Lebanon Mufti: Future Movement Supporters Spilled My Blood

Published Monday, December 30, 2013

The turban of Lebanon’s grand mufti, Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani, fell on the floor of Khashogji Mosque yesterday, December 29. It was knocked off by Future Movement supporters who tried to assault him. However, members of the Internal Security Forces’ Information Branch prevented them from going too far.

The presence of Qabbani at the funeral of 16-year-old Mohammed al-Shaar – who died December 28 from a head injury he sustained during Friday’s blast that killed former Finance Minister Mohammed Shatah – was not planned or expected. Qabbani originally asked Sheikh Mohammed Amin al-Arwadi to pray over Shaar’s body but then decided to attend the funeral himself.

Qabbani told Al-Akhbar, “When I saw the martyr’s father and friends crying over his casket, I decided to attend the funeral to pray over his body.” He added, “My security guards were not present, I just wanted to pray and return home, but praise to God how things transpired.”

When Qabbani reached the door of the mosque, a man yelled, “What brought you?” As soon as Qabbani entered the mosque, a concert of insults began. Future Movement supporters did not respect the solemnity of the occasion, the symbolism of the turban, or the sanctity of the place.

My security guards were not present, I just wanted to pray and return home, but praise to God how things transpired.

 

Inside the mosque, no one bothered Qabbani. Mourners made way for him to pass, but the screaming and the slogans repeated outside took over the funeral rites, especially when they started chanting, “There is no God but God, and the Mufti is the enemy of God.” 

Qabbani said, “When I heard this chant, I realized that my blood had been spilled. The protesters wanted to kill me. I surrendered my fate to God and accepted his judgement.”

Things did not go according to plan. Sheikh Arwadi did not pray over the young man’s body. Instead, Sheikh Ahmad al-Omari – one of the hawks of al-Jamaa al-Islamiya (the Muslim Brotherhood’s branch in Lebanon) and head of the Association of Muslim Scholars in Lebanon – prayed over Shaar’s body. 

In his sermon, Omari attacked Hezbollah, describing it as the “party of the devil.” He called on the Shia to “disown” Hezbollah “if they are true believers,” and stressed the “patience of the persecuted Sunni sect is running out.” Omari’s sermon re-ignited the atmosphere. The coffin was carried to the nearby Shatila Cemetery while Future Movement supporters waited for Qabbani. 

Rumors spread that the mufti had left, but no one believed them. For two hours he was trapped inside the mosque. Those close to him contacted the security forces to secure his exit. Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn answered his phone and promised to deal with the problem, reassuring everyone that “the army will not enter the mosque,” as sources from Dar al-Iftaa reported. 

Despite promises of action, nothing happened on the ground. Time passed very slowly for those trapped inside. Outside, the protesters remained on high alert. Even the rain did not drive them away. In the meantime, several officials arrived at the request of the head of the security branch in Beirut, George Khamis: MP Mouin Merhebi; Hariri security official Abed al-Arab; and Nader Hariri, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s adviser. 

They tried to persuade Qabbani to leave the mosque “under their protection,” but Qabbani refused, insisting that he come out the same way he went in. After mediations failed, the Information Branch intervened. First they took out Sheikh Arwadi, who got his share of blows that knocked off his turban. Then they escorted Qabbani out. The crowd rushed him, knocking off his turban. Some protesters managed to reach him before he got in an armoured vehicle, which Future Movement supporters pelted with shoes. The mufti was driven to his motorcade while the crowd at the mosque dispersed. 

Most politicians condemned the events, except the Future Movement, which acted as if nothing had happened. The mufti of Tripoli and the North, Sheikh Malek al-Shaar, expressed his pain over events. Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned and rejected the events. Former Prime Minister Salim al-Hoss asked that religious sanctuaries be respected. Yet Future MP Ammar Houri said his political party is no longer able to placate people, warning that tensions are running dangerously high.

Dar al-Fatwa issued a statement: “[We hold] political forces, especially Prime Minister Mikati and head of the Future Movement parliamentary bloc Fouad Siniora, directly responsible for trying to tarnish the image and unifying post of the grand mufti by issuing inflammatory campaigns that mislead people in order to fulfill their desire to control Dar al-Fatwa.”

Saturday’s attack is reminiscent of the attack on the Grand Serail by Future Movement supports after the funeral of Wissam al-Hassan in October 2012.

Shatah Assassination: Who Will Benefit From the Accusations?

No one needs to explain to people that the Future Movement and March 14 are accusing Hezbollah of being behind the assassination of former minister Mohammed Shatah. Their logic is based on a political – or maybe non-political – conviction that Hezbollah is capable of assassination, does not want any opposing voices, and wishes to terrorize its adversaries in Lebanon.

March 14 has reached the same conclusion on every occasion: The killer continues to spill blood and lose.

For the past nine years, at least, the same group of people have been accusing Hezbollah and the Lebanese-Syrian security regime of being behind the series of political assassinations in Lebanon, which mostly targeted March 14 figures. This was even before their posing as a political coalition, or Syria’s withdrawal from Lebanon.

At first, they said Hezbollah and Damascus were behind it, and that those entities did not expect that all hell would break loose if they killed this or that person. They also said that those who planned the assassinations did not anticipate the reaction, and did not take people's anger into consideration. This group insisted on accusing the same side, saying that Hezbollah continues to terrorize its opponents. Much was said about how the party is a pawn of the Syrian regime and that it only knows how to kill when confronting adversaries. Others said the party wanted to disrupt the work of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL). They said Hezbollah wanted to expand the war from Syria to Lebanon to block the path of all attempts to rebuild genuine political life in the country.

