In 1980, about 60% of Lebanon was Christian.
That number is in the 30%-45% range now.
It would also be misleading to believe there is political or economic solidarity among the many different Christian populations.
The office of President of Lebanon used to be reserved for a Christian.
Apparently, that office has been unfilled for many years because of several assassinations.
Thanks for the info.
The Christians have been in the minority since the 1960s at the latest, but there’s not been a census since 1932, so it’s gone by estimates. The muzzie population has been divided into multiple factions, such that the Shia come in several major drifts, including the foreign occupation by Iran’s proxies, the very ones making this trouble.
It’s ironic, because they’ve been in alliance with the largest Christian faction for a long while, knowing that they share common enemies among the Lebanese muzzies, as well as the Syrians who started to take refuge in Lebanon as far back as the 1950s, and even the “Palestinians” [sic] who are divided among Sunni, Shia, and Christianity.
The Druze are an offshoot of Shia Islam, but have their own thing — for instance, they believe in reincarnation, such that when a Druze dies, that Druze will be born as another Druze.
