Blast hits Christian suburb in Beirut

Will the Islamophobia never end?

From AP (thanks to Stlreader):

BEIRUT, Lebanon - An explosion rocked a Christian suburb east of the Lebanese capital Wednesday, but the cause was not immediately known, a senior Lebanese security official said.

It was not known if there were any casualties.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, said the explosion occurred in the Sin el-Fil district.

UPDATE: "Beirut car bomb kills anti-Syrian lawmaker," from Reuters (thanks to Davida):

BEIRUT (Reuters) - A car bomb killed an anti-Syrian Lebanese lawmaker and at least six other people in Beirut on Wednesday, just six days before parliament was due to elect a new president, security sources said.

The lawmaker, Antoine Ghanem of the Christian Phalange party, was killed by the blast in a Christian district of the Lebanese capital. At least 19 other people were wounded by the bomb in the busy commercial and residential area of Sin el-Fil.

Several cars were set ablaze and rescue workers carried bodies from the scene in eastern Beirut.

Ghanem, 64, was a member of the anti-Syrian governing coalition which has been locked in a power struggle since November with factions backed by Damascus.

Damn Buddists, always bombing non Buddists.

I don't know why any Christians are left in Beirut. My brother's in-laws left in 1969, before the "Christian annihilation" began, and said it was not easy to immigrate, and even more difficuly now (unless you were a member of Hezbollah during the summer of 2006).

These people are Maronite Catholics who can trace their ancestry in that region for >600 years. St. Louis is loaded with Lebanese Christians, and they, along with some Serbs, Armenians, and Orthodox Jews were the only ones to protest the mega-mosque being built here.

....."but the cause was not immediately known, a senior Lebanese security official said." Oh really? Well it can't be Hezbollah...they are a social club.

It will end when all confess none has the right to be worshiped but allah and mohammad is his prophet.


The Christians OWNED Lebanon and were the majority population for centuries and only let in muslims running from their war with Israel many years back.

They just need to kick them out to any local, muslim nation and take back their country.

This is what happens when any nation allows those fleas inside their borders.
They multiply and murder their hosts who cared for them when nobody else was willing.

This is what you can call muslim "thanks" for saving their lives in times of trouble.

From the article:

The lawmaker, Antoine Ghanem of the Christian Phalange party, was killed by the blast in a Christian district of the Lebanese capital.

Whatever happened to the pro-Syrian Muslim assassins who killed former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri with a massive car bomb explosion, which caused the UN to do a thorough multi-year investigation?

Oh, that's right, nothing.

Nonsense. Clearly it's the Rotarians.

"Well it can't be Hezbollah...they are a social club."

Yeah, like The Anaheim, Asuza, Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review, and Jew Killing Association.

Wow...must've been one helluva "internal spiritual struggle".

Zeno,

I forgot about the Rotarians. I think you are right.

...or maybe he's "celebrating" world "CUD"'s day a little too early?

Hmmm, October 12?
Musta been a dress rehearsal then...

Gleiwitz Alert!

When are these Lebanese Christians going to stop squandering opportunities to build trust with their neighborly Muslim community?

As soon as they do what the "neighbors" want them to do...
leave...submit to slavery status...or DIE.
Nothing complicated about it, as (J)islam knows what's best.
(/sarc)

By the way, is now a bad time to review the abysmal record of "ceasfires" and "peace treaties" (or did I misspell "piss"?) by Useless Numbnuts, Inc. (UN)?

As my fother once said...
"never underestimate the capacity for stupid people in large numbers." (last week's "protests" case-in-point).

lol

I thought Nancy Pelosi was suppose to have fixed all this.

The OTHER "smartest woman in the world"? (or is it "maximum leader" THIS week?)

Are you kidding me? LMAO

The murdered man was a member of the RIGHT WING Phalange according to the press release. What does this term mean anymore??? The expression is beyond quaint and antiquated. And in terms of the Christians of Lebanon, who are rapidly becoming the 'Jews' of Lebanon's total Islamization - a complete inversion of meaning.

Since Pelosis' trip to Damascus to "negotiate" and "engage" with the Syrians, who were at that point being "isolated" by the Americans, Syria has gone wild.

The Syrians were rewarded for bad behavior, and they immediately felt that they were out of the dog house, as the first week after the "thawing" of relations with the US, and the requests for help from Damascus regarding Iraq, the Syrians started rounding up political dissidents, re-established their political assassinations, terror network, and have grown much more bolder.

That's it, way to teach Syria a lesson ! This country is just asking for bible prophecies to be fullfilled, and the sooner the better.

Don't forget Damascus Dennis KOOKcinich and his outright treasonous disparagements.

I'm a little disgusted by CNN's reporting of this event. They are basically burying it with a lot of OJ nonsense, Jena 6, and Muslim sob stories. They are barely reporting it for obvious reasons: This tragedy didn't fit in their schedule, so the heck with making people aware of the menace the human race is facing.

Syria began developing chemical weapons in 1973, just before the Yom Kipper War. Globalsecurity.org cites the country as having one of the most advanced chemical weapons programs in the Middle East.

No, ofcourse,
It didn't fit their agenda...but yes, you're on the right track. To make it front page news is to compromise their allegiance to islamofascism.

It had to be the work of the CIA!

KAOSKTRL:

Islamic terror doesn't end with submission to the will of al-lah either. The Kuran even instructs Muslims to prey on each other's mosques.

The religion of horror's violence never ends.

How can these Dems not understand that there is a war going on and we must win ?

When an ally gets killed, it is a negative for our side.

The whole panoply of Dems are fools, from the irrelevant Clintons to the vicious Carter, from the Stupid Kerry, to the traitor Murtha.

Unbelievable and most unfortunate.

speaking of "jimmah cahtah", see this one?