March 14 has reached the same conclusion on every occasion: The killer continues to spill blood and lose.

In many cases, it’s understandable that anger, tension, and hatred could lead to political accusations or even fabrications against an opponent. But in our case, we might need to ask questions that are naive or spiteful:

– Is Hezbollah stupid to the extent of not learning the lesson of the first assassination? Does its resumé indicate a deficiency that could make it a prisoner of this game?

– Did the outcome of those assassinations benefit Hezbollah, as a resistance movement, a political group, or a side that is the center of polarization for Arab Shia?

– Is Hezbollah working for its enemies, providing them with ammunition whenever they face a difficulty, and facilitating a climate to take measures and steps that would make it a central target?

– Doesn't Hezbollah possess other methods of terrorizing its opponents, after failing the first, second, and third time?

– Does Hezbollah, which is up to its neck in a more substantial confrontation in Syria and the region, find itself in a situation forcing it to toy with its local opponents through such an assassination?

– If Hezbollah today opposes the formation of a de facto government, why does it give its local, regional, and international opponents a tool to force such a government into being?

– Did Hezbollah pledge to kill an opponent every time there is a landmark in the STL, leading to more actions against the party?

– If the party was professional to the extent of doing all what its opponents say, why does it not choose a more representative personality from the opposition?

Does Hezbollah, which is up to its neck in a more substantial confrontation in Syria and the region, find itself in a situation forcing it to toy with its local opponents through such an assassination?

 

There are other calculations, based on facts and information, saying that Lebanon is heading toward more madness and more blood. And, as usual, Lebanon becomes big enough for an international congregation of assassins. Those who do not want to hear the voice of reason could let the tears cover their eyes and anger control their muscles, marching steadily to an abyss.

Lebanon, which is struggling under the weight of the Syrian crisis, will become more agitated as the scene changes in the Levant. Every single intelligence agency is in Lebanon, carrying information about the "open arena" for "generations of terrorists." Those who attempt to ignite the situation politically, taking steps akin to adventures, are similar to those attempting to turn Lebanon into a launching pad for terrorist operations related to the Syrian situation. There are those like them, who think that such a crime would turn the political tides to the benefit or one or another party.

It is clear that such a discussion does not have a middle ground in the midst of political and security madness. It is even more clear that March 14 wants to keep on dancing over the blood, exploiting it here or there. And it is more than clear that someone wants to push Lebanon into a more cruel situation in the international war in the region, especially in Syria. However, they only aim for reactions, strife, and madness. In this case, how could one take a step backward, to look at the whole picture, while the only thing we see is a country by name only?

  Who Was Mohammed Shatah?

  Published Friday, December 27, 2013

  http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/who-was-mohammed-shattah 

   

  Former Lebanese Finance Minister Mohammed Shatah, killed in a massive blast in downtown Beirut Friday morning, was a leading member of the Western-favored March 14 movement and a close adviser to ex-Prime Minister Saad Hariri.

  
  

  No one has claimed responsibility for the car bomb that killed Shatah, a strong opponent of the government in Syria, but who was also seen as a moderate with ties to figures across Lebanon’s political landscape.

  
  

  “I honestly don’t know why he was targeted. I asked a lot of people, and everyone gave a different explanation,” Bassem al-Shaab, an MP with the March 14 Future Movement, told Al-Akhbar.

  
  

  “He was a very moderate, very enlightened man,” Shaab added, describing Shatah’s death as “a tragic loss.”

  
  

  Shatah, 62, wore many hats: A diplomat, he served as Lebanon’s ambassador to the United States in the late-1990s under the government of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, himself killed in an explosion in downtown Beirut almost nine years ago.

  He was an influential economist, holding positions at the International Monetary Fund, and serving as vice governor of Lebanon’s Central Bank in the early and mid-1990s during a period of reconstruction when the country was reeling from a 15-year civil war.

  
  

  In 2006 Shatah played a role in the negotiations that brought an end to Israel’s 34-day war on Lebanon with the enactment of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.

  
  

  
  
  

  “He worked with people from different parties and who held positions that differed from his own, not just March 14,” he added. “Maybe that’s why he was targeted.”

  From 2008 to 2009 Shatah served as finance minister before becoming an adviser to Saad Hariri, Rafik Hariri’s son. The younger Hariri was prime minister from 2009 until the government collapsed two years later, prompting him to go into exile over fears for his own life.

  Shatah’s political allies and foes alike praised him for his diplomacy and openness, with commentators saying that his killing revealed that the perpetrators showed no mercy for moderate forces.

  
  

  “He represented a voice of moderation,” Sami Nader, a political analyst and professor at Beirut’s Saint Joseph University, told Al-Akhbar.

  
  

  “He spent most of his political career building bridges and trying to find compromises,” Nader added. “When you get rid of such a symbol, that means you are targeting the things they stood for: dialogue, moderation, compromise … ”

  
  

  His slaying comes over a year after the assassination of Brigadier General Wissam al-Hassan, another prominent March 14 figure who died in a car bomb explosion.

  
  

  Since that killing Lebanon has been wracked by a series of car bombs targeting mostly civilians in Beirut’s southern suburbs and a twin explosion outside mosques in the northern city of Tripoli.

  
  

  March 14 figures were quick to pin the blame for Shatah’s killing on Hezbollah, which vehemently denied involvement, describing the assassination as a “terrorist” act and “heinous crime.”

