Assir accuses Hezbollah, Amal of dictating Shiite decisions

Share:

During a rally in Sidon in south Lebanon, Salafist cleric Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir accused Hezbollah and Amal Movement leaders of dictating Shiite decisions and stressed that his people want to live in peace with all sects, including Sunnis, Shiites and Christians.

He accused Hezbollah of trying to create hegemony in Lebanon through the use of its arms.

“Hezbollah is deliberately trying to create hegemony in Lebanon through their arms,” Assir said.

He also accused Hezbollah Movement of being behind the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

He also lashed out at Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah for “disrespecting the Lebanese people by saying that May 7 was a glorious day.”

On May 7, 2008 gunmen led by Hezbollah took over West Beirut and tried but failed to take over Mt. Lebanon following a government decision to shut down the party’s telecommunications network and replace the security chief at Rafik Hariri International Airport because of his alleged ties to Hezbollah.

Four Hezbollah members were indicted by the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon for being behind the murder of Hariri who was assassinated in a massive car bomb in downtown Beirut on February 14 2005.

Lebanese Army units deployed in Sidon amid concerns of security incidents in the coastal city, and strict security measures were implemented to maintain calm ahead of the rally. Interior Minister Marwan Charbel personally headed to the city at around noon and held several meetings.

Assir, a staunch opponent of Hezbollah, has held frequent protests in the city to criticize the Assad regime and the support it enjoys from Hezbollah.

Charbel said earlier Sunday that the security forces will do their best to preserve security in Sidon and keep things under control.

He stressed that the Army and security forces will deploy heavily in the city to prevent any unrest.

    Will any one listen and come to the same conclusion. Hezbollah is behind Rafiq Hariri assasination on orders from Bashar Assad himself and full cover and support from syiran intellligence who were still in Lebanon in 2005, in fact Hezbollah is behind every single assasination and attempt to assasinate of all those opposition  figures and MPs in Lebanobetween October 2004 till the lastest assasination of Wissam AlHassan on october 19 of this year.

  7. This clearly shows that Hezbollah is nothing more than a terrorist and criminal organization. They say they protect Lebanon from Israel. Yes, at one time and no longer needed. But, they have transformed themselves from a liberation group to a full fledged terrorist organization, mainly to appease those who are willing to support them with cash and arms – Iran and Syria. And they use those arms against Lebanese – Christian, Sunni, Druze and yes, even against Shiites.

    As long Hezbollah exists, no one will be save in or outside of Lebanon. They will create havoc, terrorize and kill those that go against them. God help you Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir and your people, who want peace. You truly deserve peace like anyone else.

  9. a couple of weeks ago assir 15 year old son was pulled over by police for driving daddy’s car without a license? what did assir do? he came down with his men brandishing weapons and held a gun to the policemans head and told him to let him go…During a rally in Sidon in south Lebanon, Salafist cleric Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir accused Hezbollah and Amal Movement leaders of dictating Shiite decisions and stressed that his people want to live in peace with all sects, including Sunnis, Shiites and Christians….before that when the shiites were putting up posters for their ashoura his men came down and started tearing them down then brandished their weapons and started firing…2 of his men died and a 17 year old kid died who was standing in front of his dads shop…..are they going to start tearing down xmas trees now as well?

    1.  When you criticize all sides equally then you will be taken seriously but until then you are nothing but a sectarian with an agenda.

        And what do you call yourself. I mean for Gods sake Preview. Either you don’t know what you wright. Or somebody else does the writing for you. You are always the first to blame one side.

        1.  Then you must have a hard time comprehending English because I have never supported any faction over another. I have supported CIVILIANS over ARMIES definitely but never supported any so called “leader” over another.
          Now if you are going to make accusations then please provide proof. Thank you in advance and have a nice day 🙂

        2.  Btw it is obvious you don’t comprehend English very well because it is WRITE and not “wright”. No need to thank me for that free English lesson 🙂

        2.  “.as for iran who are we to tell a population of 85million”

          If that said country is interfering in Lebanon’s internal affairs then the Lebanese have every right to a “population of 85 million people what to do”!!!

          Interesting how you refer to the people from the south as “people” but you refer to sunni muslims as “salafis”. lol

      Pretty sure you have heard of this Lebanese saying – “2el mael bi jorr 2el mael wal 2amal bi jorr 2al sibaen”.
      When HA run around like thugs and get away with what they want, whats to stop other people from doing it. I’m not saying that I agree with what Assir did, but how can you blame him when HA went to the heart of the airport and escorted that criminal sayyed from the legitimate authorities to his safehouse????? How can you blame Assir from tearing down posters when HA go to the heart of the Druze paradise to spy on Jumblatt??

      I hope you understand why we need a strong national army and why HA should disarm!
