    Rabih Baaklini, 30, a Christian, said that he came under fire when his car was stopped at a militia checkpoint: “As we tried to pass, masked gunmen leapt out around the car. I panicked and tried to flatten the accelerator, but hit the brake instead. We all dived to the car floor as the men shot at us. A bullet scraped my jeans and landed in the gearbox. They pumped 16 bullets into the car. It’s a miracle we survived.”

    Mr Baaklini added: “I am Christian, but the neighbourhood I am from has Shia in it. I heard them talking among themselves over my ID, saying that I was Shia.”

    Other residents in Beirut reported seeing militia checkpoints. “They were so aggressive. My friends had to prove they are Sunnis so that they would let us pass,” said a French resident who encountered a checkpoint in south Beirut with her car full of Lebanese friends. “It is as though Lebanon suffers from a reflex: whenever there is trouble, revert to the sectarian behaviour of the civil war in the 1980s.”

    Ne surtout pas oublier que ces miliciens qui filtrent les voitures pour ne laisser passer que les sunnites et exécuter les chiites sont nos amis pro-occidentaux, pro-américains, pro-indépendance et tout ça.
