Huthi Spiritual Leader Buried in Beirut's Southern Suburbs
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The alleged spiritual leader of Shiite Huthi rebels in Yemen has been reportedly buried in Hizbullah's stronghold of Beirut's southern suburbs.
Sheikh Abdul Malek al-Shami was laid to rest on Monday near the grave of Hizbullah's military commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a 2008 car bomb blast in the Syrian capital Damascus.
The reports said that al-Shami had written in his will that he wanted to be buried near Mughniyeh.
His funeral took place amid a total media blackout, they said.
Al-Shami died in the Iranian capital after he was transferred from Yemen to a hospital in Tehran to be treated for injuries he sustained in a bomb blast.
His body was later sent to Lebanon for burial in Beirut's southern suburbs.
Hizbullah denied on Saturday media reports that any of its members had been killed in Yemen.
A months-long rebellion by the Huthi fighters in Yemen escalated into a regional conflict last month, when the coalition led by Saudi Arabia began conducting air strikes on rebel-held territory.
Last month, a Gulf diplomatic official said that according to estimates, there are 5,000 Iranians, Hizbullah and Iraqi militia on the ground in Yemen.
Hizbullah officials have been directing a barrage of criticism at Saudi Arabia, accusing the kingdom of committing genocide with its campaign targeting the rebels.

If this repport is true it shows once again how hezbos donnot care about lebanon, how they are readdy to drag us more into this retarded fanatic war, how they have no conciseration what so ever for their fellow lebanese, now they want to stage a marche pro huthies and we have to wait for nosseallah friday speach to have an idea of what is waitting for us...
Bunch of retarded fanatics, and u'll still find some "imdependant patriotic and secular" people backing their stance...

قال المحلل السياسي القريب من “حزب الله” فيصل عبد الساتر, الذي يعرف عن نفسه بأنه صديق شخصي للشامي, انه “بناء على وصية الأخير بأن يدفن في روضة الشهداء إذا وافته المنية, وبعد وفاته في طهران حيث نقل للعلاج, استجاب “حزب الله” للأمر وكان له ما أراد”. واضاف ان الشامي “شيخ معمم ويعمل كأستاذ في الحوزة الدينية في بيروت, وكان أخيرا المبعوث الخاص لزعيم حركة انصار الله عبد الملك الحوثي الى لبنان وسورية, بعدما كان طيلة سنوات طويلة الممثل الشخصي لوالده حسين بدر الدين الحوثي في البلدين”
The truth is an alien word to mowaten irani, the mouthpiece of the sectarian terror party.

Land of shame indeed. We Christians are just a bunch of weaklings who allow their fate to be determined by a terrorist religious militia. We have taken our faith's message of love so literally that we became doormats to others. Shame. Shame. Shame.

14 April 2015, 10:58

I don't "decide" anything, I notice liars and shills from the comments they leave.
Phil is systematically defending israel before and above anything, even when they harass and persecute Palestinian Christians, so it's pretty clear what he really is. He only pretends to be lebanese and christian in an attempt to manipulate opinions here.

what a shameful comment, mowaten. The arrogance that you portray is quite deplorable. Anyway, there are moslem, christian, druze, and jewish Israelis.

lol shameful? why? because it touches your fellow propaganda shill? zahhet you and your 40 accounts, you don't know the meaning of the word shame.

libtard american, it amuses me to see how you called Lebanon the land of shame, I thought the M14 movement claimed to be nationalists no?
Yet you write the rest of us, are non-lebanese etc. While you yourselves just spat directly on Lebanons honor by calling it a shameful country.

Shameful! As a normal citizen, I want to ask Abbas Ibrahim how is it possible to allow a non-lebanese dead body to be imported and buried in Lebanon and so so quickly. I know lebanese people who lost loved ones abroad and had to go through hell to get the "body" of the deceased back into lebanon. The paperwork was a nightmare just to get the body on a plane!!!! Who is this terrorist to be allowed to be buried in Lebanon?!

despite the Syrian army's might including their air force, chemical weapons and barrel bombs, Iran's might ,Russia and your sectarian militia and not to mention the Iraqi and Afghani sectarian volunteers, all you worthless huthis combined haven't been able to deal with an unorganized and barely armed force of a few thousands, Yemen will in no way remain part the Iranian crescent and Syria is just a matter of time.

