In the 2005 elections, sunnis whom many where with FPM, with one fatwa practically all deserted FPM and voted for Hariri even though he had allied with 8th of March.
On the other hand, a lot of christians supported Rafic El Harriri.
Now if we can witness many christians refusing to vote for non christian leaders it is because of their reaction to how muslim voters vote.
I would say there is real hope for Lebanon when the same thing happens in a muslim school and a christian person wins the election despite his religion being a minority.
(That being said, don't misunderstand me, I am not saying that this event isn't a positive thing, on the contrary it means that FPM was able to achieve REAL CHANGE into the minds of the people it represents) |
usually christians have as much problem in electing muslims as muslims have problem in electing christians.
the 90 % of muslim voting for the corrupted leader of theirs are voting for him for his corrupted christian allies at the same time.
the christians that support hariri are just as many as the sunni that support aoun.... since always in this country leaders had followers from other sects, even bashir jmayyel had few muslim followers (both sunni and shiites). that doesn't prove anything.
there have always been both muslims and christians from all confessions following other standards than religious affiliation, but to bad they are minorities in both sides.
