Shahhal Says Might Issue Jihad Fatwa against 'Sunni Attackers', Calls Army to 'Correct Path'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Salafist cleric Dai al-Islam al-Shahhal called on the army on Saturday to “correct its performance”, threatening to issue a fatwa that calls for jihad against those “slandering Sunnis”.

“We urge the army to change its path to preserve the country' security,” al-Shahhal said in a press conference during which he commented on Friday's incident in the Bekaa town of Majdal Anjar.

He asked: “Are the army’s statements an execution of Iranian and Syrian orders?”

Al-Shahhal stated that “Sunnis are the targeted sect behind the deaths of men in northern Lebanon and border towns”.

Several roads were blocked in the northern city of Tripoli on Friday in protest at a dispute that erupted between army troops and the bodyguards of al-Shahhal in Majdal Anjar.

“If nothing changes, I might issue a Fatwa calling for jihad against the attackers of the Sunni sect,” he warned.

Commenting on the situation of the neighboring country and its repercussions on Lebanon, the Salafist cleric warned that “Hizbullah's continuous suppression of the Syrian revolution might lead to a civil war in Lebanon”.

“Its support to the criminal regime of President Bashar Assad might have severe consequences on Lebanon,” he noted.

He called on the cabinet not to take a “double-standard in respect to the Syrian issue by penalizing some acts while giving the right of interference to other factions”.

“The government, which is under the control of Hizbullah, should stop the party from targeting Syrians in their country and in Lebanon,” he stated.

Sunni fatwa, Shiite fatwa enough with this none sense already. You are dragging the country into the abyss with this religious edict stuff. When will Sunni and Shiite masses see these edicts - fatwas - for what they really are namely the tools for men like Shahhal and Nasrallah to control the minds of their followers. Use your brains people please and don't give me the argument that the Sunnis of Lebanon are the targeted sect and that's why. Most Sunnis know that Iran and HA are targeting them but you don't see them acting like thugs. Only a small minority is giving the Sunnis a bad name.

He added that, if God had intended for people to live by majority rule, he and his followers would have been created as Shias.

the rise of such extremists is the direct result of pushing away moderate sunnis and attacking them.
people start listening to such extremist language when then feel threatened in their existence.
now the questions is as follows:
we are going towards civil war if the behavior of hizbushaitan and their fpm allies remains as is, is this what we want for Lebanon?
it is about time everyone realizes that extremism begets extremism, and both are bad for us Lebanese.
hizbushaitan should relinquish its weapons and put them under the direct control of the state, and stop usurping the sunnis representation so that such extremists have no say anymore, otherwise......

If anyone comes close to our weapons IF assad falls we will burn ALL of lebanon before you & your geagea puppets can touch our weapons, there will be NO more opposition.

Lebanon takes second place to our goals, the shia empire will run from Iran to Lebanon then eventually Saudi Arabia will be ours

Thumb bananasplit 02 March 2013, 20:58

You will burn all of Lebanon? Really? Seriously - just listen to what you are saying...you will really support the total collapse of the country just to maintain your military (illegitimate) supremacy? Is this the type of nationalism that you want us to believe in?

Thumb bananasplit 02 March 2013, 21:01

I think we should have a "Fatwa Day" where everyone can just issue their own Fatwas and a competition could be held for the most original or ridiculous fatwa. Maybe we can even have a category for the most useful fatwa -e.g. a fatwa against anyone who slanders the environment by throwing trash out the car window.

Thumb bananasplit 02 March 2013, 21:03

I'd personally like to issue a fatwa against men with disgusting beards. Or to avoid it being sexist it could also apply to women with disgusting beards.

banana. i like the concept of fatwa day. I mean why does that yahoo get to issue fatwas and not me or you. I actually love this fatwa thing. And hey, you only live once, so I will quit my day time job, make cheikh, hire body guards with weapons get paid from qatar, and issue fatwas. That would be great for the country.

A fatwa is based on shariah law and only the one who has this knowledge is in a position to give a verdict. You can't do brain surgery without the proper knowledge.

The enemies of Lebanon are achieving their goals. Push out the moderate and let the extremist in. They can safeguard their interests in the chaos.

Great , fatwas all over, send the army destroy those crazy people. Enough with nonesense and stupidities . Lebanon is not a battle ground for anyone. Get back to your hole and stop issuing fatwas im not with hezbollah at all, but stop provoking them. They are much stronger than you and they will burn you to the ground. so be reasonnable and do like Asir , take some pictures with an Ak-47 and make us laugh a bit...

It's probably you smearing yourself Karim. Nice to try and sway people with an imposter of you. It's very interesting when you look at the names of the HA supporters here. You got a pro-Hezb Omar, a Bruce Lee, a Josh and few other 'western' names, and an alien named stargate. If we are going to talk about imposters or multiple accounts, let's talk about them all.
