« Patriarch Sfeir: Quote of the day
The Invention of the Jewish People »

Sfeir says no to Hezbollah …

Posted by N10452

For as long as it has existed, with very few exceptions, The Maronite Church has always stood for what is right and good for Lebanon and specifically its Christians. A Lebanon without its free christians will no longer be Lebanon but another arab country.

Yesterday’s statement by Patriarch Sfeir came as a warning to Christians first, and to all the Lebanese in general. We cannot have a “resistance army that would one day use its weapons against the enemy and another day domestically.”

Not surprisingly, this statement came after visiting President Michel Suleiman in Baabda.

Why from Baabda ? for four main reasons:
1- To remind Pr.Suleiman that he holds a responsibility towards Christians and all the Lebanese with regards to Hezbollah and its arms.
2- To emphasize that The presidential seat will remain for the Maronites (and bashing Jumblatt’s proposal of rotating the presidential seat among sects).
3- To clarify to Aoun and Hariri, and from the presidential palace, that his stances did not change and he will not bless the upcoming government.
4- To send a warning to all Christians and Muslims on the danger Hezbollah presents on their freedom and Lebanon’s freedom.

Bkerke always speaks what’s right and always warns ahead of time, yet only few listen.

Lebanon was invaded by Syria, Bkerke was the first to ask for their withdrawal.
Christian leaders were being persecuted, Bkerke was the first to ask for justice. (etc …)

After the ‘06 war and Beirut’s invasion, Bkerke is warning us all of what’s next to come if Hezbollah stays armed.

“Wa man ladayhi 2ouzounatayn, fal yasma3″

    ” Bkerke always speaks what’s right ” i I didnt know you see the batrak as ” al ma3soum ” ;)

    the statement you wrote above didnt come in the baabda in the first place; but from visitors who saw him earlier … in the palace he was answering questions..
    سئل: هل صحيح ما نقله زواركم عنكم، لجهة تساؤلكم، هل من المعقول أن يكون هناك جيش غير شرعي يدير سلاحه مرة الى الداخل ومرة إلى العدو؟
    أجاب: «نعم، نحن نقول هذا القول لأن هناك جيشا نظاميا وجيشا غير نظامي، ويجب أن يأتلف الجيشان، فما من بلد آخر فيه جيشان، جيش للدولة وجيش لغير الدولة».

    i recall u saying:”To emphasize that The presidential seat will remain for the Maronites”

    while the batrak says: ونحن مع إلغاء الطائفية السياسية، ولكن يجب الإعداد لذلك
    meen 3am bifaness ? :)

    N… i wasnt commenting on the patriarch but on what you wrote.
    are you with the taef agreement ? i thaught you were against it… my mistake.

  • 13. Darwish | December 9th, 2009 at 7:13 pm

    Sfeir is just repeating what he has been saying since day one and what everyon else is thinking but not willing to say anymore.

  • 14. Doc1559 | December 9th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

    More desperate attacks from Bkerki as agenda losses credibility.. they lost it all , read politics.

    Batrak sfeir is misleading accusations rather than addressing the real challenge..

    Desperate attacks can only be performed when your party or political/rel.igious stand is in deep trouble.

    Bkerki’s method are not helping the situation, and the batrak is responsible.

    Lastly, sfeir alone cannot build a country, he needs the help of others, when will he understand that ?? Anyway, talk is cheap.. let him talk !!

  • 15. danny | December 9th, 2009 at 9:50 pm

    14…

    WTF???

    Desparate attacks ya chiwawa? His eminance expressed profound views!! Agenda; credibility…Yup like your village idiots kissing bashars ASS!!

    >>>”misleading accusations”…Hmmm…Do you know English or is it Dahiye lingo?

    desparate attacks..bla bla bla…Shut the f up you dink! Cardinal Sfeir is the spiritual leader of all Maronites and the SOUL of Lebanon! Low class static from the stalls of your bathroom is not appreciated!

    Lastly you ASSHOLE have the decency of calling him by his title! he is NOT your buddy!!!

