The army on Sunday arrested a man who opened fire on the Sidon predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Haret Saida, as anti-Hizbullah Islamist cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir denied that the detainee is one of his supporters.
Earlier on Sunday, MTV said "army intelligence agents arrested al-Asir's supporter Hilal Zeidan for opening fire on the Haret Saida neighborhood."
State-run National News Agency later said army intelligence agents arrested "a man identified as H. Z. for opening fire with a hunting rifle on the Haret Saida area," without elaborating on his affiliation.
Al-Asir's office issued a statement clarifying that “the protests he is staging across Lebanon are popular protests that are open for everybody's participation and he cannot prevent anyone from taking part in them, and the presence of any person among the public does not turn him into a loyal and close supporter of the cleric.”
“Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir disavows such acts of violating security and inciting strife and calls on security authorities to strike anyone who performs or incites such acts with an iron fist,” the statement added.
The army has been imposing strict security measures around Asir's Bilal bin Rabah Mosque in the Sidon suburb of Abra, after the Islamist cleric staged several demos to protest claims that Hizbullah gunmen are residing in two apartments near the mosque.

Asir and his followers are a tool of an extended arm of Muslim fanatics that should all be sent to either north or south pole to cool themselves off for a period to reflect on the true teachings of the Koran, as matter of any fanatic from any religious background should also be sent there, they will all then learn to work with each other in order to survive the bitter cold. Then they will learn its not worth to be hot heads but to respect each others' values as human beings and get along to solves problems peacefully.

Take all the fanatical and radical Muslims to the north pole. It should be the role of interpol. Leave them there for a year. When brought back to society then they would have climitised, maybe then they would appreciate humanity as is no matter what religious background or culture they would then accept Allah for his creation of us and nature instead of beheading human being as animals. Tfee aloukoum all you fanatics, shame on you all in hell you all belong as well as your snakes head that leads you, ( wake up) ....

What are you laughing at exactly? If you hate the beard so much then don't call yourself a muslim because not only did the prophet (saw) have a beard but he told the muslim men to grow one as well. If you make fun of it then you are no better than the sofaha2 from the non-muslims who make fun of islam and muslims. Shame on you.

Shave only half of his beard, then take him downtown and put him on display- the old traditional way of humiliation or humility!
