Lebanon's Muslims: Relatively Secular and Pro-Christian

Lebanon¿s diversity has also posed a number of significant challenges. Lebanon¿s history indicates the potential for religious tensions to escalate, especially in a broader context where sectarian violence has ravaged both Iraq and Syria and threatens to create fault lines across the region where the war in Syria has specifically had an impact on the country¿s stability and raises questions about the future of its minorities.This book aims to examine the current situation of religious minorities in Lebanon. It draws on a desk review of existing materials and media reports, together with first-hand field research and interviews with members of different religious communities, including activists belonging to currently unrecognized groups.
