Dear @molometer congratulations for your trip to lebanon I think lebanon is a Muslim country or not.I am Tourist and travel many countries this time I am in Iran Nice to meet you at your great article.thanks for sharing your experience with steemians.my English is very poor hope you understand.thank you very much.
Your English seems pretty good to me Rashid. Lebanon has many religions and they all live happily together.
Great
And thanks for your reply
Lebanon's constitution requires that the head of state be a Maronite Christian, so by this we could consider it to be a form of state imposed Christian rule. But the majority of Lebanese are Muslims. The constitution however, like that in almost all Middle Eastern countries was imposed by the British/French during the colonialist carve up known as the Sykes-Picot agreement.
What you say is all true to the best of my understanding. They have a power sharing constitution now which includes all faith's. They have just gone 2 years without a Prime Minister because they couldn't agree who is should be apparently?
Actually they have gone 2 years without a President because the parliament members couldn't "agree" on who to vote for...
Makes one wonder if they need a president if they can go two years without one? Don't you think?
yeah agreed
