I wouldn’t call Druze Muslims. They’re some sort of a weird hybrid, but the end result is they are not out to murder, rape or even cause problems. Druze are a staple element in the IDF and Israeli police. You can walk through a Druze town without being accosted, and they even have tourist shops where they sell divers crap to tourists.

Good perspective. The Druze are hated by the more traditional brands of Islam for exactly the reasons which you describe. This is why Lebanon was created by the victorious Allies after World War I to give two persecuted groups from the old Ottoman Empire a place to leave in peace together.

This is also why Lebanon prospered from independence until they begin to throw their doors open to Pallies and more traditional Muslims after the 1967 and Yom Kipper wars . . . who, within the next decade thanked their hosts by launching a brutal civil war.

It is what radical (traditional) Muslims do.
