minority - Definitions from Dictionary.com

Hezbollah is a minority, even if we assume 100% Shiite support (of course I'm talking about HA core party support). According to most estimates, Shiites do not make more than 50% of the Lebanese population, as of yet.
if it makes u sleep better, HezbAllah are the smallest minority kamen...wu ba3den? lol..

It won't make me sleep better because I know this isn't true. They are the largest minority. But it's still a fact that HA's core following doesn't make a majority.

Nation inside a nation? As opposed to what? Other "nations" within Lebanon? It's pretty naive for you to assume that Lebanon is a united nation with Hezbollah and its supporters sitting on the outside somewhere. Again, it seems to me like you're trying to make Hezbollah into the PLO. Quit acting like it's a foreign entity.

You're no more Lebanese than any Hezbollah supporter. Come off this imaginary high horse of yours because it's only going to lead you into a brick wall.

Lebanon has several faces and ,unfortunately, this country's alter egos are all divvied up amongst the different sects. You have your Shiite "nation," your Christian "nation," your Sunni "nation." Hezbollah just so happens to have the largest and most powerful one of those identities and, ironically, you mistaking your country for having only two sides--light and dark--points to a case of ideological schizophrenia on your part.

I recommend you take a tour around your own country (as I have done) and think more about how you can live cohesively amongst your countrymen rather than looking down on them or demonizing them.

Don't play semantics. Hezbollah's support base is larger than any other in Lebanon. They aren't some fringe group dictating down upon the masses as some people would like you to believe they are.

Basic math.

Shiites are the largest sect. Hezbollah is supported almost uniformly by Shiites and has strong support amongst many Christians indirectly through the FPM.

Are you telling me that FM's base is larger than Hezbollah's?
Are you telling me that LF's base is larger than Hezbollah's?
Are you telling me that PSP's base is larger than Hezbollah's?

If so, I can only laugh.

With respect to your logic and your statistics that you have....

Please when Hezbollah do a Festival in Dahia.. just tell me how many person join.

Who join are only people living in Dahia.. not south nor beirut no bekaaa... okey..

so hope when any festival hezballah make it.. count them.. i think that will be better from your logic and second from your unkown source stats.

@ 14 feb .. youm tishyee3 Imad Moghnye.. their were people in the dahia more than their was in Sihit Shohada (PSP + FUTURE MOVEMENT + LF + KATAEB + 5000 Party & movement)

I don't believe in Ali ameen fans nor Asaad nor Shmisdeen .. because if u count all their fans and supporters. i bet that they aren't more than 5,000 or 6,000.
