Bou Saab: I Refuse Describing Salam as 'Daeshi'
Education Minister Elias Bou Saab refused on Sunday descriptions hinting at PM Tamam Salam as a “Daeshi,” stressing that Salam is a “moderate figure.”
“Salam is a moderate figure and our differences with him are strictly political,” said Bou Saab, of the Free Patriotic Movement, to LBCI.
He denounced the accusations that described Salam's politics as 'Daeshi,'in a reference to the Arabic acronym of the Islamic State extremist group.
Foreign Minister Jibran Bassil of the FPM said on Friday, a day after a heated debate with Salam during a cabinet session, that the movement “will confront 'Daeshi' politics.”
Bassil had hailed the street protests by FPM supporters that were paralleled with a Thursday cabinet convention, saying that they have restored hope for the Christians in Lebanon.
He said during a press conference: “ We are waging the battle of defending all the Christians and Lebanese.”
Bou Saab added that another heated debate took place between Bassil and Health Minister Wael Abou Faour during the cabinet meeting.
Furthermore he called for a joint agreement to solve the governmental crisis.

Mr Bou Saab vous êtes un homme intelligent et vous avez merveilleusement réussi dans vos entreprises. Comment se fait-il qu'un homme de valeur comme vous puisse se fourvoyer dans un parti dirigé par un homme sénile, coléreux, irréfléchi et aventureux qui n'a aucun autre but que de profiter de la crédulité d'un nombre de plus en plus réduit de partisans pour accéder à la richesse et à la griserie du pouvoir pour lui, ses gendres et ses neveux. Vou considérez-vous au niveau d'un Gebran Bassil. Je n'accepte pas de le croire! Réfléchissez et organisez votre sortie dignement de cette mare à crapauds. Croyez-moi je suis passé par là.

More figures like Bou Saab needed in the Arab World. There is no option but coexistence.
