Shias & Salafis Pledge To Work Together Print E-mail
Wednesday, 20 August 2008

flag_of_lebanon.gifLebanon's Shia Hezbollah and Sunni Salafist groups have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at defusing tension in the country. The deal was inked by Sheikh Ibrahim Amin Al-Sayyed, head of the Hazebollah Political Council and Sheikh Hassan al-Chahhal from the Salafist side at the Safir Metropolitan Hotel in Beirut on Monday.

According to Sheikh Shahhal, the signing of the agreement was approved by the Future Movement, the main Lebanese Sunni party.

The accord prohibits any Muslim group from attacking fellow Muslims and advises against incitements which serve the purpose of enemies seeking to foment discord among different Muslim sects.

Both groups pledged to help preserve natioal unity and defend each other against third party assaults.

Hope the Salafis in the UK take a leaf out of Lebanon's book. They have been called often to initiatives promoting Unity among muslims, but declined. They do not believe in calling people to unity - they only believe in calling people to their version of Tawheed.

That's a malicious accusation Akbar and not one that should come from a good Muslim. Salafis do not believe in uniting upon baatil and for this they must be respected, their stance is most certainly grounded in the Quran and Sunnah.

This was an ideal time for Salafis to outrightly deny what I have written. Instead you have almost arrogantly reinforced the Salafi view.

If Lebanon can change why can't the Salafis in the UK?
