Explosion rocks a Restaurant in Tyre for serving alcohol

Share:

An explosion Wednesday rocked the southern port city of Tyre, causing only material damage and no casualties, Lebanese police said.

A two-kilogram bomb made of TNT went off near the seaside Tyros restaurant, which serves liquor, the police said.

On November 16, a similar blast took place near the Queen Elissa Hotel. There were no victims in that attack and no one has claimed responsibility.

Alcohol is not banned in Lebanon, but in areas under the control of the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and extremist radical Sunni movements liquor is not allowed.

New Year’s Eve parties

Voice of Lebanon radio station (93.3) said that the attack was aimed at forcing restaurants in the city at cancelling New Year’s Eve parties.

Tyros’ owner, Zuhair Arnaout, told LBC TV that a banner advertising the New Year celebrations that he would hold on the weekend was torn off on Tuesday.

He said security forces launched an investigation but the explosion took place the next day.

Arnaout insisted that he will fix the damage, go ahead with the celebrations and serve alcohol.

    What a bunch of nasty filthy hypocrites. The way i see some Muslims drink alcohol, is like the way i drink water. Not lying, if you dont believe me all you have to do is go to the “Skybar” in downtown Beirut and youll see Muslims taking shots of Vodka on the bar.

      I have the biggest party every month with my Muslim friends and they laugh at me and say I do not drink enough.
      Man up they say as they drink a bottle or two of wine each. You should see the way the girls drink, that ends up been great for me at the end of the night because I have to take them home and mistake their house for mine ooppps.

    In Gods eyes Jews  can not drink alcohol but I guess the Christians have a more open minded God that lets them drink also why God lets some Muslims sects do the Mutaa marriage [Temporary] that can last as long as half an hour depending on the guys mood then divorce her ,and would not let Catholics to divorce what so ever, I am really puzzeled.

      good point, the pleasure marriage for shiite is a good debate, as I watch this program about many ladies in iran going to the local mollah or imam to complain about husbands going for Mittaa marriage , one of them actually opened the dorr only to find her 45 years old man having sex with 16 years old as Mutaa , so imn the eyes of God having the Mutaa marriage or legal prostitution is not bad as having a glass of wine ? the porblem with Koran every occasion can have an Ijtihad or Tafsir, it depends on the mood . IN Lebanon it is a lossing battle, as all the middle east the fanatasicm and the ignorance is winning, not long before the people will curse the day they revolt in Egypt,Tunisia and Syria, as dictatroship will be replaced with iranian style goernmement where the Sheikhs wll rule and have sex with all houtriyat while the regualr people are put in jails !!!

        Mut3a is considered prostitution by muslims as a whole.

        Marriage is supposed to be forever, you don’t go into marriage with the intention of divorce or for the sole purpose of sexual gratification, this is true for Islam as much so as Judaism & Christianity. 

        There are genuine reason for divorce, however when a divorce is planned before marriage, it makes a complete mockery of this sacred union.

        The morality & health & social dangers of promiscuity are very clear.

          shia sect is deviated from true teachings of islam that’s why they still follow this backwards barbaric practice.

    They bomb Christmas in Nigeria, and New Years in Lebanon. Is this for something they won’t do, or can’t do? Jealousy?? No-one is forcing them to drink.

        AGREE, Hypocrites can be found anywhere & everywhere in the world. Should we judge Christianity by the few child molesting priests, or right wing extremists or LRA etc…..

        We reject this, because it does not do justice to the many good & decent Christians in the world & we understand that they are as disgusted / offended by this as we are. 

        I dont ask that Islam be put on a pedestal, I just ask that people respect the sanctity of Islam as you would any global religion. Comment all they like but attacking Islam or muslims collectively based on the craziness of a small few reveals the critic to be little more than a bigot & hypocrite.

        BTW before these crazies attack christians or jews or shi’tes or others, the first people in their scope is always muslims. i.e. Fatah islam –> Minniyeh (100% muslim).

          @guss39:disqus  Just because this is done by people that claim to be Muslim does not make it Islamic! In same way paedophile priests do not represent Christianity!I assure you a criminal that is muslim is no more or less criminal than a non muslim one. One’s religion has no bearing on his criminality! Saying otherwise makes you a bigot even opens the way to legal prosecution in USA, Australia & UK. 

          In my comment I was very respectful of christianity & REJECTED THE NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES. You on the other hand have dedicated your comment to attacking Islam, who is the intolerant bigot here?

          BTW My fathers wife & her entire family, which is Catholic drinks & in my uni days I once worked at a hotel where I stacked beer into a fridge, but I do not, nor have I ever drank alcohol. You may not be able to understand, but we actually joke about this! Also not all Christians drink!

          There are fanatics on both side of the line clearly you are one of them! 

          Next time you want to engage me in a discussion, give the XXXX a miss & reach for the ginger beer, loss any more brain cells & you will be babbling like our good friends dab or leo!

          Have a happy new year, don’t drink … & drive , be careful on the roads and may we all have a safe, happy & prosperous 2012.

          loool you are so right….it only reflects their bigotry and hypocracy.

          what you commented here, i have always said along, to the same pple but they still go back and attack the religion…. i am sick of their idiocy and i am disappointed that the moderators seemed to take a holiday because it is one thing to attack the actions of different pple but allowing this site to be a pedestral to attack islam should be unacceptable.

        What Misguided Moslem you are talking about  , is cutting the Clitoris in Sudan and Egypt for girls is Obeying Koran?!!! did God order the multilation of women, is Qatar and Dubai and Egypt and Tunis and Morroco and Algeria where Acohol is allowed , are all these country misguided.Since the major difference between the Christianity and Moslem religion is opposite to Moslem we belive God gave the human free will to chose as Moslem believe that all is ” MOussayar” by God intervention always, if this is so, dont you think that God would have prevented the human from creating Alcohol!!!! and would not need you to defend the Moslem in this forum !!! ye she would have for sure, God made th grape and allowed the human to enjoy with moderation, excessive drinking and alcoholism is defiently a sin to the human body and God but am not here to judge on God behalf especially when me and all human beings are all sinners !!!

    Good for you Arnaout ! do not let the terrorist intimidate you into conforming to their ways, this is how freedoms and democracies die. If they don’t like Alcohol , they don’t have to drink it. (but chances are they are drinking it in private anyway)
