My brother was an MLSer! I remember during the Syrian occupation him and his friends used to work hard against the syrians!

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)

sadly you are right

Sorry, but I've never read anything so erroneous in my life. Usually, christians are afraid of Muslims and not the other way around... Muslims generally trust christians and can easily vote for them! While a looot of christians can't even think about voting for a muslim! I've had douzens of experiences like that.
