Why didn’t the Qur’an’s peaceful teachings that are so obvious to every Western non-Muslim politician elude the attention of Ahmad Al Assir, a man who has devoted his life to understanding Islam properly?
“Lebanon: Extremist cleric sentenced to 20 years of hard labour,” by Aya Iskandarani, The National, August 31, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Hardline Sunni cleric Ahmad Al Assir has been sentenced to 20 years of hard labour by Lebanon’s Military Court on Monday, eight years after deadly clashes between his supporters and the army in the southern city of Sidon threatened to spill into sectarian conflict, state media said.
Al Assir was convicted for his involvement in a 2014 attack in north Lebanon that killed two Lebanese soldiers, arming the hit squad that carried it out and inciting the killings, the National News Agency said.
The military court stripped Al Assir of his civil rights and fined him 51 million Lebanese pounds ($124,000 at the official exchange rate but $2,684 at the current market rate).
He was sentenced to death in 2017 for inciting attacks on the army in 2013. An appeal against the sentence is pending.
Al Assir gained prominence after the onset of the Syrian civil war in 2011 for supporting Syrian rebels and speaking out against Shiite Hezbollah and its involvement in the conflict. Clashes between his supporters and the army sparked fears of Syria’s war spilling into sectarian battles in Lebanon. He accused Hezbollah of instigating the fighting….

Inciting murder and arming a hit squad? How crude, though still so much in alignment with the Islamic theological blueprint.
Subtler Muslims (hey, per Mo himself, “war is deceit”) know that such things as demographic jihad and a deception like kitman (deceit by omission) are the far shrewder way for Mo’s followers to eventually make all the world the dar al-Islam and with no dar al-harb left at all.
Different strategies. But same goal.
Some more effective than others but with the same “design” in mind. Take notice, dhimmis, that is if you can, which so many of you so far are still woefully clueless of respecting what Islam intends for all of the world, with a “special venom” for the freest societies on Earth, all created by Western Civilization (even in such “locales” as India, South Korean and Japan).
Liberty and Islam. Completely incompatible. Averring otherwise is either evidence of significant deceit or massive ignorance. No third “option” here.

Correction: “South Korea” and not “South Korean.”

“Inciting murder and arming a hit squad … n alignment with the Islamic theology.” Yes, it is.
About 60% of Koran is the rant that kafirs worship incorrectly and the Muslims must fight, kill and enslave them. The Koran’s 164 jihad verses SOLICIT VIOLENCE, TERRORISM, MURDER AND ENSLAVEMENT.
Correct again, Wellington claims Islam and liberty don’t mix. The very name ‘Islam’ means ‘submission’, a euphemism for enslavement. Muslims use the word ‘slaves’ to apply to Muslim believers in Allah and Mohammed. No one is as submitted as a slave.
A large part of Sharia law manuals (by quantity of text) is the sections on SLAVERY. It is clear from the Sharia law manuals that slavery is a VERY IMPORTANT PART of the Islamic system.

Muslim cleric convicted of inciting murders and arming a hit squad
………….
No! Really? sarc/off
Note that the reason he has been jailed in Lebanon is not because her is a Jihadist, but that he is a Sunni Jihadist, and so opposes Hizb’allah, the Shia Jihadists in control of Lebanon.
Infidel says
Precisely! This is one of those shi’a vs sunni Alien vs Predator battles, so it’s not like one side is in the dark about the jihad fantasies of the other
One thing Lebanon teaches is how easily a country can be flipped from sunni to shi’a amongst its muslim population

Reply to GI: “Muslim cleric convicted of inciting murders and arming a hit squad.”
Indeed, many mullahs have their own clandestine hit squads. When the hit squads taking instructions from the mullah take action against blasphemers and dissidents, the mullahs say ‘NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM’.
Mullahs try to maintain a certain separation between themselves and the ‘HISBAH’ hit squads for the sake of plausible deniability. This mullah got caught.

You are not wrong, Mortimer.

Note that you don’t find Rabbis, or Ministers, or Gurus, or Buddhist Monks with hit squads.

These types of reports tell us almost everything that needs to be known about islam. You never get reports about the holy men of Christianity or Buddhism calling for people to go out and murder people, at least as far as I know about. With these Muslim clerics, their version of holy men, they never seem to be doing anything but calling on and encouraging their followers to go out and murder people. Islam is such a vicious, evil and totally violent religious ideology. Islam’s holy men are more like Mafia bosses than they are like the peaceful holy men of other religions. islam is a disgusting, evil religious ideology. It is well and truly time that Islam, this disgusting, evil boil on the bum of mankind, was thrown into history’s garbage bin. Anyway, I hope this piece of crap enjoys his 20 years of hard labour. A sentence that is well deserved.
Kashyap. says
Exposition of Muslim mindset.

I don’t know the internal breakdown of the Lebanese Army by religion but I hope this decision and the one in 2017 do not cause any internal friction. Hopefully these decisions continue and not just because the victims were Lebanese soldiers.
