It is sad when Music becomes a form of artillery for terrorists to ensight their rage upon; music is a liberator and is there to bring peace into the minds of a people, where conflict is the apparent.

I'm not a fan of Tieesto by any means, but this is really sad to hear. If these people put as much effort into enjoying music or life in general maybe they would realise how ridiculous their 'crusade' is.

Idiots, I swear to God these fundamentalist shitheads do nothing but ruin everything! Thank God the Lebanese, be they Muslim or Christian, will not heed the call of this group as they are fed up with them and will continue to party their night off. Bunch of losers, they need a life, and a job at that.

I love Tieesto's music. Its very sad to hear that terrorists have made him a target. Music should bring out peace and unity. No matter what, I'm going to see his set, if he is coming to Finland again! Don't let these terrorists know you fear them, because then they have succeeded. Terrorism is mostly a psychological weapon! Peace and Unity!

The situation here is very tense, and the fact that Fatah El Islam are threatening Tieesto is just a sign that they are trying everything in their power to destabilize the country even more! Lebanon is a country full of people who want to just enjoy themselves, and for the past year or so, we have not been able to do so, and now this situation has made things far worse, nobody dares to move around alot, the roads are always empty, it's sad. I do hope he still comes, because I intend to go if things calm down, and if they don't, then I can't move from my house. Hopefully our army will be able to deal with them properly.

Sounds like some press hype to me. If they said they were going to kill him because he plays bad music, I'd believe it. Otherwise, I say it's BS.

'The event organizers have also reassured Ya Libnan that no such threats exist.' Look on: yalibnan.com/site/archives/2007/05/ya_libnan_withd.php --> 'Ya Libnan withdraws false information on Tieesto death threats'

I am a Lebanese who lived in Beirut for 22 years of my 28 years alive, and it comes as a shock and humiliation for us Lebanese 2 hear those idiots threatening an artist who brought nothing but love and unity for ppl in his work, but what Fatah al Islam doesn't know is that they don't own Lebanon, they can never get to Tieesto and best of all if they wanna kill him they will have 2 go through the hundred of thousands of Lebanese who loves Tieesto and respect him, don't worry world we will clean Lebanon from those pests and u will rock it on again in Beirut, Beirut belongs to the lover and not the killers
