- Why do you think the ISF did not move a finger to provide security for the citizens that got injured?

- Anyone knows more information on the status of the injuries of these people?

I'm more bewildered Seek as to why u treated Majdalani's comments as truth. On the credibility scale, he's way below average. Besides, his story isn't substantiated by any evidence. Why didn't a single media outlet report the incident? what was LBC doing to miss this scoop of launching a new attack on HA, and FPM by proxy ()?

Even more, no interviews with the hospitalized ppl to give Majdalani a little more credibility?

Let's not even talk about how ridiculous sounds the event described by Majdalani. He must have stayed up late and watched one of those totally real american movies.

And as X said, how come no one but Majdalani have reported this, especially if you know that such a news is of the type LF propaganda deadly needs to support its propaganda of an islamization process undergoing in lebanon through HA?

Atef Majdalani is not a credible person, I'm aware of that part. The man once signed a petition saying that he voted for the re-election of Lahoud under duress. He was playing politics, legally this is treason and he would end up prosecuted had we been in a respectable country.

That being said, I don't see why all of you got upset as if opening the thread is supporting Majdalani. The initial post had this question at the end, which you seem to have missed: "- Anyone knows more information on the status of the injuries of these people?"

His story is not substantiated with any detailed facts till now, and maybe he will reveal some facts later. What's the big deal, as if he couldn't pay a couple of people to act like they were attacked. Probably we will have some more news on the issue in the coming days whether through replies from the opposition or more accusations from Majdalani's side.

The second question of the initial post should be a serious issue. But alas.

I personally didn't get upset. But the questions raised made me think u believed his story which triggered my reply.

The story won't be given the light of day IMO, bc of one thing: Majdalni's credibility is subzero.

The second question of the initial post should be a serious issue. But alas.

the second question prequesits the story being true. So how can we discuss something unconfirmed to say the least?

Members were wondering because coming from a person like you who challenges people to prove to him that snow is white, it is somehow questionable and odd.
As for your "Anyone knows more information on the status of the injuries of these people?" it implies that you swallowed the story and you are inquiring abut the aftermath and the state of the injured.

As for defending HA or accusing Majdalani, it is not the issue. If indeed some people were attacked, we look at the perpetrators and we overlook the ISF that is supposed to protect people?
That incident reminded me of the FPM boy who was beaten next to MP habib house by some LF thugs while the ISF guy was watching. I personally, as a citizen and a mother, would feel more secure if the ISF dudes go home.

Well for the news that Majdalini said, i didn't see it, not even in LBC.
My friend in this forum we always stood against firing after speeches, you can search the archive and you will find that we didn't make any difference between FM or HA.

[Genius]

of course shooting during any event is bad from all sides Militant.

I was just refering to Majdalani, how he chose only to mention something that might have happened in Monot, and say nothing when his sides are doing terror.

The fight might have happened ... Does not mean all people in the camp and opposition are bad, neither all FM supporters .. if some of the supporterd did shoot

I am simply asking the politicans to point fingers to anything wrong regardless of the political affiliation to build a better country.
politicians are acting worst than babies !!

you made my day really interesting story
no complaint at the FSI
no names just the truth spoken by majdalani
something he did not see and was reported to him
because he is hiding from the criminals who obliged him to vote to lahoud
very credible source indeed

Majdalani the protector of the christians in Ashrafieh.
PATHETIC

Yes akid they will report what he said but that doesn't prove that he is right! Since the incident was reported on the night of 12-13 april why didn't LBC report it that day and had to wait 3 days for Majdalani to talk about it?
