  This is terrible…why they put religion (only 1 religion) in a conference of security…why they talk politics??

  Lebanese security force should not have a conference now they should catch the killers!!

  Ashraf Rifi and Sabe3 have proven themselves to be the most incompetent couple in charge of security.

  absolutely disgusting. I am Muslim and I find it what Rifi did offensive. Yes I am Muslim but I am Lebanese first…and anything that offends fellow Lebanese of other faiths offends me.

  I have to say this but I’m really not surprised of this. I remember when Masjid al-Amin was built downtown…and how it swallows St. Georges cathedral due to it’s size.

  The fact that it dwarfs another Lebanese house of worship is enough of a reason for Hariri to have shrunk designs for his mosque.

  Now the ISF??? Walla 3eib…

  Omar Allah yikattir men amsalak…We want to be sensitive for each other and we want to keep religion inside houses of worship only…I hope one day we can have politic without religion also.

  The conference is really pathetic. The whole speech was folkloric including the religious and non religious parts. I guess this is what you get when you have an “Arab” conference with Lebanese trying to walk into their shoes. We still need a lot of profession… All Arab conferences I went to are just like this one. The quar2an reading at the beginning and then zero-value speeches about the nation. I hopes as Lebanese we could change that, but it seems it’s working the other way.

  No spine, what so ever

  He’s either doing that to beg for money, or he’s just stupid.

  Isn’t the government from 14 March that you are fighting for, that have lead us to this point.

  this is the fault of all christian leaders that followed Sanioura and Jounblat!!!!!!!

  I don’t know why are u suprised??

  Arabs will never change, they will sell us speeches all day without real action.
  They have the Palestinian cause to talk about, so they use it in all their speeches.

  As for the religious factor, i think it’s because the Arab League is the organizer and supervisor of the meeting.

  N,

  There are more important issues to highlight than how someone opened an idiotic conference. Of all places for this stupid conference to take place Lebanon! We have had more assassinations in the past 2 years than there have been in the whole f-ing region in the last 50 years.

  Civil Marriage people… It’s the key to change! People must have the choice. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness… Lebanon is 0 for 3.

  hi every 1 bro 10452 i agree with u on that >>> Since when a convention held in Lebanon by the ISF & Security forces is started with an islamic prayer ??
  So what if it is a convention for the Arab police responsibles ?

  This is Lebanon and not KSA and this is unacceptable
  its not fair , but man please we have to think and b there for the palestinian and presure other country’s to do the same , if we dont do that , then idiots and tossers they gona keap playing games on those poor ppl using them as a cause to get israel , iran and syria dont care about palestinian people , and even iran dosint care about syria , i bet u if iran takes control and do what they want in the area , the first thing is they gona wipe out israel and u can say palestine 2 or most ov it because to close to israel , thats if they make it far in the air , then god knows ho is next i will say iran will invade syria the last.
  any way my point is i know y israel there and i dont think they ever going from there , but i beleive that if we stand all as united off cource with out syria and iran with the palestinian ppl iam shure it can b some progress then at least they will get lots ov there land back , and u will force people like iran and syria that way to behave other wise it will b to risky on them , in a nother word stuff up there underground games and explain it clearest u can because lost ov ppl bean brain washed or they beleive what mymy and dady tald them , any way a continuation on the subject will b on youtube soon searsh under lebnen mabyerka3 in few days should b on there

  With all respect to anyone thinking the arabs are selling us speaches and they are useless, come out of your coocoon. The only 2 countries more retarded than lebanon currently are Syria and Iraq.
  The rest of the region is flying high.

  I agree with N that religion in those issues is improper and that we are need to be more neutral with those issues. Especially the key figures in the government.

  Fad14,

  I agree with you about you said of Arabs, eventhough you’re pointing at what i said, and i really know what you mean, since i live in Kuwait and i’ve been to all the Gulf countries, and i have the same feeling you mentioned.
  But i was talking about the people of “Soumoud & Tasaddi”, meaning Syria, Sudan, Iraq and co., and some of us in Lebanon.

  Take care

  Thanks Rodge, I knew what you meant and it was not against you as a reply.

  I general, people living in Lebanon, stil think we are the leaders in this region. The train has gone past us and we are at least 30 years late, the money that was always used to build our country came form the gulf, as the GCC states didnt have the potential we had.

  Today its all in the Gulf including us, the Lebanese. The only thing left in beirut is crumps of our history and the mentality that we are still leaders.
