We Don’t Want No Damn Political Parties With Us

March 19, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Imad Bazzi on how the anti-sectarian movement reacted to AMAL’s attempt to join them:

The activists retorted to this absurd claim of support by printing photos of politicians on banners asking them to step down. One of the politicians is Nabih Berri, head of the Lebanese parliament for an uninterrupted 23 years

That should take care of chasing them away. Here’s another idea: Print posters of Karl Marx, Che Guevara, Gamel Abdul Nasser and Antoun Saadeh with big red Xs on them to indicate that the movement has no ideological roots either.

Read the whole article, Imad writes a nice roundup of the anti-sectarian movement and their future plans.
