The Islamic State (ISIS) terror group has eyed Lebanon since the jihadists captured Syrian areas and towns along the border. Lebanese Christians are forming self-defense units for an inevitable invasion as the terrorists attempt to spread their caliphate.
"We are a minority and we are under threat by the jihadists," claimed Rifaat Nasrallah, one of the commanders for the volunteer guards in the Greek Catholic town of Ras Baalbek. "It [the defense units] wasn't the idea of anyone in particular. The whole village felt in danger so we all agreed it was necessary."
The International Business Times reported the Islamic State threatened to “crucify Lebanon’s Christians.” There are 2.4 million Christians in Lebanon, which is 20% of the population. One anonymous diplomat told the Times if the terrorists did crucify a Christian it would “set Lebanon alight.” Ras Baalbek is home to 15,000and is only 11.5 miles from Arsal.

A Nobel Peace prize for our glorious leader
Lebanon needs demuzziefication.
If one Christian even looks at a Muslim jihadist in the wrong way, liberals will be calling Christians the real terrorists.
Onward Christian Soldiers!
The entire planet needs it.
Time for the next crusades. It’s us verses them, who do you want to win?
Lebanese Christians should be making plans right now for arming and seizing a section of Lebanon where they are in greatest number. Time to declare a Christian nation of their own
The Lebanese Christians appear to grasp the whole 2nd amendment need. If you aren’t armed, then you get to die.
There was sporadic fighting in the Lebanon too with I.S. couple of months ago.
They’re probably going to have to fight Hezbollah at the same time.
Don’t think so. Although Hezbollah is an Islmist grp, it is also considered an “indegenous” grp in the Lebanon. I.S. is very foreign by comparison.
sorry, spelling on my mobile: “indigenous”
I have a friend who is an Armenian Christian. His grandparents moved to Lebanon just ahead of the Armenian Genocide. Lebanon was a Christian country then. Later when muzzies moved into Lebanon and became the majority, his parents moved the family to Massachusetts. Everywhere muzzies move in turns to a cesspool.
The entire world does.
Not going to happen. Most everyone is for themselves. They just want someone else to deal with it. And that's how the liberals have neutered this country.
Prayers offered up.
If Ted Kennedy can help funnel money and weapons to the IRA, certainly Americans can and should help send these people money and weapons as well.
Glad to see the Christians of Lebanon beginning to arm themselves!
