I am trying to answer your question with the following points: 1- your question prooves your ignorance in Lebanon's political structure. 2- Lebanon is not a democracy but rather it goes this way: public offices are alocated along religious lines, with the top three positions in the ruling "troika" distributed as follows: * The President is required to be a Maronite Christian; * The Prime Minister, a Sunni Muslim, and * The Speaker of the Parliament, a Shi'a Muslim. the parliament is elected directly by the people with seats allocated for every religious sector. so this is how democracy works in Lebanon by agreement. 3-The Muslims never ever even hinted they want the presidency. 4- The current conflict is between goverment and opposition and both sides have christians and muslims members and activists. 5- better you keep your question to your self and before mingling in lebanese politics go and learn first.
5. BottomLine:: Only Israel could save Lebanese Christians....
KMR ,   Middle East   (12.13.07)

8. Ahhh Islam the religion of Peace!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (12.13.07)
Trying to intimidate other religions through terror yet again. When will it end???
9. To #1: Most Lebanese around the world are Christians
N   (12.13.07)
The majority of Lebanese around the world are Christian. They immigrate from their country because of intimidation by Syrians and Palestinians who are occupying parts of Lebanon.
10. #6 Rami - Nazareth, Israel.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.13.07)
Your Arab "brothers" will put an end to Christianity in the Middle-East. The only country that does NOT persecute you is Israel. Yet, your communities manage to be consistantly anti-Israel, even here in Israel. Real smart.
11. Terry, Pro-justice is not anti-israel
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (12.13.07)
Fighting for equality in the country you live and being pro-justice does not mean being anti-Israel. Many christians serve in the Israeli police force and volunteer for the IDF at the same time Jews dodge the draft. How do you conclude that this makes us anti-israel, I have no idea. While you jews & muslims keep killing each other on daily basis, we the christians are the only true tolerant religion in the Middle East. Peace...
12. Just more ethnic cleaning of non-Muslims...
Mark ,   USA   (12.13.07)
This should be no suprise to anyone... soon all the Christians shall have fled Lebanon and then the Muslims can just fight each other. How can some Maronite Christians size with Hizbullah? Do they not realize the global Islamic domination aspect of that "Party of Allah" ?
13. #11 oy,rami,I believe you...
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.13.07)
you arabs living among us are all the same,being you muslim or christian. You are all the same hypocrit bundles. And Terry is perfectly right.I was about to make the same comment as him. You just know whinning and stabing us in the back. I wonder if there are some exceptions among you all.I guess not. You don't belong to us.
14. Why should I care?
JK ,   NYC   (12.13.07)
15. ja!
(12.13.07)
And they support Hezbollah terrorists, Iran and Syria... They could have signed Peace with Israel LONG TIME AGO. But they still donĀ“t get it! Pathetic!
16. #13 Pure, undiluted racism
Christian ,   Sweden   (12.13.07)
You do very eloquently prove that Neturei Karta has some substance in their slogan Zionism = racism, or ist it maybe just your mind that is twisted?
17. Christian in Sweden
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.13.07)
Have you already been stabed in the back?No?So,don't judge! You don't know what is it like to live among arabs,especially muslims,of course! Isn't Sweden already filled with that veils?If not,wait to see what is good for your health:Bye,bye tranquility,serenity,peace.Wait and see. And the arab christians in Israel are not that different.In Nazareth ,for instance,we don't listen hebrew anymore.Is this right?They live in Israel,don't do army,have special taxes they don't pay,refuse to so social service...and the list go on!No, they are not that differnt from muslims!
18. correction
Christian ,   Sweden   (12.13.07)
Dear talkback administrator, I would like to change one word in my recent talckback and that is the word "just". It should be changed to "only". Thank you!
19. but don't worry christian in sweden #16
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.13.07)
Muslims ,even being not that different from christian arabs,will put an end in christian arabs.They want Islan to prevail over anybody,including christians ,of course!
20. #15 wrong
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (12.13.07)
Sadly you are wrong. If Israel had any will, there would have been peace with the Lebanese. Instead internal Israeli politics and the fact that Syrian intelligence defeated the Mossad in the 1982 put an end to the chance for peace with Lebanon. The last nail in the coffin was when Ehud Barak stabbed the SLA heros in the back, perhaps the most foul treachery in Jewish history. Israel owes the Lebanese Christians an apology.
21. These "christians" cursed Israel when they fought Hezbollah
Daniel Ben Adam ,   SF USA   (12.13.07)
The day might come when they ask to be saved from the muslims by the IDF and the Messiah will say.......? I will curse those who curse Israel! Daniel <'))){
22. Support Lebanese Christians
Brod ,   USA   (12.14.07)
It is in the interest of the West and Israel to support the Lebanese Christians from being cleansed in their own historic homeland of Lebanon by Wahhabhist and Ayatollahist funded, armed and supported Islamist-Jihadists. The Lebanese Christians should be wise to turn to their historic friends in the West and Israel for help so as to avert their Holocaust as they did in the late 1970s. Read "Because They Hate" by Brigitte Gabriel, a survivor of the bombardment of her Christian town in Marjayoun, Lebanon, in the late 1970s.
