Secular in what aspect? Fourteen members of parliment happen to be hezbollah.
The CIA factbook takes issue with that...

Religions:
Sunni Muslim 74%, Alawite, Druze, and other Muslim sects 16%, Christian (various sects) 10%, Jewish (tiny communities in Damascus, Al Qamishli, and Aleppo)

So now these dirty ****ers are launching rockets into Nazareth, what the **** would the stupid *** international community be saying if the Israelis were bombing Mecca or Medina, isn't it about the same thing? How the **** do you fight somebody who makes thier bases in civilian apartment comlexes? These ***** *** pussies claimed Israel bombed a "Mosque" that they were building 100 feet under ground, who the **** buys that ****? The only reason they pull this crap is so civilians are killed when anyone counterattacks. I heard a Hezbollah soundbite earlier today saying they want the Israelis to come out and fight them one on one, wtf? I say leaflet southern Lebanon, Iran and Syria and turn the whole ****hole to glass.

Sorry. I'm beginning to sound like dre.

Would you call the USA secular? I would. But the CIA doesn't seem to.

Syria is largely secular. It has a very extremist faction that is increasingly influential and which is guiding or at least helping to shape policy.

Poor Lebanon is being bombed to tatters . A county that was definately on the rebound, and a "beacon of hope" in the middle east is back to square one. And because of some dumbass terrorists? . Really is a shame. I saw beiruit back about a year/half ago and it was really starting to look like the beautiful city it once was again. However, after seeing the few pictures a friend of mine there has sent me, it makes me furious at both sides for destroying the lives/livelyhoods of those in both countries. Just a terrible pity.

While their views dont have **** to do with my own, i do respect them for utilizing their right to public peaceful demonstrations. But you probably dont like the fact that someone can stand up and say something that is contrary to your own shallow views now do you?

Thats it buddy.. not a damn thing..


See some people are stupid and have to give their lives/bodies/time to others(cause they dont have much else to give or they simple arent creative nuff to figure out another way).

Others are smart4r and only need to lend their skills and ideas.

Which one do you think you are? I have my answer...
