The stereotype about the lebanese is that they live in tents in the desert, ride camels and wear turbans and burkas :S
Completely untrue...we don't have a desert in Lebanon and we have no camels :). Hehe...and we wear modern clothes. Even in old times the lebanese had their own traditionnal...
My favorite breakfat is Ful Medammas. It is a very popular breakfast here in Lebanon. It's made of cooked fava beans, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.

No actually Islam and christianity are the only 2 religions that exist in Lebanon. There used to be some jews here but some left to Israel and the others to Europe and the USA...not because they were mistreated, in fact they are proud of their lebanese identity. It was because of the economic...
Hey!!!
I came to this forum to get educated about other religions...it's always been interesting to me to find out about other preople's faiths.
