The religious leaders of Lebanon's Druze and the Sunni communities highlighted Tuesday their rejection of any strife between the two groups after extremists killed more than 20 Druze in north Syria.
“We will not allow any strife to take place between Muslims, because if it happens then no one can handle its consequences,” Grand Mufti Abdel-Latif Derian said after meeting Druze spiritual leader Naim Hasan in Beirut.
The meeting came one week after militants from Sunni fundamentalist groups killed at least 20 Druze men and women in the village of Qalb Lozeh in Idlib, northern Syria.
