RNA – In a speech, Hujjat al-Islam Ahmad Qabalan, a leading Lebanese Shi’ah scholar said that Lebanon can’t be sold, “Some must understand the fact that we Shi’ahs constitute the largest religious group in this country, but we are the historical group of Lebanon and the first and fundamental partner in everything that happens in this country and from the time of the Ottoman Empire and the French mandate, we shared in the hard and comfortable days and remained in the majority.”
He added, “We Shi’ahs are in the struggle, battle and stability in the majority, but we are among those who liberated the country and guarantee its independence, sovereignty and existence, and defeated the biggest international Zionist occupation and drove it out. We then defeated the onslaught of the largest American international think-tank. We don’t and will never accept any bribe, threat, transaction or visit in the name of selling out the country or the offering of a political gift under any name.”
Hujjat al-Islam Qabalan stated, “Our scholars and martyrs over the past centuries are the biggest reason for our sacrifices on the way to this country. For this reason, we are ready to make bread and we will never accept the sale of the country and some should know that this is no longer news.”
Pointing out that the only truth we believe in is that Lebanon belongs to its people, its people and all its religious groups and that they are the family of a single homeland, His Eminence said, “The country of resistance doesn’t accept that Lebanon is the prey of the Zionists or the Americans or their allies and the people of insight are more aware of the colours of the Lebanese flag.”
Hujjat al-Islam Qabalan stated, “For the last hundred years, there has been no health for Lebanon and the Lebanese who longed for a homeland, a government and citizenship for Lebanon and the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations have never benefited us, especially when we were fighting in front of their eyes and yours. We will only be under the tent of the homeland.”
