It’s a Trend! Politicians Can Now Savage their Religious Leaders

Samir Geagea: (Maronite, Lebanese Forces)

[Patriarch Rai] is subjecting the position of Christians to danger by pitting them against others […] Is it reasonable for the Patriarch of the Maronites to have the same position as [Wiam] Wahhab, Russia and China? How can he justify this position?

Mou’in El Merebi (Sunni, Future Movement)

[Mufti] Qabbani is an impostor, an illegitimate occupant of a position that belongs to Muslims

I welcome this trend. A religious man who deals with politics should expect the stink of politics to follow him. But there are still some rules: You can only criticize your own religious leader.
