Lebanese majority leader Saad Hariri accused the Hezbollah-led opposition of trying to transfer Lebanon into an extremist country, future TV reported Sunday.

"There are some who are trying to change Lebanon into an extremist country," Hariri said Saturday night during an election campaign in north Lebanon.

He said their extremism is not only religious but also political, which aims at the transfer of Lebanon into an arena for others.

Hariri, son and political heir of slain former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, currently heads the Western-backed majority in parliament which accuses the opposition of enforcing Syrian- Iranian influence in Lebanon.

Hariri said though Syrian regime is out of Lebanon, "Syrian symbols continue to carry out its goals in Lebanon," in a clear hint to Lebanon's Shiite political and military group Hezbollah backed by Syria and Iran.

He called for unity of Muslims and Christians and for equality in dividing powers in the country, rejecting what he called a "three-way share of power that some are trying to market."

The Lebanese parliament, which has 128 seats, is divided equally between Christians and Muslim sects including Sunnis, Shiites, Druze and Alawites, according to Lebanon's sectarian- based electoral system.

The ruling coalition, however, is accusing the opposition of trying to adopt a three-way share of power between Christians, Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims, which the opposition denies.

The two blocs -- the ruling "March 14" alliance and the opposition "March 8" coalition -- are escalating campaigns ahead of the parliamentary elections on June 7, which could shape the future of Lebanon for the next four years.
