Ramadan in Tripoli

[fatima_43]

very cute how they live in Tripoli, very simple relaxing lifestyle.. except when the Nusayri feel peckish for a harb

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

Im dying to go to Lebanon

[Abdraheim]

Maybe it's the Sunnis who should be taking up the "harb" n not ignoring their Muslim brothers because they are syrian

[CVM]

Many lebanese sunnis have gone over and are fighting in Syria, not to mention housing refugees in addition to helping to smuggle aid and arms in to Syria but the Lebanese government is just another Bashar supporter so it is not easy... Plus subhanallah a lot of the 'muslims' in Lebanon are very very misguided and more nationalistic then religious..

[Abdraheim]

Mashallah alhamdulillah yes there are some who realise the truth and do their duty. May Allah help to awaken the misguided

[fatima_43]

there's always protests in Lebanon for Syria that's why there was clashes again in Tripoli a few weeks ago because the Nusayris there in Jabal Mohsen couldn't stand it so they hit on bab el tabbaneh

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

There was a protest in Beirut..i think same day we had ours, my fiance wanted to go, but he cant, cause they write their names down who went etc and later on, and then if a person did something, they bring him for questioniong..are you a terrorist, do you know anything about al qaeda and so on. Its a big headache, and just causes alot of problems for the person. If my fiance goes to a protest, the immigration could very possibly refuse his application. So its not like they dont want to go, and be part of it, they just cant unless they're up for all the problems and headaches it could cause. Especially if you decide to go to Syria...

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

And not to mention, shootings amongst the alawis and sunnis, as mentioned by fatima_43, great example, bab el tabbaneh

[Abdraheim]

Why would you write you name down? They had people trying to do that here too people taking names and email addys to keep people "informed"

[Abdraheim]

I wonder how you would find that out

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

well its not necessarily you writing down your name for the petition, there could be spies, asking about who was there etc.

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

lol i almost signed the petition at the protest, i was thinking about signing up, if they approached me, but they didn't

My Husband is from Tripoli and is still currently there waiting for the visa application process. I witnessed a protest when I was there and it was the first time for me that I experienced something like this, I was frightened but for my husband this is something that he has been accustomed too. He is a good muslim and even he said there are many muslims everywhere and he would agree what CVM said above that many Lebanese Muslims are misguided politically and nationally and not religiously.