  
  

  “It’s not for me to suspect [who was behind the explosion], but Shatah had political enemies. One of them was the Syrian regime, and one of them was Hezbollah,” Shaab said, noting that Shatah had also been involved in the international tribunal set up to investigate Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination.

  
  

  The Special Tribunal for Lebanon is set to begin hearings next month in the Hague, where several Hezbollah members will be tried in absentia over accusations of involvement in Hariri's killing.

  
  

  Hezbollah has criticized the tribunal as being partial toward the March 14 bloc, accusing it of basing its evidence on false witnesses.

  
  

  MP Ibrahim Kanaan told Al-Akhbar that the former minister’s assassination came as a surprise, as he frequently reached out to his opponents and worked with figures from all sides.

  
  

  “He was well known for his strong political positions, but he was also a positive person and very open-minded,” Kanaan, who is affiliated with the rival March 8 bloc, said.

  
  

  “He worked with people from different parties and who held positions that differed from his own, not just March 14,” he added. “Maybe that’s why he was targeted.”

  This is my second comment today which needs to be stated as a reminder for those who so quickly forget.
  Regarding the assassination of those that are anti-Hezbollah, here’s a look at other recent attacks in Lebanon, which definitely can be blamed on the Sewer Rat leader and his henchmen.
  -Oct. 1, 2004: Former Economy Minister Marwan Hamadeh survives a powerful Beirut car bombing, the first in a string of similar attacks targeting anti-Syrian politicians and journalists.
  - Feb. 14, 2005: Former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri is assassinated in a massive bombing in Beirut. Bassel Fleihan, who served as economy minister in Hariri’s government, also died in the blast. Anti-Syrian groups, then in the opposition, blame the Syrian and Lebanese governments, charges both deny.
  - June 2, 2005: Anti-Syrian journalist and activist Samir Kassir is killed by a bomb placed under his car.
  - June 21, 2005: Anti-Syrian politician George Hawi, a former Communist Party leader, is killed by a bomb planted under his car.
  - Sept. 25, 2005: Prominent anchorwoman May Chidiac of the leading anti-Syrian TV station LBC loses an arm and a leg from a bomb placed under her car.
  - Dec. 12, 2005: Gibran Tueni, a prominent anti-Syrian newspaper editor and lawmaker, is killed by a car bomb.
  - Nov. 21, 2006: Pierre Gemayel, the industry minister and a prominent Christian politician, is shot dead by gunmen in a Beirut suburb.
  - June 13, 2007: Walid Eido, an anti-Syrian member of parliament, is killed along with his son, two bodyguards and six others in an explosion in Beirut.
  - Sept. 19, 2007: Antoine Ghanem, a pro-government lawmaker from the right-wing Christian Phalange Party, is killed in a blast in the Christian suburb of Sin el-Fil, east of Beirut. Six others are also killed.
  - Dec. 12, 2007: Brig. Gen. Francois Hajj, the army’s head of operations, and his driver are killed in a car bombing in the Christian suburb of Baabda on the way to work.
  - Jan. 25, 2008: Car bomb kills senior police intelligence officer, Capt. Wissam Eid, a bodyguard and at least four others in Hazmieh, a Christian neighborhood on the edge of the Lebanese capital.
  - Oct. 19, 2012: A car bomb kills the chief of Lebanon’s police intelligence department, Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan, in a Christian neighborhood in east Beirut. At least seven others were also killed.
  And last but not least, a car bomb on Friday killed the prominent anti-Hezbollah Lebanese politician, Mohammad Shattah. There you have it. Do you really believe that the Saudis, Qataris and/or the Zionists were truly responsible for these?

  I am indeed most pleased to have struck the first blow. Interesting how many Hezbollah supporters came out in force to the defence of the Sewer Rat leader.
  Before we go further, the following, are the words of Mr Shattah for as the newspaper says ''Shattah was staunch critic of Hezbollah and of the Syrian government'. We now know that just prior to Shattah's death, he tweeted: "Hezbollah is pressing hard to be granted similar powers in security & foreign policy matters that Syria exercised in Lebanon for 15 yrs".
  To "Witness" who called my comments as being 'Verbal diarrhoea', and to "hezbeleb", who wants to archive my comments, but then feels that I nevertheless have a dense brain, tells me much. I have indeed struck a raw nerve with those Sewer Rats supporters who will quickly do their utmost to protect the image of their King Rat (Nasrallah), which I can well understand. So please go ahead and blame the Saudis, the Qataris and the Zionists as well, it appears that in your eyes, the only ones with clean hands are the Syrians, the Iranians and of course Hezbollah who will not settle for anything less than being the Pharaoh of the new Lebanon. And I am supposed to be the one with a dense brain....For if that's not an indication of how much Hezbollah needed to dispose of Shattah, then I guess Lebanon has began its spiral fall into what can only be Hell itself.

  Oh no Activist400000Justice. My comment is only one of adulation and admiration of your higher intellect. You seem to have a mastery of the English language as demonstrated by your copious use of the word "for" as a conjuction. If I consider one rat to be king it would be you. I want to thank you for continuing to post your comments. Without them we're left wondering about the intricate machinations of the middle east politics. But then you come and regurgitate the garbage of the M14 media and their zionist masters and then we all remember what we should be thinking. Go forth my hero "King Rat". :)

  It occurs to me that he was maybe a "leading member of Mar 14" but he was not a "leader of Mar 14." The leaders do not "take moderate positions." He was more expendable for both these reasons: for not being a leader and for taking moderate positions.