Speaking of 2006, what did your Iranian militia accomplish? the destruction of Lebanon, 1500 killed , destroyed economy, tell me you ignorant, and to top it off you bite the hand that fed you and rebuilt Dahye and the the south, yes that's right I'm talking about the Qataries and the Saudies you ungrateful thing.

Any lebanese christian muslim non believer should be against this armed sectarian millicia under the comand of fanatic senile khomaiini... It's not a matter of what is ur religion it's a matter of just being lebanese...

You are right. But how can a Christian supports someone who is destroying the christians...
One Christian supporting the Caporal is too many!

زارت الصحافية الإسرائيلية أورلي أزولاي رئيسة مكتب #واشنطن لصحيفة يديعوت أحرونوت عدة مدن إيرانية لمدة أسبوعين، مما اضطر وزير الإرشاد والثقافة الإيراني للرد واتخاذ موقف بهذا الشأن إثر الضجة التي أثارتها هذه الزيارة متهما الصحافية بـ "الغش".
وكان الموقع الإلكتروني لصحيفة #يديعوت_أحرونوت ذكر في 31 مارس، أن تلك هي المرة الأولى التي تزور فيها صحافية إسرائيلية #إيران ، التي وصفتها بـ "بلد الألف آية الله" حسب موقع رام الأردني.
وأفادت الصحيفة الإسرائيلية أن أزولاي أجرت عدة لقاءات مع مواطنين إيرانيين، وقالت إنها "تغلبت على مخاوفها ودهشت حين وجدت شبانا إيرانيين يتوقون لزيارة الولايات المتحدة ويحبون إسرائيل".
وقدمت يديعوت أحرونوت شرحا عن زيارة أورلي أزولاي لإيران نقلا عنها، قائلة إنها "قضت 14 يوما متنقلة بين المدن الإيرانية طولا وعرضا، ووجدت مواطنين مفعمين بالأمل بأن يتم التوصل إلى اتفاق يرفع العقوبات عن كاهلهم المُثقل"، لافتة إلى "لحظات التشاؤم والتفاؤل التي مرت بها، خاصة حين تحدثت مع شبان إيرانيين، واكتشفت مدى حبهم للولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل".

sure they love Israel. I still recall when iranian football fans were interviewed by an Israeli TV station at the last world cup and expressed their admiration and love for the "Zionist" enemy.

By doing this, Hezbollah has confirmed what Pierre Gemayel said decades ago, "A cause is born in the world and will come to die in Lebanon".
14 April 2015, 13:31
115
I disagree phoenix:) judging by the votes one poster gets here I think the cause is alive and kicking. Imagine how many votes he will get once nassrallah speaks.:)
14 April 2015, 19:18
63
I know Justin, I can see it daily on this forum, but what Gemayel said decades ago, is this: That any cause that is up in the world, some Lebanese will bring it over to Lebanon and die for it. Yasser Arafat was there too, to the point where everyone was calling one of his sons Yasser. before him was Gemal Abdel Nasser, same, calling their kids Gemal. Now Hezbollah is trying to make Lebanon a shrine for dead Shiites, shame to be honest.

mouwaten you don't have to be denial. hezbollah's islamic agenda is playing or al manar everyday in front of you! have you ever bothered watching their channel? all their women are veiled, they have a show explaining shariaa law to lebanese callers and telling to live by it. they have war Montage videos every hour however they all say " for the nation ( el wattan) never do they mention the word Lebanon, there are no lebanese flags in their war montage only yellow flags in the videos for their recruitments. This is clearly not a lebanese party and their agenda of making lebanon is very obvious on their t.v channel! if u don't believe me all you have to do is watch!

yes i do watch al manar, I'm always interested in what kind of propaganda one of Lebanon's influecncial parties t.v channel. Also from your answer i see you chose to be in denial. all you have to do is watch it a few hours a week and you'll confirm what i stated earleir. or better yet ask your frind mystic he seems to be into al manar

More and more, Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon down into the regional morass of secular warfare that their ally, Bashar al Assad fomented in an effort to retain power in Syria. Thousands of innocent lives have been sacrificed at the altar of Assad's power where Nasrallah has served as the supplier of sacrificial lambs.

And shame, shame on these Lebanese young men, dressed up in Hezbollah (Israeli) military uniforms, bearing a foreign flag while on Lebanese soil. Shame!
