3:53Now PlayingIn a harrowing act of violence, the 'Soldiers of God,' an extremist Christian paramilitary group, unleashed an onslaught on a Beirut bar, Om Bar Room, during a drag event, epitomizing the escalating wave of hatred and bigotry against the LGBTQIA+ community in Lebanon. The group, notorious for promoting violence and endorsing far-right ideologies akin to those in Europe and the US, besieged and attacked the bar, wreaking havoc on the property and assaulting attendees while bellowing, "This shop is for Satan. It’s promoting homosexuality. That’s forbidden in the land of the Lord." Eyewitness accounts reveal a chilling apathy from the police, who, despite being present during the assault, chose to question the bar owner and attendees about the performance rather than intervene. This latest assault is part of a broader pattern of attacks and heightened anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric from religious and political leaders in a country once celebrated for its religious diversity. This incident lays bare the mounting challenges confronting the LGBTQIA+ community not just in Lebanon, but across the Middle East.
