I'm rather confused by your comment. I attend a Maronite Catholic Church whose "See" is at Bkerke in Lebanon. Our pastor and many of our parishioners are Lebanese and go back and forth on a regular basis. Some are building retirement homes in Lebanon.
"Lebanon is more than a country, it is a message of freedom and an example of pluralism for both the East and the west..." These were the words of H.H Pope John Paul II in describing Lebanon. Politically, the President, is a Maronite Christian; the Speaker of the Parliament, is a Shi'a Muslim, and the Prime Minister, is a Sunni Muslim.
Where do you see a problem?
Now, let me tell you what the government of Lebanon was before the Muslim take over in the 1970’s. There was a Christian president, a Muslim 2nd in command and the most important appointment was the Chief of Police, who was also a Christian. As it stand now, there are no Christians in the government. The Muslim revolution of the 70’s and 80’s turn Lebanon into a butcher shop. As in other Muslim countries like Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Christians are being hunted down and killed. In Iraq alone, the Christians are told to convert, leave or be killed.
Question.
What is the situation going on in Lebanon now, since If I am not mistaken, that country had some problems with Syria a few years back?
Thank-you!