  If one was to look for the motives some might have, it's probably those 'many hats' of Shattah and because he 'represented a voice of moderation' that he was picked as a target. It's Shattah's international missions that create a higher probability for upsetting the international establishment against - of course - those who have the least interest in being "witch hunted" by the West: Syria and Hezbollah.
  Who would win on that scenario?
  Those are the murderers.

  Hezbollah denounced this attack immediately. The people who benefit are those in March 14 who want to reject negotiation with March 8 and push harder for the takfiri gangs to terrorise Lebanon as they do in Syria. Shattah was willing to negotiate with Hezbollah and that was a crime that KSA and the takfiri gangs would never allow.

  We blame only Hezbollah for this latest atrocity. But Hezbollah will never openly claim that it carried out the killing. Doing so would immediately turn the entire country against them if Hezbollah admitted to Mohammed Shattah car-bomb participation.
  Let's be realistic about this latest car-bomb event that killed Mohammed Shattah. Hezbollah is the only one that benefits from such a gruesome barbaric assassination. Trust me when I say this. This was a killing done by none other than Hezbollah. There would have been an immediate denial to what happened if it was not, such as Israel immediately denied when Laqqis was killed. It confirms what I said about Hezbollah being the responsible party for we have yet to hear from the sewer rat leader who has the most to gain by Mohammed Shattah death.
  I guess what I previously predicted in reference to Nasrallah's plans for taking over the ultimate leadership of Lebanon has slowly began its course. Let us now see which other prominent Lebanese figure that is equally an anti Hezbollah personality will become the Sewer Rat's next killing target..

  Dear Sir, the only people who killed this man is the Saudis who are part of 14 March, and nobody else,as per today Hezbollah does not have the need to do such acts, Hezbollah are not the ennemies of Lebanese from any side, but you people from 14 March are at the sold of Saudis and Israel, you are dogs of Zionists, Hezbollah is fighting Israel, hezbollah is against the Big Israel project,but you people of 14 March are ready to sell all Lebanon for that project, we saw who is financing in Syria, i think that Saudis and Qataris are in the 1st place. We saw how Saudis are going and coming to Israel, we can see how Tripoli is full of Salafists. Is it Hezbollah who brought them in Lebanon? Is it hezbollah who is using arms to send to Al nosra true Lebanon borders? Is the takfiris are in south Lebanon?
  Then please next time don't talk because you are an ignorant in politics.

  Verbal diarrhoea at its best above lol March 14 and its terrorist allies like Bandar Bush have no issue blowing up each other when they need it for a political purpose.
  If Hezbollah was in the business of assassinating political rivals, then trust me, there wouldn't be a March 14 politician alive lol But they chose to patiently put up with all this dribble in the name of Lebanon, but this Hariri group has sold out the country to Saudi. They not even allowed to hold elections without Saudi approval, what miserable humans.
  Hezbollah cleared out the fierce JabRAT al Nusra and Islamic State of Suicide Bombers and Beheaders in Qusair after 3 weeks!!! Who are these politicians to them if they wanted to take them out??
  This is clearly the same people who killed Hariri senior, Israel and Sauidi hands all over this. Just watch this space lol

I'm glad I read this article. It confirms to me why I spend so little time viewing this site.
I'm never disappointed in finding every possible logical contradiction, which can sometimes make for amusing cheap journalism. But this is all very offensive and callous when the article covers a vicious act of terror. Knowing some of the people at al-Akhbar personally, I am once again convinced that this is a publication by the mentally confused for the mentally confused.

Once again I respond to those, which I will now call my very own personal critics, for their wonderful name calling. Wow I am truly impressed that I have rattled so many out of their sewers to send me their venomous appreciation for confirming my accurate conclusion about Hezbollah. The fact is that the truth hurts and hurts most those who take up their full hatred against me while by the same token they expose themselves to the rest of us Lebanese.
Before closing…I want to personally thank ‘Anonymous’ and of course ‘hezbeleb’ for making me feel so important. I truly appreciate your kind responses on this (Shattah) issue. It’s not every day that my great analytical comments are so well revered. Thank you very much.

Two points, one particular and one general. The particular point, which follows a comment I made yesterday, is that one would be justified in being more frank than merely to say "why (ex hypothesi) did Hezb'ollah not choose a more representative member of the coalition?" One could say more frankly that the unfortunate and doubtless sincerely lamented Mr Shattah was expendable to the coalition because he was not a major figure, a leader of it. Why did Hezb'ollah (again, ex hypothesi) not choose a leader of the coalition, or even several of them?
The more general point is this. The West has spent a number of years trying to refocus the hatred its people originally felt against al-Qaeda, onto Shi'a, and indeed the West is now, we may say, 'officially' allied with al-Qaeda against Shi'a. But what few understand is that the entire terrorist program of assassinations is counter-productive in exactly the same way Mr al-Amin is describing here today. It has never been rational, from a revolutionary point of view, to assassinate anybody except direct military adversaries, in which case the term 'assassination' is not really appropriate, though the enemy will of course still use it, since the enemy never recognises guerrilla warfare as 'legitimate' in terms of its own inter-governmental 'laws of war'.

