These freedom fighters starting groups are a legitimate reaction to the Shiite terrorism against Sunni and Druze in May 2008.

If the Lebanese Army was to protect Tripoli, Beirut, West Bekaa and Mount Lebanon against the Iranian-Shiaa invasion: This starting Lebanese liberation movement wouldn’t be needed.

Lebanon is for Lebanese and won’t be an Iranian province: That is for sure!

wow sam…

could you differenciate between sect (Shia) and nation(Iran)??? You sound quite phobic!! It would be tragic to know you live in the West among moslims, Hindus, Christians of all denominations and have them as neighbors, friends and associates…and yet when it comes to Lebanon the racist in you jumps out!!!

ali,
unlike hezbollah, these people are defending there area, who you call “terrorists” didnt invade, terrorize and burn media outlets so dont take the high stand.

i dont support any militia in lebanon, but in the same time i dont blame the sunni’s, druze and christians from arming to prevent any armed adventure hezbolla will take in the future.

the only reason hizbolla invaded w.beirut because he new that the people living there where not armed and he will not face any resistance.

if you want to live in peace with your fellow lebanese, you need to learn equality, that includes arms, justice and even paying your electricity bill. when shit hits the fan and america eventually cuts HA of from mother goos iran, it will be matter of time till HA militia crumbles, and you will be left with your ego.

To Danny
The Persian-Safavid Revolutionary Guard terrorist organization participated in the invasion of Lebanon in May 2008. Iranian speaking terrorist where seen and heard in Beirut and Mount-Lebanon helping Hezballah Elite fighters groups spreading terrorism and chaos in Lebanon.

I am proud to be patriotic and loyal to my country Lebanon.

If I am opposed to Iran terrorist actions in Lebanon, you call me racist?! If that’s the case: I am proud to be one!
