Aoun Slams Criticism against Nasrallah: Claims of Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon are Misleading

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun slammed on Tuesday the negative stances against Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah over his call for rallies to protest the anti-Islam film.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting: “It's unacceptable to criticize whoever calls for calm.”

“Nasrallah made positive proposals to tackle the situation. Would we remain silent if Christ was insulted?” he asked.

Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel had questioned on Monday the timing of Nasrallah's rallies, saying that the Lebanese internal scene can no longer support any more protests.

The Hizbullah leader had called for a series of demonstrations throughout the week to protest the film that sparked outrage throughout the Islamic world for its mocking of the Prophet Mohammed.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea stated on Monday that Nasrallah had exploited the issue for political purposes.

Commenting on claims that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are present in Lebanon, Aoun accused the media and opposition of misleading the public.

He said: “We will not defend the guards if they were indeed in Lebanon.”

“I have no knowledge of the presence of the guards in Lebanon,” he added.

The head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Mohammed Ali Jaafari had stated on Sunday that members of its Quds Force were present in Lebanon and Syria to play a “counselor” role.

He denied that they are providing military assistance in both countries.

On Monday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry denied his remarks, saying they were taken out of context.

"Would we remain silent if Christ was insulted?"

Where were your -or anyone's- objections to the Homosexual Christ theater play? Should Christians have burnt a McDonald's (after eating at it for free) to show their disgust?

Get real, Christ has been mocked since forever, don't play the ignorant card... unless of course...

Thumb geha 18 September 2012, 18:26

all attempts to push for the salafi scare are tools of hizbushaitan and allies.
hizbushaitan is the one financing and arming so called salafi group in tripoli. and this is a fact.
while m14 asked the army to arrest any person having a weapon n tripoli, hizbushaitan is protecting the salafis :)
so for those like karim: wake up and know what you are talking about before speaking.

"Would we remain silent if Christ was insulted?” Who on earth do you think you are Mr Aoun? Why do you think you have the right or the duty to defend the Christ? Who asked you or tasked you to defend the Christ. What an insult, what a disgrace. The answer to that is "Yes", you sir, should remain silent because by your words you offend the Christ, not defend him. The Christ does not need you, nor anyone for that matter, to defend him.

YA 7aram ya Aoun, you have forgotten the basics of christianity: Tolerance and Love ... Christ did not even let his deciples defend him when he was taken to be crucified, I am sure he does not need a delusional person like you who knows nothing about Christianity or Christ to pretend to defend or care about him. Shame on you ya Aoun

Can the general please explain how the protests are 'positive proposals'? What is their purpose and what do they hope to accomplish? My guess is that his unemployed uneducated followers are getting paid to protest and they in turn can feed their families.

Mr Aoun should follow the news more closely, Iran admitted that they are present in Lebanon and Syria.

That's absolutely correct mohammad. But do you see Christians rioting with pitchforks burning down flags, destroying property and even go as far as taking human lives? Don't think so. These shallow-minded barbaric extremist who call themselves God worshiping Islams are an embarrassment to all us and reason why most this world see us as a regressed society (animals).

P1 @ Dear Mr. Nasrallah, fake Muslim and leader of the Iranian mercenary terror group masquerading as Lebanese resistance, you say: “The United States must realize that broadcasting the entire film will have very dangerous repercussions in the world.” I say to you, you must realize that threatening the United States of America will have very dangerous repercussions on you and your followers. You and every fake Muslim who obey your message of hate and intolerance are nothing more than terrorist thugs who deserve to be ridiculed and ignored.

Thumb Bandoul 18 September 2012, 20:26

P2 @ Dear Mr. Nasrallah, You and every fake Muslim like you, will meet God one day and suffice it to say, you will find out the hard way that you were not entitled to kill in his name or take over the world and plunge it back into the dark ages so you can monopolize the world to your advantage. There are winner and losers in this world and the USA will always be a winner and fake bearded wanabe pretend Muslims who run around like savages destroying property because their feelings are hurt, will always be losers! Long live the USA, may it defeat fanaticism, indoctrination, rigid ideology and fake Muslims wherever they exist!

Both Aoun and Nasrallah sound empty and pathetic. They are the agents of Assad and opression in Lebanon, and they are quickly falling with him. No cosmetic change would help, their fate is sealed with assad! No, I won't shed any tears... they single handedly torpedo all the achievements of the Cedar Revolution and took their communities to the dark ages and set us on a destructive path examplified by Iran and North Korea. Bon debarras!

Thumb beiruti 18 September 2012, 22:14

Only Aoun could defend that. Nasrallah was not motivated to stir crowds in the street over the perceived American insult to Moslems. Hell, his people are responsible for the deaths of many Moslems in Syria simply because they practice Sunni Islam . No, Nasrallah's problem was that the Pope was in town and had 600,000 people in the street. He couldn't let that pass and had to put people in the street to show his control of the street.
And Aoun is his prophet.

Dear Little General: If Christ was insulted, we would defend him, but we would not conduct raids against innocent civilians and politicians and kill them, would we? Is the entire USA, a country of 350 Million people, responsible for the actions of one stupid man? How can you justify an entire nation be held responsible for the actions of a madman who created a ridiculous movie? Unreal...
