One man's "protest"
Adnan Hajj would be proud!!
It looks like it's a busy morning in Lebanon right now. Very interesting, in fact. Hezbullah is beginning their "expansion" of their "open-ended protest," to couch the debate in the terms used by a wholly sympathetic press. Of course, true to their form, their "protest" seems to have entered the traditional "violence phase," but let's not let silly little things like that define them for who they are.
(To the press, "rioting Muslims" is not immediately synonymous with "violence" for some strange reason. That type of terminology only applies to certain politically-unfavoured groups, it seems.)
There's no doubt in my mind that this is a calculated riot intended to re-capture the Western press's attention, and it is orchestrated by a group of people whose singular goal is the total Islamification of Lebanon. Of course, much like our anti-war Western counterparts, there are a handful of useful idiots mixed in the bunch to give a veneer of validity, who will be sorely disappointed when Nasrallah turns the tables on them.
Most of the photos that have come across the wires so far are indistinguishable from your average Palestinian violence, so for the moment, I'll refrain from posting all of them. You'll find the most interesting ones from the bunch beyond the break, though!
