Qabbani Returns from Saudi, Says 'No Crisis' with Mustaqbal
Upon his return to Lebanon from a several-day visit to Saudi Arabia, Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani on Thursday denied the presence of a “crisis” between the Mustaqbal Movement and Dar al-Fatwa, Lebanon’s highest Sunni Muslim authority.
“There is no crisis, this is a crisis of newspapers and articles and a crisis of gossips,” Qabbani said, when asked by reporters at the Beirut airport about the “deterioration” of his relation with the Mustaqbal Movement.
Tackling the controversial issue of the financing of the U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the mufti said “Lebanon and the Lebanese government should finance the STL, as Lebanon should be the first country to fund it given that the crime happened in Lebanon, and it’s not true that we have changed our stance. Our stance is steady.”
Qabbani also denied that he had met former premier Saad Hariri in Saudi Arabia, noting that he was “constantly occupied with the conference” and stressing that “communication is not severed with anyone at all.”

A debate with you is like a duel with an unarmed person with special needs. It is easy but also heart breaking.
You, on your own, successfully illustrate the problem with your kind... So, please keep posting!