Assad has already asked Hezbollah for major assistance in Syria. Despite Israeli propaganda and the like, Hezbollah is a small organization as is it's military fighters, many of whom are part-time lay people. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the US and Israel among many others are doing whatever they can to undermine and destroy Hezbollah. As such, it is doubtful that Hezbollah would run again to Syria's aid and assassinate a Lebanese leader who was critical of Syria, and acquire more enemies and open yet another front. Assad and possibly Israel are the more likely culprits and benefactors here. Assad did little to defend Lebanon, just a few yards away when Israel was bombing it unmercifully, so it is Assad who owes Hezbollah a great debt for its assistance in the war in Syria and not the other way around and that is why I don't believe Hezbollah would benefit from making such an assassination. Assad should go but Hezbollah is not to blame for all of Assad's dastardly deeds and I now for a fact that Hezbollah is critical of Syrian politics and tutelage, but is also caught up in them. I didn't read the article, I'll read it know.

I commend Ibrahim al-Amin, editor-in-chief of Al-Akhbar, for his opinion hits the nail right on the head. Mr. Shattah's assassination benefits only one group and one group alone. It is Hezbollah and every single person in Lebanon whether friend or foe, knows this. Hezbollah together with Syria murdered Hariri. This fact has already been proven. Thus anyone that's a Lebanese personality opposing Hezbollah, I say to them, check your cars before you get into them and make sure that the people who protect you are indeed your supporters. Otherwise what happened to Shattah may well happen to you. Like I said, we all know that Hezbollah and Hezbollah alone benefits from such murders. lets not give these Sewer rats the opportunity to do more damage to our nation.

Berri: Saya Khawatir Tokoh Syiah Lebanon Jadi Target Teroris Selanjutnya

Ketua Parlemen Lebanon mengatakan, musuh sedang memanfaatkan konflik internal yang terjadi di negaranya. "Saya khawatir target selanjutnya para teroris di Lebanon adalah tokoh-tokoh Muslim Syiah," ungkapnya.

 

Situs berita Al Manar seperti dikutip Fars News (31/12) melaporkan, Nabih Berri, Ketua Parlemen Lebanon mengaku khawatir rencana musuh di Lebanon saat ini sedang dijalankan. Ia mengatakan, "Situasi Lebanon yang diwarnai konflik internal dan saling melempar tuduhan antara satu dengan yang lainnya adalah kesempatan yang baik bagi musuh untuk melakukan peledakan-peledakan beruntun dan fitnah mazhab."

 

Berri menambahkan, "Saya khawatir target selanjutnya dalam list terorisme adalah tokoh-tokoh Muslim Syiah, pasalnya Ahlu Sunnah sekarang sedang berusaha membalas kematian Mohammad Chatah. Rangkaian teror ini akan terus berlanjut sampai perpecahan di antara Muslimin semakin besar dan saling bunuh semakin meluas."

 

Nabih Berri dikabarkan meminta Ahmad Al Baalbaki, Pejabat keamanan Partai Amal untuk meningkatkan kewaspadaan dan kehati-hatiannya di tubuh partai itu sehingga setiap bahaya yang mengancam para pejabat dan tokoh penting dapat dicegah.

Terkait krisis politik dan tidak terbentuknya pemerintahan Lebanon, Berri menjelaskan, "Setiap pemerintahan yang berkuasa tanpa kesepakatan nasional, baik pemerintahan itu netral ataupun dipengaruhi kelompok 14 Maret, bagaimanapun juga ia akan menghadapi ancaman-ancaman berbahaya."

Ketua Parlemen Lebanon menegaskan, "Kepentingan nasional mengharuskan sebuah pemerintahan komprehensif terbentuk di Lebanon yang juga bertugas mengawasi pelaksanaan pemilu presiden pada waktu yang ditentukan." (IRIB Indonesia/HS)

Hizbullah, Lebanon mengecam pengkhianatan yang dilakukan terhadap Syeikh Mohammad Rashid Qabbani, Mufti Ahlu Sunnah Lebanon dan menuntut dilakukannya pengawasan keamanan khusus untuk mencegah terulangnya kejadian serupa.

Situs berita El Nashra seperti dikutip Fars News (31/12) melaporkan, Hizbullah mengecam keras unjuk rasa yang dilakukan terhadap Syeikh Qabbani ketika ia hadir di Masjid Kashogji, Beirut lokasi dilakukannya shalat jenezah salah seorang korban aksi teror Jumat lalu.  

Hizbullah mengatakan, "Penghinaan terhadap tokoh agama dan mazhab adalah aksi yang tidak terpuji. Perbuatan semacam ini asing dalam budaya masyarakat dan Islam, pasalnya budaya masyarakat serta Islam menghormati ulama dan menempatkannya pada posisi khusus."

Ditambahkannya, "Mufti Ahlu Sunnah Lebanon memiliki kedudukan agama serta nasional, dan merupakan salah satu simbol rakyat Lebanon. Unjuk rasa ini adalah upaya sebagian pihak untuk menyalahgunakan darah syuhada ledakan teror Jumat lalu."  

Sejumlah pendukung gerakan Al Mustaqbal dan kelompok 14 Maret, Ahad (29/12) menggelar unjuk rasa di Masjid Khashogji ketika dilakukan shalat jenazah Mohammad Al Shaar, seorang pelajar sekolah Hariri, korban ledakan teror di Beirut.

Blogger Asal Saudi Arabia Diancam Hukuman Mati

By Aris Rakhmat Gumilar on December 26, 2013

 

AishaNews.com - Blogger asal Saudi Arabia terkena ancaman hukuman mati. Ia dituding telah melakukan apostasi atau murtad terhadap ajaran Agama Islam.

