Lebanese newspaper, An-Nahar: their methods of sectarian agitation
The sectarian-Christian, right-wing, racist anti-Syrian (people), anti-Palestinian (people), newspaper, An-Nahar, which is witnessing its last waning days, is distressed because Michel `Awn has been criticizing Nayla Tuwayni, who is running for a parliamentary seat in Beirut in alliance with Samir Ja`ja` (Ga`ga` in Egyptian accent). So to discredit `Awn, the paper today linked his name to the name of `Ali. This is very much like how white supremacist publications used to discredit certain candidates for office by implying that they are "nigger lovers." An-Nahar and its Christian supremacists here want Christian voters in Beirut to think of `Awn as Shi`ite lover.
