بين جبال احتضنت يوما المقر البطريركي وأراض زراعية تعود ملكيتها للبطريركية المارونية، استملكها اليوم – من غير حق- أهالي لاسا، تقع كنيسة السيدة التي تحولت اليوم وبين ليلة وضحاها الى مسجد. كيف حصل ذلك؟ من المسؤول؟ و من يعارض تسليم الكنيسة؟ لقد ذهبنا الى لاسا واليكم ما عدنا به.

لاسا هي قرية تقع بعد قرطبا، وهي ذات أغلبية شيعية ينقسم ولاؤها بين أمل وحزب الله، مع أغلبية لحزب الله. تدخل الى البلدة فتستقبلك أعلام حزب الله المنتشرة على الأعمدة الكهربائية تليها صورعماد مغنية. القرية عبارة عن بضع بيوت ذات طابع تراثي يتخللها أبنية حديثة- بني بعضها على أراض تابعة للرهبنة المارونية- بموجب علم وخبر ودون أي عقد أو أتفاق مع البطريركية نفسها. تقودك الطريق الى آخر القرية حيث تغيب عنك الأبنية لتفسح المجال أمام الصخور والأشجار والمساحات الزراعية. وعلى طرف القرية بين الخيم الزراعية تقع كنيسة السيدة التي تم تحويلها منذ شهر تقريبا الى مسجد بعد محاولات سابقة عدة.

    harissa will turn into a mosque if it countinues at this rate.. some1 should put an end to these thugs…

  • 2. Rodge | September 5th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

    so now what can anyone say to justify such an act???

    Please people, wake up, open ur eyes, be aware, learn that Hizb doesn’t care at all of Christians, doesn’t respect any principle or holy symbol.
    Especially Aounis, please you should denounce this, because this is notm about politics, this is about ur christian identity, if u’re still care about it.

    May Khreiche, where are you?? or this doesn’t require any move?? yes they are not the LF, they are the Hizb.

    My suggestion that all aounis become shiaas, starting Micho.

    Last, I think wee” hear more of that stories in the future in the areas where the Hizb exists and where they will be soon.

    shou fahamkoun ento el zo3ran de l’ouwet its all about tamezouj el hadarat

    We should mobilize and not let it pass. We should bring back our church and obtain à judiciary decision to destroy all the illegal constructions on the church lands… If we don’t react, they will do it again elsewhere. Yhey are testing us by acting in the heartland of the christian nation. LF militants, this is your duty…

    They’ve already taken over some sunni mosques and turned them to “7usseiniat” and there are a lot going on for this issue …

    Actually not surprised that they’ve taken over a church and I bet this isn’t the only one.

    I bet if someone will build a mosque in jounieh, every christian (in Lebanon) will be happy to turn it into a church….
    If this church was in their region ( don’t have enough info ) and no one is using it, so … it is still the house of God…
    If they stopped the christians there from their faith, destroyed the church etc… Yes, we can all act…

    Nevermind, did u read what happened to the church ? did u bother read the article ?

  • 8. Ra'fat | September 5th, 2008 at 9:04 pm

    Jad, tamezouj el hadarat is usually by agreement. The article clearly sais they took this by force without asking permission. Then again you seem the kind of person that would not mind someone coming in and taking your home and calling it tamezoj el bineyet or tamezoj el neighberhood. Yalla maybe they take your wife w call it tamazoj el azwej. Lek yimkin nihna zou3ran, bass law la hal zou3ran w shohadaoun (which you guys always ignore) ma fik tiftah timmak bi hal balad wala ken 3indak balad ta ta3mil fi el tamazoj. Rouh tmazaj shi mahhal b3eed, ow ahsan, khod el accent francais tab3eetak w nzel tmezaj bil dahyih, you probably would come out of there walking funny. You are not even worth a reply, bass every now and then it is fun to call out an idiot, and you are a pretty grand one. To the rest here, this is not the first church to be turned into a mosque and will not be the last, so let’s keep things in perspective. I really don’t think this is something to get really worked about, getting it back will not really solve anything. The core problem is hizballah and the rest of the Jads in this country. We solve that and everthything works out, we become a minority and all we could do is watch what they do to the country and remember there will be another election in four years. The beauty of democracy when done right is that the people get what they deserve, no more and no less, the only caveat is that the intelligent minority will always suffer because of the Jads that make up the idiot majority.

    nice comment but i think what jad said is sarcasm.

  • 10. THERESINIA | September 6th, 2008 at 12:20 am

    CHRIST is about love. Christianity is about loving others. “What merit do we have to love our parents and our friends ?… we ought to love our enemy”…

    CHRIST is still in this church, and no one can go to the FATHER without going through the SON.

    I believe that Christians are in this part of the world for a good reason.

    Father OSSEIRANE once said to my grand- father:”I cannot tell you how conversion is easy through LOVE” !!!

    Nevermind why would christians want to turn a mosque in jounieh to a church??

    My opinion, the true solution if there ever is one, is for us to start building. Instead of arguing and wasting time on things we can’t change and talking about guns and fighting, we need to focus 3ala manatena w nbalish n3ammer. We need to turn our areas of presence into a symbol of culture and advancement. Instead of holding majaless el siyesseh we need to go out into the streets and clean them, we need to organize the communities and encourage people to respect the law, we need to drive like human beings and respect our neighbors and treat each others and strangers with respect. We need to spend our money on community advancing projects that benefit everyone and not on having more branches. We need to turn our areas and our attitude into an example for the others to follow, until we do that we are no better than anyone, words in the end get nothing done. We obviously can’t convince our opponents, and at the moment all we have is words, so taking action is the proper second step. If they are not wlling to work with us that should not stop us from doing what is right. That might not get our church back, but it would show that we are committed to a better Lebanon not just by words. If we get our Lebanon, the church will come back on its own.

    THIS SHITY MOU WHITH THE IGNORANT AOUNIS R PAVING THE ROAD FOR THE JOUMHOURIEH EL ESLEMIEH

  • 15. Maximus | September 6th, 2008 at 2:53 pm

    Ya shabeb, the progressive intrusion of hizbullah in jbail is a very well planified plan: their objective is to cut the christian land in two: the north will be cut from the south. That will compromise all our dreams of geographic unity in the perspective of a federal state. How comme Lasa became shhite when there is a 200 old years church in it? They are invading it progressivily. Wake up before it is too late.

    Yes Ra’fat, back to the roots…

    Jad, I am sorry, I guess the comment hit me the wrong way, as I am sure some Orangists out there think like that and it drives me nuts.