Aparat berwenang menangkap Raif Badawi pada bulan Juni 2012 lalu atas tuduhan mengotori ajaran Islam. Ia juga dituduh menyebarkan pandangan liberal melalui situs web Free Saudi Liberals.

Badawi tela berkampanye tentang pandangannya mengenai kebebasan setiap orang memilih keyakinan, yang ia kampanyekan sejak tahun 2008.

Badawi dijatuhi hukuman 7 tahun penjara dan hukuman cambuk 600 kali pada saat itu oleh pengadilan kriminal Jeddah. Lalu pengacaranya mengajukan banding.

Sidang banding tersebut akan berlangsung dalam waktu dekat ini. Ensaf Haidar, istri Badawi mengatakan, salah satu hakim merekomendasikan sebuah pasal tentang pemurtadan. Dan saat ini istri Badawi dan tiga anaknya tinggal di Lebanon.

Dalam berita yang telah dilansir CNN, istri Badawi mengemukakan bahwa Badawi telah dijatuhi hukuman mati. Namun kemudian ia mengklarifikasi bahwa hukuman mati adalah jika hakim memberlakukan pasal tentang apostasi.

Peristiwa ini telah mendapat perhatian Amnesty Internasional. Sebuah organisasi yang mendorong penegakan hak asasi manusia tersebut menuduh Arab Saudi telah membungkam kebebasan berkreasi dan ekspresi yang telah memenjarakan aktivis. 

Tanpa Ampunan, Pangeran Saudi Akan Dieksekusi Mati

• Monday, 30 December 2013 05:36

IslamiaNews - http://dunia.lintas.me/go/islamianews.com/tanpa-ampunan-pangeran-saudi-akan-dieksekusi-mati

Putra Mahkota Salman yang juga Wakil Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Pertahanan telah mengintruksikan pembersihan jalan untuk memuluskan eksekusi seorang pangeran yang didakwa telah membunuh seorang warga negara Saudi. Hal ini ditetapkan setelah ayah korban menolak memaaafkan pembunuh yang dilakukan oleh seorang putra kerajaan tersebut."Syariah harus diterapkan untuk semua tanpa terkecuali ," kata Pangeran Salman dalam sebuah pesan kepada Menteri Dalam Negeri Pangeran Muhammad bin Naif.

Menurutnya, tidak ada perbedaan antara besar dan kecil, kaya dan miskin. Yang kuat itu lemah di hadapan hukum Allahsampai korban mendapatkan hak-hak mereka dari pelaku, sementara yang lemah itu kuat sampai hak-hak mereka dilindungi. "Tak seorang pun diperbolehkan untuk mengganggu keputusan pengadilan itu. Ini adalah tradisi negara. Kami berkomitmen untuk mengikuti Syariah," ucapnya tegas.

Menurut sebuah laporan yang dibawa oleh sabq.org menyebutkan, bahwa penjaga Dua Masjid Suci Al-Haramain, Raja Abdullah telah mengeluarkan Dekrit Kerajaan yang menetapkan hukuman mati bagi sang pangeran jika tawaran rekonsiliasi antar keluarga gagal. Otoritas daerah diperintahkan untuk memediasi antara kerabat korban dan pembunuh. “Tetapi jika mereka menolak, orang tersebut akan tetap dieksekusi,”tegas Raja.

Raja menekankan bahwa keluarga korban tidak boleh berada di bawah tekanan apapun, dalam upaya pelaku mendapatkan kemaafan yang berarti pengampunan dari keluarga korban. Pesan Pangeran Salman setelah mendengarkan pernyataan dari ayah korban, bahwa dia tidak siap untuk mengampuni pembunuh anaknya dan bahwa komite rekonsiliasi itu tidak adil baginya. Sang ayah menyatakan bahwa ia tidak senang dengan jumlah yang ditawarkan sebagai “uang darah”.

Warga saudi dan para ekspatriat menyambut baik atas tindakan dan pendapat putra mahkota,yang memberikan mereka rasa percaya diri yang lebih besar dalam sistem peradilan Kerajaan. "Kami senang bahwa Syariah diberlakukan di Kerajaan ini, " ujar seorang warga, menambahkan bahwa hal itu akan menjamin keadilan bagi semua. Dia memuji para pemimpin Arab untuk komitmen mereka yang kuat untuk penegakan hukum Syariah. (Ei/Mzd)

ETNIS PASTUN (AFGHANISTAN DAN PAKISTAN) KEMUNGKINAN YAHUDI

Temuan baru ini mungkin akan menjawab pertanyaan tentang "yahudi Khurasan" yang disebut dalam hadits Nabi Muhammad tentang para pengikut "dajjal" yang terlibat dalam perang akhir jaman melawan Imam Mahdi dan Isa Almasih.

http://cahyono-adi.blogspot.com/2013/12/etnis-pastun-afghanistan-dan-pakistan.html#.UsK9cvteFkg

Selama ini orang-orang wahabi-salafi dan para ekstremis Suni selalu menuduh "yahudi Khurasan" sebagai orang-orang Iran karena alasan sebagian wilayah yang disebut "Khurasan" adalah mencakup sebagian wilayah Iran. Padahal sebagian besar wilayah Khurasan sebenarnya justru terletak di Afghanistan, Pakistan, dan Tajikistan.

