New Argument Against Ground Zero Mosque: Parking!

Hizbullah, Ahbash Officials Killed in Fierce Armed Clashes in Burj Abi Haidar

Three people were killed in fierce armed clashes between members of Hizbullah and partisans of the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (Al-Ahbash) in the Beirut area of Burj Abi Haidar on Tuesday evening.


Police told Agence France Presse the fighters were using shoulder-launched rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns in the fighting, in which several other people were wounded.

The state-run National News Agency said Hizbullah's official Mohammed Fawwaz and his bodyguard Ali Mohammed Jawad were killed in the fighting.

Media reports said an Ahbash official was also killed in the clashes.

"A personal fight between a supporter of Hizbullah and another of Al-Ahbash erupted just after 7:00 pm (1600 GMT) in Beirut's Burj Abi Haidar neighborhood and escalated into a firefight in which two men were killed, one of whom has been identified as a supporter of Hizbullah," an army spokesman said.

"The army has intervened and is trying to restore calm in the area," he said.

But what was behind the fighting?
Was it clan rivalry?
Maybe they found another Israeli spy?

Nope.

Witnesses said the clash began as an argument between Fawwaz and supporters Al-Ahbash over a parking space near a mosque frequented by Al-Ahbash.[emphasis added]

I just hate it when people lose it on the road and start taking out the shoulder-launched rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns!

In the interests of peace, pleeeease move the Ground Zero Mosque to someplace with lots of parking.
Albany, maybe???
