Al-Qaeda has reportedly called on its operatives to go to Lebanon and defend what it called the Sunni community of the country.
The report came while some Arab media outlets described the current clashes in Lebanon as a fight between Sunni and Shia communities.
In an interviews with Sunni clerics with links to Saad Hariri's pro-government bloc, Al-Arabiya TV network described the ongoing clashes as a sectarian strife.
Sheikh Ali al-Jozo, Mufti of the Jebel region, who is well known for his harsh stance against Hezbollah told the TV network that the clashes are a battle between Lebanon's Shia and Sunni communities and called on Arab leaders to prevent "Iran's influence in the country."
The TV network reported that al-Qaeda on all of its websites urged its operatives to defend the Sunni community of Lebanon.
The reports came while in interviews with NBN and al-Manar TV stations on Thursday, a number of Sunni clerics said that the clashes are not a sectarian strife and many Sunni Muslims in Lebanon support Hezbollah.
Good deal.
We should just sit back and wait till there all fighting them bomb the hell out of the assholes.
I was going to say the same thing but I was afraid.
BTTT
Except that there are a lot of Christians who will be caught in the crossfire...
Pop the Popcorn.
Let the bastards kill each other.
Can this get any better?

Getting their butts kicked in Iraq, now finding they are outcast, prey on a weak country, Lebanon should just close their borders and let Syria pick up the debris.
It seems to me that the correct action by the international community on this one is...nothing.
Ping...answered prayers?
Is popcorn kosher?
beer-check
lawn chair-check
throat lozenges for laughing very hard-check
"Al-Qaeda, ready to fight?"...... Hezbollah, you ready to fight?...
Let's get it ON!!!!
Their friends, the democRATic party and its leader, Barack Hussein.
First, Al Quaeda will need Syria’s help to infiltrate Lebanon. I doubt that Syria will help them fight Hezbollah, its ally. Second, Lebanon’s Sunni population is one of the most educated Muslim populations in the world. I doubt very much they will allow Al Qaeda in. Of course, if Hezbollah continues its aggression, who knows?
Welcome to the Middle East: Where the Enemy of Your Enemy is Your...Enemy.
