Mufti Qabbani lead prayers in the Basta mosque that was set ablaze during clashes:

Political differences are legitimate in our democratic system, but they should remain within political boundaries and not spill out into the streets [...] It is our duty to unite our word and join our ranks … among brethren in one homeland

I don’t think the Mufti should have gone there. His visit, as a religious sunni leader, emphasizes the sectarian nature of the clashes. It sends a not so helpful message: “Sunnis are standing together in face of the Shiaa assault”.
