One killed in Lebanon protest over anti-Islam film

Share:

One demonstrator was killed and two others were wounded in clashes with security forces in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Friday in protests over a film insulting the Muslim Prophet Mohammad and against the pope’s visit to Lebanon.

A security source said the man was killed as protesters tried to storm a government building. Earlier, a U.S. fast food restaurant was set alight. Twelve members of the security forces were wounded by stones thrown by protesters, the source said.

The U.S.-made film has sparked violent protests in Libya, where the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed, and in Egypt, Yemen and Sudan and there are fears the demonstrations could spread to other Muslim countries.

The protests coincided with Pope Benedict’s arrival in Lebanon for a three-day visit.

Lebanese security forces had earlier opened fire after protesters torched a fast food restaurant in Tripoli and threw rocks at a state building, shouting anti-American slogans and chanting against the pope’s visit to Lebanon.

A Reuters journalist at the scene saw hundreds of protesters dodging gunfire and teargas as they hurled stones at security forces in armored vehicles. Protesters chanted “We don’t want the pope,” and “No more insults (to Islam)”.

        You approve of Hisballah? let’s see In May of 2007 when Hezbollah took over west beirut several sunnas were killed and others where beaten and cursed. Many Sunnis complained that Hezbollah members cursed them and cursed guess who “The only and only Prohphet Mohamed”. were where the sunnis demonstrating against that? where are the sunnas demonstrating and ripping off the syrians embassis across the world after so many innocent Syrians and old and very young died from the Syrians Gov’t brutal attacks? why these muslims who are protestng are being hypocrites? When Brotherhood killed many copts and burned their churches did you see Christians across the world protesting and burning Mosques? maybe the guy made a bad movie and insulted the prohphet. But you guys insult Jesus and burn churches on regular basis. You kill in the name of Allah as if Allah belongs to you or something? the fact is Prophet mohamed advocated killings and marrying more than one wife is a big sin by itself. Who gave the rights to take womens freedom and subject people your backward beliefs? If you guys pray 5 times a day and nothing good comes out of it oher than evil and killing..what do you really expec normal human beings to believe in such religion? the muslims world is blind even the ones who don’t kill.. they just go with the flow. Finally Al Qaada working for Iran and Iran is helping Syria. Nobody is happier about these events other than the tripple X’s of Iran, Syria and Hizballah. look the last few days nobody talking about Syria and that’s exactly what the demo’s and violance were intended to accomplish. Today Syrian troops using Explosives on demonstrators in Hamas. where is the muslim world protesting that??
