No guarantees for equal in Beirut

Ghassan Hajjar wrote in “Al -Nahar”: Yesterday, the Grand Mufti of the Republic, Sheikh Abdul Latif Drian, said that “he is the guarantor of equity in Beirut, so that the city can only live with its Christian and Muslim wings.” Mufti Sadiq Al -Niyah, but he may not have the potential for a reality that was able to preserve him as the martyr President Rafik Hariri, and then his son, President Saad Hariri. After the “silk”, the papers became difficult to verify, and even actual participation. From here, anxious ideas began to be translated into projects and suggestions, which must be taken into account.

Cutting the municipality and dividing it into two municipalities, or the adoption of the parliamentary electoral districts for the municipal entitlement, and other sectarian proposals that, despite its bad deeds, clearly show the concerns that the people are in Beirut, or in a region that witnesses sectarian and sectarian integrity.

Common coexistence, coexistence, or one living, or other loose expressions, which symbolize sectarian and sectarian quotas, not only between Christians and Muslims, but also between Christians and Christians, and Muslims with Muslims, is the essence of the issue, in the country of minorities, some of which have lost confidence in others, and this is an inevitable result of wars and repeated conflicts, and the assessment of each team abroad, And achieving his interests at the expense of the other team.

Taking into account the equivalent or Islamic -Christian partnership, you should find its way to reality, so it does not remain just wishes and promises, which Christians wish. The solution to the texts, not with souls, including the patient who does not trust, and the aforementioned equality may transform a political extortion tool. The solution that must be followed by a quota in a non -city and a village, or by dividing the circles and neighborhoods, so there is no invasion and organized partisan, and a financial invasion that takes advantage of people’s want and poverty.

The solution is perhaps by adopting the Orthodox law so that the seats are devoted according to a quota that is not alien to our Lebanese functional and political reality.

Is this also possible at the remaining time? Certainly no. Do we say goodbye to the face of Beirut, “the ancient city for the future” with a destination based on pluralism, diversity and openness?