Sebuah penelitian dari National Institute of Immunohaematology Mumbai, India, baru-baru ini mengungkapkan bahwa kemungkinan besar etnis Pashtun (etnis terbesar di Pakistan dan Afghanistan) berasal dari keturunan dari salah satu "10 suku Israel yang hilang" (lost tribes of Israel).

Seorang ahli genetik India telah mengambil sampel darah dari orang-orang Pashtun Afridi di Lucknow, utara India, untuk dibawa ke Israel untuk mencocokkannya dengan DNA orang-orang yahudi Israel. Dibutuhkan waktu sekitar 12 bulan untuk memastikan hal itu. Israel diketahui aktif melakukan penelitian terhadap suku-suku terpencil di berbagai negara untuk menemukan "10 suku Israel yang hilang". Mereka adalah bagian dari 12 suku yang berasal dari keturunan Nabi Yakub (ayah dari Nabi Yusuf), yang bersama-sama membentuk satu bangsa Israel. Namun seiring dengan terjadinya banyak pertikaian antar suku-suku Israel serta penjajahan bangsa-bangsa asing yang berujung pada pengusiran orang-orang yahudi dari Palestina oleh bangsa Romawi, 10 suku bangsa Israel kini tidak diketahui keberadaannya.

Pengambilan sampel darah di area Malihabad, Lucknow, disebabkan wilayah ini diyakini sebagai wilayah yang cukup aman untuk dilakukannya penelitian yang dianggap sangat kontroversial bagi orang-orang Islam tersebut.

Shanaz Ali, seorang peneliti senior India, akan mengepalai penelitian yang dilakukan di Technion Israel Institute of Technology di Tel Aviv.
Saat ini diperkirakan terdapat sekitar 40 juta orang etnis Pashtun di seluruh dunia. Di antara jumlah itu sebanyak 14 juta tinggal di Afghanistan dan 28 juta berada di Pakistan. Wilayah utama mereka terutama berada di daerah perbatasan kedua negara yang bergunung-gunung, namun juga cukup signifikan jumlahnya di kota-kota besar Pakistan seperti Karachi.

Beberapa suku Pashtun dipercaya masih memelihara keyakinan bahwa mereka adalah keturunan dari "Anak-anak Israel". Menurut legenda, mereka adalah keturunan dari suku Ephraim tribe yang diusir dari Israel oleh bangsa Assyrian pada sekitar tahun 700 sebelum masehi.

Bukti-bukti keberadaan pemukiman yahudi telah ditemukan di Herat, dekat perbatasan dengan Iran, dimana ditemukan kuburan kuno yang terdapat batu-batu nisan bertuliskan hurup dan bahasa Hebrew. Di ibukota Afghanistan, Kabul, bahkan terdapat sinagog (tempat ibadah umat yahudi) kuno yang tidak lagi digunakan.

Navras Aafreedi, peneliti utama yang melakukan penelitian tentang "suku-suku Israel yang hilang" mengatakan bahwa penelitian tentang DNA orang-orang Pashtun ini bisa menjadi sumber konflik sosial yang serius di era modern.

SELAMAT DATANG 2014, SELAMAT DATANG TAHUN PENENTUAN

Saksikan, saya pengikut dajjal.

http://cahyono-adi.blogspot.com/2013/12/selamat-datang-2014-selamat-datang.html#.UsK_JPteFkg


Tahun 2014 merupakan tahun penentuan beberapa hal: presiden dan regim pemerintah Indonesia mendatang, kasus Bank Century, kasus Hambalang, presiden Turki mendatang, nasib mantan presiden Mesir Mohammad Moersi, dll. Namun tahun 2014 bisa jadi juga menjadi penentuan beberapa hal yang yang lebih serius: konflik Syria dan kemungkinan perang saudara jilid II di Lebanon.

Seharusnya pemilihan presiden Indonesia tahun 2014 menjadi perhatian utama kita semua. Namun saya (blogger) tidak melihat adanya peluang lain dari terpilihnya Jokowi sebagai presiden Indonesia mendatang. Sangat menyedihkan, karena kita bakal dipimpin oleh seorang pemimpin yang sama sekali tidak diketahui kapabilitasnya, setelah terungkap semua prestasi yang disematkan kepadanya ternyata rekayasa kosong belaka.

Saya baru menerima komentar pedas dari seorang "pengagum buta" Jokowi.

"Jo kakeyan cangkem!" Jangan banyak bicara, katanya.

"Memangnya banjir dan kemacetan gampang diselesaikan?" tambahnya.

Lho, bukankah dalam kampanyenya dahulu Jokowi menjanjikan kepada rakyat Jakarta seolah masalah-masalah tersebut mudah diatasi? Lalu bagaimana juga dengan mobnas Esemka, Kartu Jakarta Sehat, kartu Jakarta Pintar, dan program-program pencitraan lainnya itu? Kenapa dahulu tidak jujur mengatakan bahwa program-program tersebut sangat sulit untuk direalisasikan? Dan kini, setelah semua kegagalan tersebut ia justru melenggang kangkung menuju ke kursi RI-1.

Omong kosong apa lagi ini? Kalau hanya sibuk mengurusi rehabilitasi Waduk Pluit dan itupun tidak selesai-selesai, lalu apa lagi yang bisa dibanggakan untuk menjadi bekal pilpres mendatang? Persoalan yang dihadapi Indonesia sangat-sangat rumit. Lihat mudahnya saja: jaringan supermarket raksasa Indomaret dan Alfamart yang menggusur pada pedagang kecil di kampung-kampung, kemacetan di kota-kota besar karena keberadaan kartel otomotif (asing dan kroni-kroninya di dalam negeri) yang mempengaruhi pemerintahan, serta penguasaan lahan strategis secara massif oleh asing dan kelompok-kelompok tertentu. Dan itu masih belum seberapa.

