(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) David Schenker - Sectarian tensions between Sunnis and Shiites in Lebanon have been palpable for some time and are on the increase. Sunni fundamentalism is on the rise, especially in the north, in places like Tripoli and Akkar, where it appears that al-Qaeda is taking root. Likewise, the Lebanese government's recent decision to legalize the Sunni fundamentalist pro-caliphate organization Hizb ut-Tahrir is also a source of concern for Lebanese Shiites. It appears that the Sunnis in Lebanon - consciously or otherwise - are preparing for an eventual conflict with Lebanese Shiites. As a minority among a sea of Sunnis, a perceived need for protection may be part of the calculations in why Hizballah opposes disarmament. 2006-07-07 00:00:00Full Article
