And, BTW, not all Arabs are Muslims. Many Lebanese (as many as 40%) are Christian.

Would that be in 1960 or today? Would that be living in Lebanon or world wide?

Please stop squirming...

He doesn't have to squirm, there are plenty of Lebanese Christians. These simplistic approaches to Arabs and Moslems are based on ignorance. We don't need to amd don't want to fight every Arab, every Moslem, or every Arab or Moslem country. Many are our allies. Many are normal people who have zero to do with terrorism. Many are fighting with our troops in many countries.

40% would be the number in 2000. Maybe todays number would be more like 30%, who knows? That's the Lebanese living in Lebanon.

World-wide, who knows also? Until the 70's, Christians were the majority in Lebanon. Then the Syrians got involved, and Christians started leaving, and non-Lebanese Muslims moved in.

Syria has had effective control over Lebanon for years. But don't be mistaken - not all Lebanese are Muslim, and not all Muslims living in Lebanon are Lebanese.