Bila kita mau berfikir sedikit saja, gelar walikota terbaik di dunia yang ternyata palsu, sangat tidak cukup meyakinkan untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah mendasar di negeri ini.
Pada penghujung tahun ini berbagai peristiwa penting terjadi: penyidikan korupsi kroni-kroni PM Erdogan di Turki, rangkaian serangan bom bunuh diri di Lebanon dan Rusia, penumpasan oposisi Irak, aksi-aksi demontrasi menentang pemerintahan Ukraina dan Thailand, ketegangan Laut Cina, tuntutan pengungkapan konspirasi Serangan WTC, ketegangan Shiah-wahabi di Yaman, dll. Ditambah dengan konflik Syria yang belum juga menunjukkan titik akhir, hal-hal itu sudah mengindikasikan dengan sangat jelas bahwa tahun 2014 akan menjadi tahun yang sangat keras.

Namun di antara semua itu, saya berpendapat perkembangan di Lebanon merupakan sesuatu yang paling menarik. Setelah kegagalan "proyek Syria", zionis internasional dan sekutu-sekutu regionalnya kini mengarahkan sasarannya ke Lebanon dengan mengincar salah satu pilar perjuangan anti-Israel, Hizbollah. Bagi zionis internasional, kehancuran Hizbollah akan menjadi hadiah yang jauh lebih berharga dari jatuhnya pemerintahan Bashar al Assad. Dan karenanya tahun 2014 tampaknya dunia akan menyaksikan kembalinya perang saudara di Lebanon.

Semoga saja hal ini tidak sampai terjadi. Hizbollah dan Iran pun telah cukup bijak untuk tidak menanggapi provokasi lawan-lawan mereka di Lebanon, meski kantor kedubes Iran telah dibom dan juga serangan-serangan bom yang ditujukan terhadap Hizbollah termasuk pembunuhan seorang komandan Hizobollah. Atas semua serangan-serangan itu Hizbollah dan Iran hanya menudingkan jarinya ke Israel dan orang-orang takfiri, sama sekali tidak menuding negara ataupun organisasi dan kelompok politik tertentu. Sebaliknya, lawan-lawan Hizbollah dengan cepat menudingkan jarinya ke Hizbollah dan Iran ketika terjadi serangan bom yang menewaskan tokoh anti-Hizbollah Mohammad Sattah, Jum'at lalu (27/12), bahkan ketika penyidikan belum dilakukan.

Selamat tahun baru 2014.

IRAN PERINGATI KEKALAHAN PLOT INTERNASIONAL 30 DES 2009 

http://cahyono-adi.blogspot.com/2013/12/iran-peringati-kekalahan-plot.html#.UsK8RvteFkg

Pada tahun 2009 lalu dunia menyaksikan serangkaian aksi-aksi kerusuhan di Iran yang disebut-sebut oleh media massa internasional disebabkan oleh pemilihan umum yang curang. Berlangsung selama berbulan-bulan dan telah memakan korban belasan jiwa, peristiwa yang terbukti kemudian sebagai hasil kerjaan konspirasi asing tersebut berhasil dihentikan oleh satu peristiwa dramatis, yaitu apa yang bisa disebut sebagai "Hari Patriot" atau "Hari Pengertian".

Pawai tgl 30 Desember 2009 yang diikuti oleh jutaan rakyat Iran di berbagai penjuru kota itu menyatakan dukungannya terhadap hasil pemilu 2009 dan dengan telak menghancurkan klaim para perusuh sebagai representasi rakyat Iran yang sebenarnya. Atas kemenangan rakyat Iran atas konspirasi asing tersebut, setiap tgl 30 Desember rakyat Iran selalu memperingatinya.

Pada hari kemenangan tahun ini, Senin (30/12), ribuan orang berkumpul di Masjid Agung Teheran, mendengarkan kotbah yang diberikan oleh Imam Masjid Kazem Sediqqi tentang "Hari Pengertian".

“Rakyat Iran telah mengirimkan pesan kepada dunia bahwa mereka selalu berdiri di belakang pemimpin mereka dan tidak akan membiarkan negeri mereka menjadi korban skenario asing," kata seorang wanita yang turut dalam peringatan hari kemenangan tersebut.

"Pada hari itu (30 Desember 2009) 2 prinsip dalam ke-Islam-an tampak jelas, pertama adalah keberadaan Tuhan dan satunya adalah dukungan rakyat. Untunglah kedua faktor itu berhasil menghentikan perpecahan. Pada hari itu banyak di antara mereka yang telah terlibat kerusuhan akhirnya mengakui bahwa mereka telah telah berbuat kekeliruan," kata Ayatollah M. Qaemmaqami.
  
Sementara itu terkait dengan "Hari Pengertian" tersebut, dalam pertemuan kabinet yang digelar hari Minggu (29/12), Presiden Iran mengatakan bahwa para hari itu rakyat bereaksi setelah menyadari bahwa negara dan agama mereka telah dilecehkan oleh kekuatan-kekuatan asing dan kaki tangannya di dalam negeri Iran.

Menurut Rouhani, "Hari Pengertian" telah menunjukkan kepada dunia bahwa rakyat Iran sangat menghormati kesucian Revolusi Islam Iran.
