دار الفتوى تعارض مشروع قانون لحماية النساء من العنف الأسري

If these types of sexist pronouncements don't cause women to abandon the religion of the paedophile, I don't know what will...

back to the middle ages....

Although the Law may not be perfect, it is a good start to find a solution to these issues.
Everyone has the right to express his/her opinion, including relegious people as long as they dont cause strife. The most important issue here is to go with the demoncratic process. Does the majority of the people want this law, if so, let it be.

We cannot afford to enact laws based on Halal and not Halal. The only thing this will do is bring us back to the middle ages as in Saudi Arabia.

I wonder what Hezbollah thinks about this law.

from the beginning of my comments in this forum, i am not atheist but against religion and fanatism.
wherever u find religion based politics,u find blood and wars.
religion is a very private matter which should stay at home.
the solution to this calamity is always :CIVIL MARRIAGE.
until our sheiks imams ayatollah cardinals and batrak are against CIVIL MARRIAGE, we will be a filthy confessional religious backward system.

Voilà , that's it !! Now you Lebanese understand the Sunni Wahhaby dogme , imported by Hariri , applied by Mufti Kabbani & co , that are actually at Dar el Fatwa .
This is the Democracy and civilisation they want to impose in Lebanon and on the lebanese !!!
I would like to hear the comment of Dr Geagea and Sheikh Amine Gemayel , the political allies of Hariri and Farouche defenders of Mufti Kabbani and Dar el Fatwa !!
The Christians in Lebanon are fed up with the Saudis Wahhabies and Salafis , this is the real war that is goin on in Syria , in Tripoli and Akkar , done by the same Sunni fundamentalists , that are equipped and financed by the same source , Al Saoud and their slave Hariri .

@ Bigdig / You can wait for a long time to have an answer from Mustafa Ghalayini or any other Sunni , not one single Sunni will ever DARE say NO to his Mufti !! The day this happens , will be the day of freedom and the end of our problems in Lebanon and all over the world coz They are the problem .

Welcome to a brave new world.

SHN:"... I would not deny that HA's wish is to establish an Islamic Republic system one day, because we believes that establishing an Islamic government is the only way to bring stability to a society and is the only way to settle social differences, even in a society that is composed of numerous minorities."

Iran foreign minister: Egypt revolt step toward "creating an Islamic Middle East"

Senior Iranian cleric says uprisings herald creation of "Islamic Middle East"

mufti kabbani and his wahaby masters,hassan and his farsi masters,are helping the alawi regime tighten his grip on bilad el arz,but the results will backfire.
CIVIL MARRIAGE IS THE ANSWER to all our clowny religious leaders.

Eliminate Religions from aspects of the Lebanese lives.. What purpose do these morons surve? .. Religions are based on books of fairy tales....Its a business that feeds on the poor

The mind is a terrible thing to waste, I'm told Le Fini is not a wasteful man but just to be safe he was not supplied with one.

So children seeing their mother threatening their father with prison is horrible but the father who is actually beating up the mother is okay? AND cloning West laws? Seriously?

The Fatwa's opinion won't affect the parliamentary vote.

Hizbullah deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem "we reject the amendments to the penal code proposed by some MPs. These amendments to consider forced marital sex as rape and are to be tried as a crime law contradicts the Sharia law."

to le phenicien the ignorant: the hezb also supports this and agrees with the sunnis on this point!!!

so pls stop your lying here or get lost in dahyie....

Guess who stands behind, in front of and to the sides of Dar Al Fitna? Mafia Hariri and his Sunni Christians, aka lovers of life, freedoms, human rights, women's rights as well as all the lefts and rights... UNTIL NOW that Dar Al FITNA spoke. Hey, Nayla Tueini, Nayla Moawad, Solange Gemayel, Ladies Nadim and Sami Gemayel, Strida Geagea, Battikha Mestwiyeh... WHERE ARE YOU?

I think we can predict with a high degree of confidence that this pronouncement will only encourage "defiance of patriarchal authority".

religions were invented by men to control the people... then men took the religions to make women inferior and shut them up.

"religions are regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false and by the rulers as useful".... (seneca the younger)

just look in lebanon: every ruler uses his religion to make people afraid of the others! to make people think that they are constantly threatened....to divise the country to better rule them! so when the common people only think or behave in terms of religion they forget the real problems of the country!

@wilypagan you mean Catholicism?

I used to be shocked at how Lebanese curse each other in discussion sites on Naharnet. It seemed they were afraid to challenge their worthless politicians, so they challenged each other instead. But the USA has the Israel lobby making things here worse, by comparison, than Lebanese politicians are making things there. And US people are not cursing anyone about this Israel lobby and its disasters--they are just being polite and quiet and well-behaved (applauding when the sign lights up in the television studio). So Lebanon is closer to healthy politics than the US is.

Religions is evil; send those bearded wackos back to the stone age!

I'm with Someone, let's start with this one

Unfortunately its a common knowledge that women in Islamic cultures and societies are second class citizens. Its not politicaly correct to admit it and thats why no one want would publicly admit it. Thats one classical factor as to why the Middle East will always trail the rest of the world. Somehow men are so insecured about their manhood and in order to substitute their insecurity and boost their ego, abuse become a normal way of life for the.

Both M14 and M8 leaders pander to the religious leaders. All praise to the independent Left who are not controlled by Saudi Arabia or Iran.

Comrade Qawmi John, the independent left has left the building. Today it is itself controlled by the guys controlled from Saudi, Iran and Syria. The current crop leftists leaders got their job after the "resistance" whacked all their true leaders who were fighting Israel under the Lebanese resistance banner. But hey comrade Qawmi John who cares as long as we got the ideology and the right rhetoric to go with it we'll help Sayed Hassin with his theocracy. When he does what Ayatollah Khomeini did with his independent left after they helped him topple the Shah, well we'll sing The Internationale as we stand in front of the firing squad smoking our last unfiltered cigarette or as we unsuspectingly open the door of our home in exile to the turbaned assassin with the silencer.

Disgraceful!

Religion has, is, and will always be root to all evil and the reason for Lebanon's destruction.

The law got to pass. We need to protect society from criminals.
