    Yes. Increasingly. They still have not rid Tripoli of all the gangs and guns.

    Tripoli is errupting … still … fear among the women that it is ISIS idiots … fear among all Christians that it is ANY idiot ‘militant’ … and fear in all the good citizens, mostly of the sounds of a war against the Army in Tripoli.
    They run from the Army into the old Souks … becomes a foot-war because of the narrow streets of ancient hovels of humanity … the Army hopes to ‘contain’ … citizens cower.
    The battle runs into daylight this time … advantage for the Army.
    I am sure that after watching Syria and Gaza they all feel they should be looking up for the street-widening barrels …..

    A reasonable Mufti ??

    “Shaar defended Islam against the rise of extremist groups such as ISIS, which has taken swaths of land in Syria and Iraq while forcing many to flee and persecuting those who are left behind.
    “This Muslim Shariah forbids us from even cutting a tree but paying much respect to the human being as the creation of God. It also forbids us from violating churches because they were built under Islamic laws.”
    “This Shariah ordered us to preserve the human being, primarily women, the elderly and children, and to apply justice with Christians and Jews as long as they never attack us.”
    “Islam carries a message of forgiveness and embracing of others. … Islam’s Shariah does not stipulate persecution and killing but freedom, justice and equality.”

    The Lebanese refugees … helped by the Army to escape, but none finds food, water, clothing, or a roof for cover … at least, not if they are Christian – if the experiences of my friends are any example.
