A wonderful good evening to everybody,
Today is the best day of the entire year. Why? Lebanon got its independence 70 years ago and that's a reason to celebrate. Therefore, I'm going to give a present to all of you, so that you can celebrate too!
🙂
There's no need to vote, you just have to comment the article and you will get a present. Anyway, if you want to vote, feel free to do so!
Lebanon is not only Nasrallah, Hizbullah or terrorism. Some facts which you certainly haven't known yet:
- Lebanon is a multicultural country with 18(!) accepted religious communities
- Lebanon is one of the only countries in the Arab World with no state religion
- The President has to be a Christian
- There are around 4 Million Lebanese inside of Lebanon. The majority lives abroad (between 12 and 18 Million).
- A significant number of Brazilians have Lebanese origins (5%-10% of all 200 MIllion Brazilians)
- the world's richest man is of Lebanese descent
- ever tried a wine from the Middle East? Forget the wines from Turkey or Israel, Lebanon's wines are splendid
- Lebanon is popular for its snowy mountains. In winter, people from all over the world come to Lebanon to ski
- If the weather is good, you can be in the snowy mountains and see the beautiful sea
- Beirut and its nightlife are famous for endless nights
Enjoy the day and keep up fighting \o/

"The President has to be a Christian"
why this?
It's because the power divided during the colony time, the french made a system that divide the political powers betwen the Islamism and Cristianism.
Exactly. Christians and Muslims were looking for compromises. A unique system of Confessionalism was created in which the President has to be a Maronite Christian, the PM a Sunni, the Head of Parliament a Shiite etc etc. All political positions, even the parliament's seats, are divided into the religious groups.
So, it's not even possible to have Nasrallah as President of Lebanon. He could just be the Head of Parliament or get another position for a Shiite.
Maybe it is also important to know that Christians were the biggest religious group until the 1950's
Congratulations, Lebanon 🙂

Hizbullah is no less criminal than a lot of other "moderate governments"
btw, No need for the present, Happy Independence Day to Lebanon
I respect religious groups and parties. Their idealism and they attitudes to morality are admirable. You will found less corruption in strong religious societies than in moderate ones. Otherwise, especially Sunni "heretics" like you Hazem would have a big problem under the reign of Nasrallah.
The intolerance of fundamentalistic groups such as Hamas or Hizbullah are just ridiculous because that has nothing to do anymore with the words you would find in the Quran.
You're right, and I'm not saying their morally right, I'm saying they are no less criminal than those who claim. They are peaceful and democratic.
Oh, I didn't know that you can vote Nasrallah or Khaled Mashal out of their offices... Because this would make these organizations at least a bit democratic.
Hizbullah is killing innocent people in Syria as well as other fundamentalistic groups. How can you call them peaceful?
lol, dude I said the exact opposite. I'm not gonna exlplain again.
this is a pretty good video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=477885422326116&set=vb.233028346854129&type=2&theater

It was also precisely 50 years ago John F. Kennedy was shot and 8 years ago Angela Merkel became Kansler. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
Oh and Carlos Slim is no longer the richest person in the World. Bill Gates reclaimed that one a few months ago. It is also a bit important to notice how much Money Bill Gates have given to charity compared to Carlos Slim.
