I don’t know why they suspected this guy or his car, but having a beard doesn’t mean that you are a terrorist. When I first saw the news on the TL and was told by one of the tweeps (Thanks Bob) that he’s a rapper and social activist, I checked AA’s Twitter account and was almost sure something’s not right about his arrest.
I understand that the situation is critical and that there’s a paranoia over security and safety but there should be proper measures taken when arresting suspects, specially when there are innocent people like Hussein taken into custody for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I hope someone apologized to Hussein after all that.

Here’s a video of one of his performances:

His beard has grown a bit; don’t you think? Also, if I remember correctly a nice crooner named Fadl Shaker has switched off to the other side.
Just saying. 😀
Good point haha! Didn’t think of Fadl Shaker
his beard and appearance is not much different from Hassan Hezbollah’s…
Fadi,
Let’s be fair. The Seyyed has a better trimmer. 😛
He was the keynote speaker at TedX Beirut last year… Very nice guy

I used to roll with him back in college (LAU)… if pope francis is a terrorist then he’s one too… he’s an atheist, and raised Shiite so unless the takfiris have really improved their recruitment efforts, this shit is messed up.
I’m a friend of Hussein and we call him Abu Ali. They did apologize to him but after what? humiliating him and us? – let them show us how “great” they are at arresting a real terrorist…if that will ever happen.

“When I first saw the news on the TL” TL as in Tele Liban???
