How brilliant of you to know my friends better than I do.
Definitely NOT Christians. Modern, assimilated muslims, not a veil in sight, daughters college educated too. Actually, Lebanon is the most liberal of all Middle East countries. Which means, not fussy about veils, education for women, etc.
OK liberal Muslims. Who can flip to extremism faster than you can say Jack Rabbit. I’ve known several, Pakistanis, Iranians, Saudis.
It is true the Lebs are a different breed.
