Army Refuses to Settle in Shaker's Case, Urges him to Surrender
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The army refuses to engage in a settlement regarding former singer turned Islamist militant Fadel Shaker, who is compelled to surrender to the military intelligence.
The army said in a communique issued on Thursday that “media reports circulating concerning a settlement with the military in the case of Fadel Shmandur, who is known as Fadel Shaker, are false.”
“We are not concerned with these kinds of settlements... the only way to resolve the case is by his initiative to hand himself over to the army or security forces in order to be referred to the judiciary for trial,” the military command said in a statement.
It added: “The army will not bargain on the blood of its martyrs of citizens under any condition and justice will not be wasted.”
On Wednesday, conflicting reports emerged to the surface on whether Shaker handed himself over to the army intelligence or not. The reports have yet to be confirmed.
A high-ranking military source said in comments published in al-Joumhouria newspaper earlier on Thursday that the “army didn't and will make settlements regarding the case of fugitive Shaker.”
The source stressed “that anyone who opened fire at soldiers will be arrested no matter what his social rank is or power... everyone is under surveillance.”
Shaker has been on the run for nearly two years. He is hiding in a home he recently bought in the southern Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh, his birthplace, according to witnesses who recently met him.
In an interview with LBCI released over the weekend, Shaker denied fighting alongside Salafist cleric Ahmed al-Asir's gunmen in the fierce 2013 clashes with the army in the Sidon suburb of Abra. At least 18 soldiers and dozens of gunmen were killed in the gunbattles.
Though he grew to become one of the Arab world's most famous singers, Shaker suffered through a miserable childhood of poverty, which a onetime musician friend says helped lead him down a dark path later in life.
Now in his mid-forties, Shaker was born to a Palestinian mother and Lebanese father.
Born Fadel Shmandur, he began his career as a popular wedding singer who performed from the rooftops of the camp, an over-crowded and hopeless place.
In his prime, Shaker sang love songs that were instant region-wide hits. He released his first album in the late nineties, and continued to perform until 2011.

he is not better than any other person: if he is guilty of something then he should be judged.

Judged and punished in accordance with the severity of his crimes. This man has committed major crimes against the state, against the army, he has killed our soldiers and injured others as well, he was part of a group of takfiri terrorists who aimed to destabilize Lebanon. If they had it their way, then parts of Lebanon would be under IS and Al Nusra rule, in a God=forsaken area where even Muslims will be denied their rights, let alone Christians. Once done they would have gone further to impose their will on the rest of our land, in exactly the same fashion as they did in Iraq and Syria. I say, hang him and stop wasting our time and our money, this evil person is not above our laws, just hang him.

When you can debate like a grown up, I might entertaining you with a reply...until then you're on the irrelevant list.
Comments like your hezbos etc are for children.
Now either post as an adult or forget any further discussions.

You've been away for a while, then kaboom, back onto the scene, angry, judgmental, aggressive, as always trying to tell everyone how to talk and how not to talk, Roar almighty, Roar all knowing, Roar the lecturer, Roar the teacher, Roar the privileged daughter of the caporal Aoun, ... yeah, yeah, I know the answer long before you press that keyboard again. In all honesty ka beyk, leyshak heyk 3ala toul m2afshe ma3ak? Rou2 ya habibi rou2, ma fi shi 7erzen ka dineh, ma fi shi, khod il 7ayat bil da7keh, bass rou2 ka dineh.

So this is what you're reduced to, constantly calling me old man, now you've added the grumpy to it. Now why if I may ask you so prematurely judge, why, because I said that I was a fighter in the LF, so this is it, I am an old grumpy man. You see, it just proves that you're shortsighted, angry, angry, you're boiling right now and the more you're angry, the less you make sense. Ya binit, look at how other posters slug it out with you. You're getting regularly disgraced, ridiculed, mocked, but you're numb to that, normal for people like you. Roar, your problem is that you're suffering from TUNNEL VISION, and truly speaking we can't do much for you. The best place is for you to book a place at Deyr El Salib, next to your old man Aoun, and please STOP lying about you living in Australia, you live right here in Lebanon.

