Rima,
I really do think any understanding between any lebanese parties is welcome…
But what really makes me uneasy is the view of those bearded felows getting together,we need less of those and more of the modern educated citizen,with more secularistic views….
I wish one day we stop seeing those religion people around,let them stay in their holy places and get their hands of politics….

The real danger is turning a group of useless fanatics to an armed group that can be used as a scapegoat for Hizbulla or Aoun.

Small salafi groups that spend their time praying are not such a threat for lebanon and their potential of expansion in lebanon is limited…Un doubtebly the only thing that could make those guys stronger is the weakening of the enlightened sunnism represent by the FM but also by Mikati or Safadi in Tripoli.

Salafi terrorist groups is another matter as they don’t need to be that many to be harmful, still as proven with the fatah el islam experience these guys can’t expand much in lebanon as lebanon is just too small for them to hide…

Bottom line salafism is a problem but nothing of magnitude compared to the other problems lebanon has…

There is nothing really wrong about Salafists, it’s just a religion sect. Not all salafists are the same and the new MOU can really underline this fact.

The problem is the brainwashed people who will follow orders blindly, whether they were salafists or others.
