Sectarianism in the land of the Cedars

Sectarianism is present in the social and political life
of the Lebanon and is even in the unwritten-constitut ion.

Sectarianism is saturating the day by day life
so that it becomes invisible and indivisible. ....
and it replaces the breathing-air.


But then and again,
too much of anything , makes it absolute
and self-destructive.  Like love and or alcohol..... .



I shall give you an example :

One candidate running for an "orthodox-seat" in the parliament
is a member of an "all-Maronite-party" and ex-member of a dissolved
"Maronite-militia".

This candidate won the elections in his district (for the orthodox-seat)
thanks to the overwhelming votes of the Druzes in that same district.
The Druzes voted for him under an agreement (a coalition)
with the Sunni-group of Hariri.

So there you have it :
An Orthodox-parliamentarian who is member of a Maronite-clan
voted in power by the Druzes-voters , only to serve the Sunnis-strategy.

This is not a fictitious figure...... ....but a real one !!.

And if you want to hear more confusing details ,
this "Orthodox-parliamen tarian" got less than 24%
of the Orthodox-voters in his district.
Meaning that in practice he is only representing that Maronite-party
which , accidentaly ,does not even exist in his peculiar distric ,anyhow.

And if you think that is unfair or strange , you would be surprised
to know that this (Christian) Parliamentarian has ,during the civil war,
killed more of his christian opponents ,
than from his Muslim or Druze opponents.


Today ,
his own body-guards fear those people only from his own religion
and even from his own sect....rather than anyone else.

Sectarianism ,because it is man-made  , is like Racism
and is not at all,  natural !!

Western Media' s Bull´s shit !! The Demystification of the Lebanon There are more Christians in Syria than Christians in the Lebanon. There are more Christians in Egypt than all the Lebanese together. There are more Ceders in Morocco than in the Lebanon There are more Ceders in and around Paris than in the Lebanon There are much more Terrorists in Israel than in the Lebanon There are more Phoenicians in Gaza and Haifa than in the Lebanon. There is more Arak and Hommos produced in Israel than in the Lebanon There are more Opium in Afghanistan than in the Lebanon There are more Lebanese outside than in the Lebanon There are more Lebanese-restaurant s outside than in the Lebanon There are more Hezbollah-supporter s outside than in the Lebanon There are more Nasserists in Beirut , than in Cairo. There are more Maronite's outside than in the Lebanon. so where is this Legendary- Lebanon ?? and what is the Mythical-Lebanon ? still a French-protectorate ?? a Harriri-Ranch ?? a Wahhabi-satellite ?? a Druze-reservation ?? or the dislocated and kidnapped-natural- son-of-Syria ?? the abducted and adopted son for France ?? the US-bridge-for- defeatism ?? Chirac´s hobby or Sarkozy´s game ?? No Sir !! if mystification is the name of the game, then , we proudly can say , that the Lebanon is the home of the Hezbollah !! Raja Chemayel
