Grand Mufti Warns Against Interference in 'Others' Affairs'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةGrand Mufti of the Republic Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan stressed on Wednesday Lebanon's need to adhere to its dissociation policy stressing that Lebanon stands behind its premier Saad Hariri after his decision to suspend his resignation pending talks.
Lebanon “urgently needs complete commitment to the dissociation policy to deter harm and preserve the country's internal stability,” said Daryan in a televised address marking the Prophet Mohammed birthday.
“We have been through a worrying crisis when PM Hariri resigned, but we support his every move. The Lebanese are united around him today,” he added.
Stressing the need for distancing Lebanon from the regional crises, the Mufti sad: “We need a safe, stable and united Lebanon that distances itself from the surrounding crises. Beware of involvement in the crises of others.”
Pointing to President Michel Aoun's consultations with political parties, Daryan expressed hopes the talks turn productive “to distance the reasons that prompted Hariri to resign.”
Thank God Lebanon has a history of Grand Muftis that are honorable and patriotic! When was the last Lebanese Grand Mufti, that the extremist commentators on this site, liked or supported?
The biggest problem is the idea that Lebanese are Arabs... How are we Arabs? How, apart from the written language are we Arab or have similar culture to the Gulf Arabs? Do we dress the same? Do we speak the same? Do we behave the same? Do we eat the same food? How are Lebanese the same as Gulf Arabs?
