The funeral of 16 year old Mohammad Chaar, who was posing for a group “selfie” in front of the car moments that exploded in Starco, took place yesterday at the Khashoggi Mosque in Beirut. However, a brawl erupted when Grand Mufti Qabbani showed up at the mosque, and security forces had to intervene to take him out safely.
Whatever the reason is behind this brawl, it was a shameful act and a highly disrespectful one to the family and friends of the victim. The last thing they needed was someone turn their child’s funeral into a joke.
Here’s a nice [tribute] to Mohammad prepared by his friends.
We are all Mohammad Chaar

Disgrace is the right word. There seems to be nothing sacred anymore.
I couldn’t agree more. It was incredibly disrespectful to use and appropriate his death. I felt so sad for his family and friends being stuck in that situation.
It’s disgusting that even a grieving of a young man’s death should be used for political ends. I blame Qabbani. It seems he was not invited; but decided to join in. Screw you brother…and screw all other idiots who got baited by the bearded jagoff’s stunt and created a mayhem!
Happy Healthy & Wealthy New Year to all.