ya Roar, you replied to Tx and I quote "When you can debate like a grown up, I might entertaining you with a reply...until then you're on the irrelevant list." unquote. So you want to debate with grown ups yet refuse older people to expose your lies, now you're a nut case in point. Quite frankly almost anyone here has added you to their irrelevant list, haven't you noticed how many times they belittle you? Por soul, truly misguided, and thinking that people here are buying your sorry story about residing in Aussie, 3an jad stop lying, for your own sake. You're boring ya binit.

move along old timer..your relevance passed many moons ago.
Go check how that voting went that you were so confident you would win.
I noticed you received zero votes.
another deluded thought by you.
Old man syndrome maybe?

Roar, focus on how you keep getting insulted as opposed to the lack of it with me. Focus on how we have discovered about your lies, that you do not live in Australia but here in Beirut. People here are playing with you, they don't take you too seriously, and neither do I these days, especially after you let your cloak down, mostly people are perfectly happy mocking you, but you're numb to insults, you're like a kid really, just mirroring back at us what we're accusing you of. Anyway, the bad news for you is that I am around, will stay around and will continue to peck you on the nose for as long as you continue being silly and devoid of intelligence. Now change your roles from being a parrot and start with stopping your lies.

What you believe is irrelevant...you think your relevant old man..but time has passed you, just as common sense did.
You charged like a bull putting a vote out there to see how many supported your on here, thinking you actually have some relevance.

time to retire old man.. use by date was many moons ago.

Mr Shmandur ( shaker ) you want to skip a trial and get straight to a judgement ? Surely not ! If you are innocent bring your evidence and present it in court and if you are innocent you will be set free and if your not then you will be punished accordingly no ifs or buts you are accused of killing invaluble lebanese soldiers there is no way you will be not held accountable .

About the vote y Roar, you know the game don't you? There are times when pro M8 posters just thumb down massively, hence the regular tendencies, now M8 votes now M14, this thread is not so perfect as the Orange Room you see? So for simple minds like you, that should put things straight. Now, again, call me or call people whatever you want, but it won't change the fact that you are a liar par excellence, if you look at my posts of past, even when we were in good terms, I even chided you and belittled you about your claimed living in Aussie, remember the beer drinks yet you never noticed did you? Now that we're no longer friends, I must tell you, please, stop lying, that's all, stop parroting us, just try if you can to focus on the threads instead of trying to derail them. In the Orange Room, you don't do these silly things, why do you do them here then? Come on my boy, just the lies, drop them, OK?

Again ya Roar, I told you, and stop trying to ignore this, not long ago, M8 was in preponderance, so if you don't mind, give me the voting results. Now I can see that you're getting nasty to the point where you are just an inch from slurs again, now why is that? because I am now beginning to expose you? because you and your friends from the Orange Room have agreed to flood this forum with your nonsensical posts of aggression? because now I am telling it here in public that you lied about where you live? It seems that you have a problem ya Roar, it's called lying. You can continue calling me what you want, but what I know that in Australia people with real lives and with jobs have long gone to bed. One of your lies exposed.

You forgot the poll you ran? no one ran it but you old man.
surely you haven't forgotten...oh well its either you can't accept not one person thought you were relevant or maybe your old age is truly inhibiting your memory.
either way..have a lay down old man..your delusions of orange rooms & bananas are starting to describe your mental state.

Short of any valid argument you ya Roar resort to name calling, just like your friend Aoun. Now, please stop evading my questions, stop dodging, stop creating stories, you can call me whatever you wish, it won't change a thing. Your yellow friends or masters can barge in support for you as much as they want, it won't change anything, now, answer my questions: Why do you behave here in Naharnet differently from your membership in the FPM's Orange Room? Why have you and your friends yellow and orange agreed to flood this forum with your rubbish, intentional rubbish? And the big one, now in Aussie it's well past the hour and into the wee morning ones, why are you still awake? Truth is that your lying, dodging and twisting my words. Now, I cannot control your tongue, it's yours, name calling won't make me desist from asking you these troubling questions. You can laugh till you fall, won't matter to me, just answer and stop being a LIAR.
