Riachi: Christians Must Create Genuine Peace with Muslim Partners
Minister of Information Melhem Riachi said on Friday that it is the "duty of Christians" to look beyond worldwide extremism and to opt for real peace with Muslim partners, the National News Agency reported.
Speaking during a conference titled “Christian Media...Towards Unity” under the patronage of Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, Riachi said: “Christians must create a mystical situation and look beyond extremism worldwide. It is our duty as Christians to create real peace with our Muslim partner.”
"Take your time issuing the conference recommendations within the next few days and send them to the Information Ministry to be broadcast to the whole world by NNA and other local media outlets," Riachi told participants at the conference.
“Let these recommendations be binding to help build positive and civilized media,” he concluded.

What a joke!! There’s no possibility of peace with people who want Islamic republics or califates.
Ils ne feront qu’une bouchée des Chrétiens, in my very humble opinion it’s up to Moslems to reach out to Christians because they’re the majority in the Middle East and they should also reach out to all other minorities in the region.

He's missing the glory of the Lebanese Constitution. If Sunnis and Christians would join hands in Lebanon to complete the work so nobly begun (in Article 24) by eliminating the Shia majority--who aren't even Muslims, for God's sakes--Lebanon and the entire region would go up in smoke once and for all and we could get on with the invasion of China, now in its two hundred and forty-seventh year by my count.
My question is, what is Hezbullah waiting for with a civil rights movement to overturn Article 24?

You are confusing Lebanon with Iran or Iraq where Shias are the majority. That's a mistake many Americans make, we are all Hajjis to you after all. Shia are not the majority in Lebanon. They are only 30% of the population. And the answer to your question is, obviously, Hezballah cannot lead a civil unrest to overturn 24 with just 30% of the population and that is why they cannot do it.

most of the 15 million lebanese diaspora are Christians, so this 30% number figure drops way below 30% of Chïis in the lebanese demographics.

If there is rough numerical parity between Christiand and Muslims in Lebanon, why is Article 24 needed? Article 24 says that half of Lebanon's Parliament shall go to Christians. "Until such time as the Chamber enacts new electoral laws on a non-confessional basis, the distribution of seats shall be according to the following principles: a. Equal representation between Christians and Muslims. b. Proportional representation among the confessional groups within each of the two religious communities. c. Proportional representation among geographic regions. Exceptionally, and for one time only, the seats that are currently vacant, as well . . . the Government of National Unity. This is to establish equality between Christians and Muslims as stipulated in the Document of National Accord. The electoral laws shall specify the details regarding the implementation of this clause."[1]
