AL-MURTADA FROM UNESCO: TERMINOLOGIES THAT CONTRADICT WITH OUR HERITAGE, PROMOTED UNDER GUISE OF DEVELOPMENT & FREEDOM, DENOTE AN ORGANIZED EFFORT TO UNDERMINE SOCIETY’S FOUNDATIONS

Caretaker Minister of Culture, Judge Muhammad Wissam Al-Mortada, patronized today the opening of the “Family Challenges in Lebanon Conference’ organized by the Lebanese Forum for the Preservation of Family and Values, with the participation of the Ministry of Culture, during an official and popular ceremony held at the UNESCO Palace – Beirut.

In his opening word, Al-Murtada stressed that family is not only a religious attribute, but rather it is the distinguishing mark that guarantees the continuity of Lebanon, because it is the most complete expression of solidarity, acquaintance and unity within diversity, and convergence for the sake of building.

‘The dissolution of these values in any society is but a door to controlling and taming it and appropriating its bounties,’ he said.

He continued to consider that what is being promoted in our country in terms of statements or terminologies that contradict with our heritage, under the guise of development and freedom, actually represent an organized effort to strike at the foundations of our society.

However, Al-Mortada asserted that the Lebanese, who throughout history have resisted and overcome many ordeals, particularly when they confronted them in unison, will definitely resist and win when it comes to protecting values, family and familial love.

‘We all know that it is necessary for us to fight this battle with the spirit of the believer that there is no escape from victory, bearing in mind that defeat will bring us down socially and will even threaten the survival of the Lebanese entity,’ he maintained.

It is to note that participants in the conference also highlighted the need for emphasizing the responsibility of the Education Ministry and educational institutions in immunizing members of the Lebanese family through educational curricula, counseling courses and awareness campaigns in which specialists, members of the teaching staff, parents and students participate.

They also called for taking the necessary steps to legislate and amend laws that preserve the Lebanese family system and protect it from projects and programs that do not conform to our Lebanese values.

Likewise, emphasis was made on the role of the Ministry of Information in spreading awareness and developing means that protect against the danger of moral deviations, identifying their manifestations, and cooperating with various social institutions to confront them in scientific and realistic ways, and discouraging the acceptance of such behaviors.
