على وجوب "وضع حد لممارسات هذه الجماعات التكفيرية اللاانسانية".
وخلال معركة عرسال بين الجيش اللبناني وجماعة "داعش" وتنظيم "جبهة النصرة" الارهابيين مطلع آب الفائت، أسر عناصر من الجيش ومن قوى الامن الداخلي.
وقام داعش بقطع رأس اثنين من الجيش، في حين قامت النصرة بقتل عنصر بالرصاص، وسط مناشدات ومطالبات العسكريين لأهاليهم بالتحرك للافراج عنهم، في حين ان المعلومات الصحافية تفيد بمطالبة الخاطفين بالافراج عن سجناء في رومية لإطلاق سراح العسكريين.

“No one is more important than the presidency,” he stressed.
That is NOT true. Nassrallah is

no he is another all knowing troll who thinks he was given the right to preach virtue

It is not possible to ban by IP address because all ISVPs employ a dynamic "leased" IP that changes periodically. Only so called "static IPs" can be banned by IP address.
However, Naharnet can - if it chooses to - employ one of two methods or both as follows:
1- Allow only ASCI/ANSI characters except for [a-z A-Z] in the user name which preclude the use of email address as a user name
2- Employ regular Expression filtering - RegEx in IT parlance - to filter out any banned user name
Even the above are not fool proof though more effective than the current methodology employed.
That said, I for one do not support censorship of any kind as it is usually counter productive except in very extreme situations.

If the majority of Lebanese are Shias and they all give their vote to Hezbullah, Nassrallah is the President, or prime minister, or both.
al Rahi is pictured reading the lesson from Acts of the Apostles, where two skeptics asked Paul and Peter which was more important, love or equality. Paul answered, "Love is the assumption underlying equality," and Peter answered, "Equality is the assumption underlying love."

Too bad that HA is the anti-thesis of Paul and Peter as they are not about love or equality. More like ISIS and Nusra.

Chris as a US soldier you collaborated with the iranian operatives against you brothers in arms, now you come here shoot your mouth off about something you know nothing about.
The claim that shiite are the majority is a lie, not supported by any facts, perperated bybthe iranian mercenaries party so they can create the islamic republic they dream about.

Christian hegemony is usurping Shi3a rights as chrisrushlau said. That is why General Aoun and Sayyed Hassan want elections from the people so Shi3as would have a voice.

The lawyers that wrote this constitution must be poor lawyers. Since when do we let foreign bought local politicians manipulate the constitution and the country?
For those who think that Nassrallah is more important than the constitution, please take him and go join whoever is funding him for ALL the mischief he is causing.

Maybe they don't want a president so that they continue to spread chaos and cover up for corruption,” he said ............ unless the one to be elected president is from their league and part of the chaos and corruption.
If any person refuses to show up for work they get fired. Likewise, any PM who boycotts Presidential election sessions should be fired and jailed. I do not care which camp this PM belonged to (14, 8, Iran, KSA).

Do you think the Gaegae has more votes than the Aoun? Is that why the Aaoun is afraid of nominating the himself? I am sure the M8 has the majority since the most Lebanese would rather have the interest of Assad Syria and Iran over the interest of the Lebanon, because these two have the best interest of the christhians in Levant.

Whenever flamytick is on a break most of the M8 groupies are on a break as well. but the moment he's back they are back as well.

“Maybe they don't want a president so that they continue to spread chaos and cover up for corruption”

Why don't you go and pay Baghdaddy a visit? I'm sure he's missing his favourite fluffer.

What Lebanon needs is an application of 1701 supporting a military government to impose peace by force.
