A new phenomenon unveils with the death of another young man from Beirut. Muhammad Al Sha’ar may very well prove to be the new Bou Aziz of the Lebanese Media at an age of sweet 16 this young martyr would have accomplished a miracle in the local media which was heavily occupied in dirty local politics for a long time…
The media coverage of the death procession of Muhammad Al sha’ar at his school in Beirut was emotionally touching and moving enough to summon the conscience of youth from all over the world to join in mourning him in an act of sympathy with Lebanese youth who lost touch with the their reality, He, Al Sha’ar along with several of his friends had a dream to join the MBA, he was a talented basketball player, he also liked to watch Harry Potter, perhaps he wanted to compensate his bitter reality with some magic, very much needed magic in the lives of Lebanese youth who are all but victims of the occupation of Lebanon by either foreign powers or alien ideologies imported from neighboring and regional philosophies.
May this new calamity be an illumination of our endeavor for a better future for our youth all over the world and may the death of Muhammad trigger the change needed to bring peace and stability in the region.
