This is insane… as a response to the movie insulting Prophet Mohamad (PBUH), protestors in Tripoli have burned down one of the KFC restaurants in the city! What kind of logic is that…?!

Lebanese specialties by L’Orient-Le Jour
I just found L’Orient-Le Jour is making a video series around Lebanon to introduce people to the Lebanese specialties from Sfiha Baalbakiyyeh, to Kibbe Nayyeh, Moujaddara and much more.
The last video was published yesterday about Halewet El-Jeben, a specialty from Tripoli, and featuring Abdel Rahman Hallab’s grandson, Zaher Hallab.
You can check the other specialties on L’Orient-Le Jour’s YouTube Channel. They’re all in french of course…
Myriam Klink – Antar
Just what we need! Now let’s try to convince her, Nancy Afiouni, and Lara Kay to hit the streets in Tripoli and other conflict areas of the north, and see how the raging men there will quickly ease their tension!
This lady is hilarious!
You can shower me with your comments about the lady in niqab being free to celebrate and dance the way she pleases at the beginning of this video, but I’ll still find her funny!
Update:
It turned out the woman is actually mentally challenged. My cousin who lives in Tripoli confirmed it to me and claimed she’s from an area there called “Abou Samra”. You can also read Azmi’s input on the matter in the comments section.
Photo of the day
A Lebanese soldier runs after a man who has stolen his rifle at a street that divides the Sunni and Alawite neighbourhoods in Tripoli. Source
What a shame! This scumbag deserves to be chased by a tank that runs over his body a thousand time!
Thank you @jeanassy
So who didn’t protest in Lebanon yet?
Have you been keeping track of the protests being called for lately? Insane, it’s like the country is all “3ayif 7alo” these days!
Jal el-Dib residents resume protests over lack of traffic alternative
EDL workers hold protest in Beirut
Nurses warn of escalation if demands unmet
Lebanon public transport workers hold strike
Bakers still threatening strike unless prices cut
Protesting teachers scuffle with police at Grand Serail
And last but not least, the mother of all protests in Tripoli that has been turning the city into a mess since Saturday.
The solution to traffic jam in Lebanon
These people found the ultimate solution to traffic jam in Lebanon, set up an Arguileh and share it with people around while stuck on the highway. Better yet, want to avoid fights during the wait? Add some Bekaai made “tobacco” to it!
Thank you @krikOrianm
This is just sad
I just watched the most aweful thing about the clashes taking place in Tripoli right now, child fighters. The below video from LBC shows a 12 years old kid holding an AK-47 and admitting he’s participating in the fights to “protect” his neighborhood. Disguting!
One of the kids told LBCI that he is fighting to defend his region, adding that he knows how to use a weapon and shoot. The kid said that he will not go to school tomorrow unless things get back to normal in Tripoli.
Huge photos directory of Lebanon
You’ve got to check this old photos directory of Lebanon by the digital documentation center at AUB, which I discovered through one of Sietske’s latest posts. It has more than 12,000 photos categorized by location (Mohafaza and Qadaa), and you can easily spend hours browsing them!
Confessions of Lebanese taxi driver
Here’s one epic taxi driver. In just less than 30 seconds he managed to tell two Norwegian actors about his dream, almost crash into another car, and of course curse at the other driver!
The two actors are actually Jorgen and Matias, who over a period of 3 weeks shot a web series of 14 episodes while walking across Lebanon from north to south, and in each episode they chose to walk for a different cause, thus the name of series “Walk of Causes”. You may check the series website here, and their blog here.
