Pillars of Authority and Minority Alliance Leaders in Lebanon
Ignore Abu Fadel’s Racist and Seditious Comments
(Translated)

As typical for the authorities in Lebanon, in adopting double standards towards the people of the country, not a single minister or head of any party commented, and none of them condemned the remarks of the named Joseph Abu Fadel, who said during the “Opposite Direction” talk show on the Qatari Al Jazeera satellite channel on Tuesday, “We Christians, together with Europe, America, Mr. Hassan and Bashar al-Assad, will destroy it over your heads, O you Muslims, and we shall redeem Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Iraq and Istanbul which you conquered by sword and we will not leave you to relish in them.”

The successive epochs in Lebanon have always deceived people by the “Co-existence” lie, and that it equates citizens in rights and duties, and the balance in taking political and administrative decisions. The fact is that, these allegations have always been violated in favor of the powerful and privileged. However, these violations worsened after the outbreak of the blessed ash-Sham revolution, after Muslims resolved to restore their identity and their plundered authority and after the calls for the Khilafah Rashidah project soared, thus, the political practice in Lebanon lost what it used to maintain of balance:

We present you with a few incidents:

First: the decision to close the border exclusively in the face of Muslims of the displaced Syrians who are fleeing the terror of the Baath regime, while allowing non-Muslims to cross them.

Second: the issuance of a racist close-mindedness minority decision for school closures on 24th April on the anniversary of the so-called Armenian Genocide.
Third: condoning the atrocities committed against the Islamist prisoners in Roumieh Prison, which are comparable to what Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons were renowned.

And now comes the silence of all the rulers and leaders of Lebanon about the remarks of this racist, which undermine all Muslims, while referring people to military courts on charges of stirring sectarian strife because they objected to a political stance taken by a Christian religious leader.

The silence of the entire government and with all its ministers about those flagrant and serious violations that hit the Charter of their hybrid entity confirms a decision of subjecting Muslims to the domination of the minorities. So what an insane decision is this?!

We assure you, O the heedless, that those who you oppress them today Allah (swt) will confer favor upon them tomorrow and He will make them inheritors. And soon you will see with your own eyes Allah’s (swt) promise to them, so do not blacken your pages with them, as they were the most truthful to you for centuries:

وَنُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ
“And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors.” ]Al-Qasas: 5[
