SIDON, Lebanon: Sidon looks set to join Tripoli with Friday protests in support of the uprising in Syria. A gathering of Islamic religious scholars from Sidon Wednesday urged all Muslims to participate in demonstrations to support the Syrian people, and condemn the use of violence against peaceful opposition groups.
The participants said it was the religious duty of every Muslim to support fellow Muslims. The scholars issued a fatwa demanding that Muslims refrain from carrying out the orders of the Syrian government to murder and violate the rights of peaceful civilians.
The scholars also condemned the Lebanese government for its position on the crisis in Syria at the U.N. Security Council last week, when Beirut disassociated itself from a U.N. Security Council statement condemning the violence in Syria.