    Last week all you guys were saying ittafa2o on 99% of the issues, and you said they can’t ignore this great man called Aoun…. Elhay2a mich aryino… It’s funny that up to this morning all M8 media were still talking about history in the making between Aoun and the Cardinal…. Guess it was CHEAP propaganda…

    1, AOUN/sfeir meeting was a positive step toward TAW7ID AL SAF al massi7i of yours, nooo ?? samir ja3ja3 da7a bil kbir wel zghir la ywa7id al saf al masi7i w lek when sar ??

    I love your ” “lesser of two evils” propaganda technique of bkerki, M8 and KSA are both evils, but we should stand by KSA and allies cuz they are less evil !! I still remember how sfeir clearly went on tv and supported the KSA agenda a few hours b4 the voting took place , this low and filthy technique is often accompanied by adding blame on the political opponent (GMA AND HA at the time) for everthing that was going wrong in Lebanon ect.. 2 moth ago, sfeir asked for one color gov, he lost his bet ;) ! Currently speaking, bkerki is being forced by some supreme power out there , maybe the vatican to sit down and discuss issues with the greatest Lebanese Maronite (GMA), chu didn’t you see how disgusted and irritated sfeir was during the meeting while GMA was looking happy and powerful !! Yalla more foreign pressure on bkerki will take place as aoun continues to be politically correct and wise on many levels.وفي نهاية لقاء بكركي غير المسبوق شكلاً ومضموناً، سُئل البطريرك عن الأجواء، فأجاب: جيد جداً جداً جداً. فيما اكتفى عون بالقول لمحطتنا: أنها صفحة جديدة
    Kbir ya general !!

    2, you say :W chou hay2to saba2 el kill 3a sourya…. even the lebanese Prime Minister…. akid ra7 yi7ke bi ossit el mo3ta2alin

    answer : GMA’s visit has nothing to do with you guys, ma 7adan khassu la saad wla 7adan abadan… intu bi wede wel general bi wede teneh..

    * what’s wrong with visiting syria ? Nothing!
    * Is syria our enemy ? NO!
    * Was aoun invited by assad ? Yes !

    tayib hala2 zaman silem w syria mano enemy, bala lesh samir ja3ja3 zar souriya w 3za bi bassel laman syria kenit enemy ? ;)

    The Batrak has three roles in Lebanon:
    1.)Being the religious figure that he is for the Maronites.
    2.)Trying to protect the”Christian community” in Lebanon.
    3.)Listening to the the vatican and abiding by their plan.

    It doesn’t always work out. Like what happend in the civil war.

    He doesn’t want to align with Hezbollah because he knows the Israelies will destroy the country. With almost everyone supporting the will to protect our country; he is trying to show the West that the Christians are still loyal to the vatican and NWO plan in an effort to spare us. Politics through religion. Nothing more.

    Trailer trash ali/doc,

    Your howling aside…Do you hate yourself so much? I guess for you a “good politician” is one one bends over and kisses bashar’s derriere…Well Cardinal Sfeir is the voice and consience of all Christians in Lebanon and their voice! Please enlighten us what makes a good politician…in the meantime keep cleaning the public washrooms in dearorne; it seems the stink reminds you of Dahiye and encompasses your useless existence …

  • 24. Infidel | December 10th, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    when sfeir dies, who will take his place? what kind of politicians will he have? (i say he, because in the maronite church, women cannot become patriarchs, unlike our glorious anglican church :P )

    Did i hit a raw nerve ??..tttt, relax man !! Facts are facts and you cannot change them!! Bkerki was forced into this..

    Danny the fanny

    Relax you scooby doo..
    Bottom line is this, religion and politics are two different things, religious leaders should not be political leaders, especially in a country like Lebanon… unfortunatelly, sfeir fell into the trap w YALLA sar mitlo mitel al ba2iyeh … can you deny it ???

    Cardinals and preists must work for ALL, not representing any side(ouwet) against the other side (FPM) , when you think about it you find it a bit hard to be swollow it, BUT SFEIR DOES NOT REPRESENT ALL MARONITES, I know many maronites who dispise the guy and can’t wait till he goes away..
