What Lebanon Can Teach the U.S. About Religious Tolerance
adminUncategorisedComments are off for this post

David Samel from huffington post, 

 

 In Beirut, a recent event, under-reported in the United States, provides a dramatic contrast with the New York controversy over Park51, an Islamic cultural center planned for lower Manhattan. According to Ha’aretz, Lebanon’s largest Jewish synagogue has been saved from the wrecking ball and beautifully restored to its past glory.

The Magen Avraham synagogue had fallen into disrepair during the Lebanese Civil War of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Located in the city center, the synagogue was in danger of being demolished in favor of urban renewal. However, Beirut’s tiny Jewish population decided to save and renovate the structure, and received the approval not only of the Lebanese government but specifically of Hezbollah. The Islamic party, announcing its support, proclaimed: "We respect divine religions, including the Jewish religion."

حديث النائب فريد الخازن الى صحيفة الخليج الاماراتية
                                                                       
"إدارة التحرير" استطلاع ذكرى حرب تموز 2006
                         
بيروت- "الخليج"
 
الدكتور فريد الخازن:
 
الحرب التي اندلعت في تموز 2006 بين اسرائيل وحزب الله كانت حتمية نظراً للوضع الهش الذي كان قائماً في جنوب لبنان منذ الانسحاب الاسرائيلي في العام 2000، وهو وضع كان مفتوحا على الصدام العسكري، اذ لم يكن يفصل بين الجانبين اللبناني والاسرائيلي سوى شريط شائك، فلا اتفاقات ترعى الموقف هناك، ولا قوات دولية، ولا أي شيء آخر.
 
وقعت الحرب فخاضتها اسرائيل حرباً شاملة ومدمرة زجت فيها الامكانات العسكرية الضخمة، وراهنت على تحقيق هدفها كاملاً، اي سحق حزب الله، في تكرار لتجربة العام 1982 حين استطاعت اسرائيل ان تخرج منظمة التحرير الفلسطينية من لبنان، ولكن مع فارق أن هدف حرب 2006 كان إخراج حزب الله من قدراته العسكرية. فشلت اسرائيل فشلاً ذريعاً وغير متوقع في حساباتها بتحقيق هذا الهدف وأفضى ذلك الى تدخل مجلس الامن لايجاد وضع جديد من خلال اصدار القرار 1701 وتعزيز قوات الطوارئ الدولية الموجودة اصلاً في الجنوب ونشر الجيش اللبناني في المنطقة الحدودية، واليوم فإن الوضع يختلف جذرياً عما كان عليه في 2006 بوجود دولي فاصل بين الجانبين . بالنسبة لاحتمالات الحرب الآن، فانني اعتقد ان حزب الله لن يعطي اسرائيل ذريعة لحرب جديدة، وسيكتفي الحزب بمراقبة الوضع والاستعداد لصد أي عدوان جديد إذا حصل. وكذلك في اسرائيل فإن الوضع اختلف ايضاً، اذ بعد رهانها على أن حرب 2006 ستكون الأخيرة على الجبهة اللبنانية، بحيث تنهي حزب الله عسكرياً، تفاجأ القادة الاسرائيليون بعدة عوامل، أهمها ان حزب الله يمثل شريحة شعبية كبيرة، وليس مجرد تنظيم عسكري يتمركز في ثكنات، وان مقاومته العسكرية طوال 33 يوماً كانت استثنائية وغير منتظرة، وثالثاً، تفاجأوا بقدرة الحزب على استهداف الداخل الاسرائيلي بقوة.

Forget LeBron: The real king of South Beach is Rony Seikaly

Forget LeBron: The real king of South Beach is Rony Seikalym And you thought this was the Summer of LeBron? More like Summer of Seikaly.

Jim Weber, LostLettermen.com:
.Here’s a look at the current whereabouts of former Syracuse star Rony Seikaly:
Former Syracuse star Rony Seikaly was dubbed "The Spin Doctor" during his basketball career for his spin moves in the paint, but it’s an even more fitting nickname for his new career: Spinning turntables. Said Seikaly of the nickname: "It’s funny how it came together, but people are loving the fact that was my name as a basketball player as well."
That’s right, the 6-foot-11 former college star and NBA big man is now a DJ. Don’t believe us? Check out his website or watch him in action yourself. He’s even signed with Subliminal Records and will release a new floor-friendly tune every month starting in July.
Having a hard time remembering Seikaly’s playing career? Let’s refresh your memory. Born in Lebanon, Seikaly grew up in Greece and got his big break at a summer camp when he caught the attention of a young Boston University head coach with an eye for talent named Rick Pitino.

Condolences continue to pour in after Fadlallah’s death

Officials in Lebanon, across region pay their respects
By The Daily Star 
 
 
Fadlallah was Lebanon’s man in full
By Rami G. Khouri 

Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, Lebanon’s most influential Shiite Muslim leader who died in Beirut this past weekend, was a marja, or a source of emulation for Shiites, during his lifetime – just about the highest achievement a human being can attain in this world.
 

It would be doing Fadlallah a disservice only or mainly to see him as a gifted Shiite religious figure. His great achievement, I believe, was to provide a living example of the combination of the best qualities that any Arab or Muslim could aspire to in this era of great mediocrity, corruption, materialism, mindless violence and abuse of power throughout much of the Arab world.

Pope Welcomes Beatification of Lebanese Priest
VATICAN CITY, JUNE 27, 2010 (Zenit.org).- After praying the Angelus today with the crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square, Benedict XVI welcomed the beatification in Lebanon of Stephan Nehmé, a religious of the Lebanese Maronite Order. "I heartily rejoice with the Lebanese brothers and sisters," the Pope said, "and I entrust them with great affection to the protection of the new blessed." Archbishop Angelo Amato, the prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes, presided at today’s beatification liturgy in Kfifan.

Stephen Nehmé (born Joseph) was known for his constant awareness of God’s presence in his life. He was born in March 1889 in the town of Lehfed, in the Jbeil district, as the youngest of seven children. In 1905, two years after his father’s death, Nehmé entered the novitiate of the Order of Maronites, in the Monastery of Sts. Cyprian and Justina in Kfifan. On Aug. 23, 1907, he made his monastic vows, taking the name Stephen after the patron saint of his birthplace.  Father Nehmé died Aug. 30, 1938, at the age of 49, of natural causes and was buried in the monastery at Kfifan, where his body remains intact.
