Jumblat Warns Spiritual Leaders against Slack Syria Statement
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Sources close to Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat warned spiritual leaders that are set to meet in Bkirki on Sunday against not stressing an end to the violent crackdown of the Syrian regime on protestors.
The sources said that the Muslim and Christian spiritual leaders should take a clear stance from the Syrian crisis and stress the need for a political solution based on an Arab League plan for President Bashar Assad to transfer power to his deputy.
They also said the final statement of the Bkirki meeting should call for “an end to the violence committed by the regime” that according to the Syrian opposition has so far claimed more than 9,100 lives.
The conferees should not fall in the trap of holding both the regime and the armed opposition responsible for the violence in Syria, Jumblat’s sources warned.
“Any such stance would be totally rejected and severally criticized,” they said.
Jumblat has severally criticized the Syrian regime on its brutal crackdown. He urged Moscow during the Socialist International Special Committee on the Arab World conference held in Istanbul to help rid the Syrian people of Assad and his family.

Agreed, but these same so called spiritual leaders are all corrupt and have their own agendas, thus they are supporting this failed regime.

I agree with your comment. But not the burning. Don't forget most lebanese have their own problems to deal with, blame the west for not helping.

Slash, did you vote for the same leaders in the elections ? Sadely the reason why the same leaders come again and again, is that lebanese people are divided based on political and sectarian issues. When it comes to election, the other real issues are not relevant in the eyes of the lebanese voters (corruption, accomplishment of the candidate during his last mandate, did they do what they promised during the last election ...)

Definitely, Lebanon is a beautiful country as it is, that's if you do abstraction. If its people. Otherwise it's a nightmare.

Please don't give up guys. You are depressing the hell out of me. I prefer you fighting here, instead of giving up. Most of your problems are from outside. You want the west, they want Iran and Syria. I don't want anybody, my life is screwed up enough, without an outside help. lol

Jumblatt is way out of line telling a religous leader to endorse killing. That is the secular advising the church to be amoral. The patriarch has a responsibility to the tenets of his faith. Lebanon's problem are made worse by Israeli policy-invasions and assaults, daily violations of your air space,etc but your politicians are distracted and more interested in petty squabbles.March 14 block necessary steps like building more electical capability,beginning oil exploration, they are against basic accounting practices used all over the world. They are hurting Lebanon for purely political reasons. Jumblatt's family have been around for 600 years or so. He has a voice like Harari,etc because of his daddy. Lebanon needs a new generation of leaders who are not powerful because their fathers handed them power. Those men are vested in the staus quo and the status quo will not work. Prognosis: SITUATION HOPELESS!

@John Williams:
"Jumblatt is way out of line telling a religous leader to endorse killing." He said they should ask for an end to violence, how did you get endorse violence from that?
"Lebanon's problem are made worse by Israeli policy-invasions and assaults" Syria occupied Lebanon for 15 years after the war and stole billions of Lebanese dollars and Huzb Allah has set up a state within a state but you worry more about Israel.
