RE: Travel with me to Lebanon: Hear an ancient language spoken Aramaic
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
