So most Lebanese in Australia are scum? Thank you for that insight. I will like you to know tht the vast majority of Lebanese diaspora in Australia and else were are not "scum" but successful and proud people who hold together the Lebanese economy. The "scum" you talk about are less than 30,000 (out of 500k living in oz) who live in western sydney and came between 78-82. They are mostly from Tripoli and quoting a cabinet report released 3 years ago, were mostly "poor, uneducated and with questionable hygiene". These people were dumped in one area, and they have struggled ever since to integrate.
Happy to provide you with more info if you would like... Maybe practise avoiding vomit at the beginning of your comments, because it seams you know how to finish with the right words.
The electoral role published by the interior ministry puts christains at 39.5%. Plus the 90% of diaspora are Christian.
There is an attempt, from the days of Kissinger, to portray Lebanon and the middle east as Muslim, dictators and Israel the beacon of light for democracy and defenders of Christian rights in the holy land. Don't fall into this trap.
Over 140,000 were born in Lebanon. Up to 500,000 if you also include 1st and 2nd generation.
I saw the guy on naharnet, but had not heard of anything from Australian media. Anycase, who cares?
I agree that we should support free people's struggle from tyranny, but I don't believe that this is what is the agenda because it's a violent uprising not a peaceful one. They are rejecting all attempts to reform and the final result will be a less tolerant society... It's a struggle against the "shite crescent" from Iran, Iraq Syria and Lebanon that king abdullah warned of years ago. I don't want anything to do with this agenda.
Chrisrushlau... Please see the same cut and paste comment that was in reply to your same previously ignorant post.
"The electoral role (those eligible to vote in lebanon) published by the interior ministry puts christains at 39.5%. Plus the 90% of lebanese diaspora (approx 8 million) are Christian." Granted, most are 1, 2nd and even 3rd generation with little connection with Lebanon except through teta's cooking. But even 1 million of them would see the christains as majority.

Slash, are you saying that geagea doesn't get applauded while entering the church? It wasn't during mass. Anyway, who gives a crap... It's a nothing story!
Tina, what's wrong with Cuba. Beautiful, small, peaceful country that has been raped and bullied by the u.s. For no reason except it doesn't believe in unabated capitalism. Your a tool.
