What an idiot! My Christian friends from Lebanon will have a fit of apolexy. The Maronites should be standing with the Orthodox, moderate Sunnis and the Druze. It’s the Christians only chance for long term survival in a land they once dominated with 60%+ of the population.

Here's some more info in regard to that part of the topic.

CIA World Factbook -- Lebanon excerpt:
Religions:
"Muslim 59.7% (Shi'a, Sunni, Druze, Isma'ilite, Alawite or Nusayri), Christian 39% (Maronite Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Melkite Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Syrian Catholic, Armenian Catholic, Syrian Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Chaldean, Assyrian, Copt, Protestant), other 1.3%"

Most people in Lebanon, including non-Muslims, support Nasrallah (Hezbollah Secretary General, terrorist), as they give him credit for having driven Israel out in the past.
