Are the Christians of Lebanon paying the price of a cause they don't believe?

Are all your questions related to religion?

There are also Palestinian Christians who believe in a free Palestine just as much as the Palestinian Muslims. Although there are some people who fight in the name of their religion, the real problem doesn't have to do with religion. It has to do with the fact that Israel is occupying lands that once belonged to Palestinians (Christians and Muslims).

I don't know if that answers your question, but if you don't care about the Palestinians, it's not like someone is forcing you to go fight with them, let alone support their cause.

i think everyone suffered because of some thoughtless decision to begin a war with isreal! Those with and against!

freeing palastine is not a muslim duty, its an arab duty! (adam I cant belive you forgot to point that out!)

We do not want a war with isreal, we want peace. Because if we did have a war they would rape us! That does not mean we should be friends or even mean we like each other, it is just 2 sides offering each otehr peace. That will do us more good than it will them believe me (since we are weaker now).

Inshallah when all of the arabs (of all religions) around the world join forces we would be strong enough to free palestine! Lebanon on its own cannot! If one group tries something stupid then we're all f*cked!

hope that helped =]

**christians, is your have faith to intense a cost to pay? No. no longer believing may be a a ways extra desirable fee. i became into further of the two a demon or paranoid schizophrenia with psychosis. Whichever it became into, healing became into instant, and that i've got been wonderful ever on account that. If i did no longer have faith, i might the two be drugged up on medicine or lifeless. **whilst a number of you assert that your faith, faith or perception is the only thank you to the exclusion of all others. isn't your vanity, disrespect, intolerance of what others have faith to intense a cost to pay with the intention to follower your god? Is it vanity to have faith that we choose for oxygen with the intention to stay to tell the story, and no different gasoline will do? something isn't vanity no rely if that's an common fact of fact. **on account which you ought to comprehend that such extreme perspectives have been and nevertheless are the reason for atrocities and wars. which contains the 9/11 assaults. that isn't any longer the case. faith in Christ became into no longer the reason for any of those issues. besides the shown fact that, it must be that people who have faith we ought to continuously no longer be loose to worship Christ are accountable. **this basically applies to those christians who extra healthful the above description. you comprehend who you're. Very unusual you may desire to placed this. Your question seems to be directed to all Christians. This fact implies you think of there are categories of Christian. There are no longer. Christians are persons that stick to Christ. That love, even their enemies. That forgive. That tutor mercy and kindness. those are the instructions of Christ. persons that don't stick to them are no longer followers of Christ. they do no longer seem to be Christians.

Some Lebanese Christians (such as myself) don't believe in being Israel's enemy. Once we figure out a solution for the Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon, I'll be happy to see us sign a peace treaty.

It's not a religious issue. No Lebanese should have to fight Israel after the Refugee problem and the Shebaa problem is fixed. It's simply a Palestinian issue. It's a fight between Palestinians and Israelis, and no one else.

Some might say it was our mistake for getting involved as Lebanese in the first place in 1948 and sealing our fate to fight BOTH Palestinians and Israelis..

baaaa, crap crap crap

i bet you never met a palestinian christian before??? they are just as passionate if not more than we are! we met some the other day at the mall and when the old man about in his 40-50s was describing falasteen and how much those jews messed it up he was gonna cry

why wouldnt the christians believe in our cause?? christians in palestine their fellow religious brothers over there get treated just as crappy as the muslims by the jews, if they have a thing against muslims then they should remember JESUS was born and spent most of his life in palestine and because of israel they can NEVER EVER go visit the holy lands or anything, why wouldnt they believe in it? isny jerusalem holy for them tooo?

this is not just a muslim duty, if it was such a big thing with all muslims if it was then wouldnt they all raise an army (saudi arabia being the first since they make themselevs as if they are all religious) and liberate us??? not every pro palestinian is muslim and if they are they don say anything about it being a religious duty

im muslim my uncle is muslim he doesnt even pray at all but his entire life as a kid he would be throwing rocks and fighting el yahood and now he works for this government thiing and talks all the time about kicking those yahood out

this is a HUMAN issue and duty, do u see what those zionists do? did u see what happeend in gaza?? to NOT want to be enemies with such a vile nation makes u no better than a soldier that kills a mother and her children, u are no better than those TERRORISTS u are defendings and refusing to stand against.

think before u post such STUPID questions, and get another topic besides palestine muslims and christians, u have no right to post about this

sigh.. i promised myself i wouldnt answer any more questions like this... but i cant help it!

I agree with you that some people look down on those not fighting isreal directly, and arabs especially.

The thing is, we all want palastine to be free and inshallah it will be. However, we are phisically not able to go over to isreal and start a war, becasue well obviously, we are not as strong as them. Isreal is very strong and has da3em from america, it would be almost impossible to defeat them.

The smart thing to do here is to stay away from them when we are weaker (like now), and maybe in a few years we will be stronger and have bigger armies then we will definetaly do all we can to free palestine. But doing anything now would be foolish. The last time anyone tried anything, lebanon was half destroyed! But we all know that if they really wanted to destroy all of lebanon they are perfectly capable of doing so!

When people do not participate in the pointless attacks at isreal or stand against them (because we all know what happens if you p*ss off isreal!) they say we support isreal! That is not true! But it is always used against us in political discussions!

Its not only christians btw, many others that are not foolish enough to go against isreal! Our prophet mohammed made peace with the enemies when he knew he was weaker, and we are no better than him. We follow his example, but some others like to play on the dangerouse side (and kill everyone).

oh and people here dont like direct adress of religions.. try rephrasing next time.

Just letting you know you are not alone... =]

Israel is killing arabs no matter what religion they follow....i guess u havent read history of palestinian resistance as it started as national/leftist resistance and later on turned into religious after the fall of the USSR.

Also for your info, one of the biggest leader of palestinian resistance was Georges Habach, a christian who in my opinion fought and never negociated unlike Arafat.

Lebanese people have suffered greatly under Israel and it doesnt matter what religion they follow, Israel wont think twice before eliminating them.

Actually the big problem now is that there are half of the Christians allies with hizbollah and that what makes us pay the price especially in the future.

who said it's a religious duty? just for Muslims?

every free soul wants a Free Palestine

It's not a religious Issue, it's more of human issue since Zionists are killing innocent civilians and children for their "Promised Land" and no matter what religion you follow, you will oppose such barbaric acts.

Am Agnostic and i fully support a free Palestine.
