Current forecast for the next election is ~26% Christian and the rest Muslim. I assume the study counts Druze population as Muslims. In reality I suspect that there will be even fewer Christians by the time of the next election unless something totally unexpected happens.<BR/><BR/>The dynamics is not looking too good for non-Muslims in Lebanon.BHChhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178467606233596591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20232963.post-1156364866152811472006-08-23T13:27:00.000-07:002006-08-23T13:27:00.000-07:00Pazuzu, Christians in this country survived for ce...Pazuzu, Christians in this country survived for centuries, and during harder times, harder wars and harder circumstances. Even though I'm living in a deeply troubled state of mind and a troubled existential crisis recently, I sincerely feel that, we as Christians will never be dropped to the level of "memory". I'm so sure of that.Josyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442661279373501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20232963.post-1156267013304349792006-08-22T10:16:00.000-07:002006-08-22T10:16:00.000-07:00a lebanese gui, did a quote of "le hora" of guy de...a lebanese gui, did a quote of "le hora" of guy de maupassant, which could give an idea of what Hezbollah means to Lebanese, on Sm blog, and I found this parallele very accurateNOMADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16557946021931920145noreply@blogger.com
