Why did the President of Lebanon celebrate the release of Kuntar and the others?

Question

Does that mean he supports the Islamist group Hezbollah? isn't he a Christian?

Answer 1

it is always complicated my friend..

in my opinion..dont even bother worrying about it

coz its politics and when u have politics, there is NO RATIONAL THINKING!

Answer 2

There is no religion in politics. Even the Islamic fanatics doest always go by the Holy Koran when they make political decisions

Answer 3

1- The prisoners are Lebanese and so is the president, well duh!

2- I'm pretty sure the president supports them and so does 60% of Lebanese Christians.

I mean you dont have to be a Christian to hate them, there are some Christians and Muslims who hate them but there are others who don't hate them :)

The problem in Lebanon is not about religion, thats what some of you people dont get. its all about politics.

And as a matter of fact if they "14 March" hate Hiz. why did all of their political members celebrate the release of the prisoners?!

Answer 4

i dunno lemme call him and find out.

yea i got his # and I know him, in fact we went clubbin' the other night

Answer 5

it has nothing to do with religion, Israel has killed many Lebanese and Palestinians.  As for the allegations of him killing a child, it could be true or the israelis can be bulshiting just like they have done before and gotten caught with the smoking gun.  Ehud barak killed my uncle in the 70's and everyone has blood on their hand, except the israelis have more towels to wipe their hands with cause they only press buttons.   Both sides are ****** up if you ask me, but hey you got to stick with you family.

Quote from ehud barak "If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I'd eventually join one of the terrorist organizations."

See he would jump one terrorist ship for another

Answer 6

Its difficult to get prisoners from Israel, its celebrating a start of the possibility of a more peaceful middle east.

Answer 7

Because as you say he is the president of Lebanon, and Kuntar is  Lebanese and he was captured by the enemy of lebanon.

It would be strange if he hadn't, not that he has.

No it doesn't mean he supports Hizbollah, it means he supports Lebanon. his job is to be fair and unbiased ( unlike Lahoud before him) and not support either side.

And I think he is so far doing an excellent job at it.

Yes, he is Christian, are you implying that this should be a reason not to govern fairly?.

Answer 8

I think he is trying to be a uniting figure !!!

Or he could just be practicing for the release of the Lebanese prisoners from Syrian prisons
