Lebanese town bans Muslims from buying, renting property
Associated Press ^ | June 26, 2019 | Bassem Mroue

Mohammed Awwad and his fiancée, both Muslims, recently found an affordable apartment for rent online in a town in Lebanon, southeast of Beirut.

The 27-year-old journalist called the number and asked the owner when they could drop by to take a look. He was stunned by her response: Muslims are not allowed to settle in the town, she said.

The apartment owner apologized to Awwad, saying she wouldn’t mind renting to people of any sect but officials in the town of Hadat issued orders years ago that only Christians be allowed to buy and rent property from the town’s Christian residents.

The young Shiite Muslim man could not believe what he heard and asked his fiancée, Sarah Raad, to call the municipality and she, too, was told that the ban had been in place for years.

Hadat is a small example of Lebanon’s deeply rooted sectarian divisions that once led to a 15-year civil war that left more than 100,000 people dead.

Seems like a sensible situation. Ban barbaric, raping, murders from living in a peaceful town.

And muzzies persecute Christians, force them to pay more, rape them, slice their necks, and burn their property.

Works for me, as long as other Muslims, like the Palestinians, make selling real estate to Jews a death-penalty offense.

Both of my grandfathers were born outside of Beirut. Good for them. Keep the Muzzie scum out.

Christians in Lebanon, the ones who survived, have 1300 years of experience with Islam.

I wonder why the AP never talks about Muslim towns where Christians are brutally murder let alone not allowed to buy/rent apartments?

Lebanon was once 80% christian as I recall. Beruit was compared to Paris. What the hell happened? I don’t think it was birthrates. More and likely outsiders wanted to live in a more peaceful prosperous place(Christian). They couldn’t acknowledge it. How far off the mark am I?

Beruit was compared to Paris.

1950 - Beirut is the Paris of the Middle East
2019 - Paris is the Beirut of Europe

WILLIAM FEDERER explains how Muslims overtake cultures...

ISLAM: to submit
MUSLIMS: have submitted.

Muslim 3-Step Program:
* Religious - Immigrate to a country.
* Political - Increase in number.
* Militant - Eliminate those who oppose them.

Take time to listen to this short C-SPAN book review by American Historian by WILLIAM FEDERER on Islam. Pass the link to others.

I had a good friend in college who was Lebanese-American. His parents immigrated and were good Christians. Very nice people all around. Total juxtaposition from cut-throat Moslems.

Lebanese are great people. My grandparents gave me a great tan year round and a full head of hair still staying strong after 49 years. :>)))))

Good for them, and may they stand their ground. I just saw that statistic that 91% of Muslims here in the US are on food stamps and 67% are getting welfare. Now that’s just darned STUPID.
