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.

I am a muslim. I'm from Lebanon. Umm...I don't come from a religious background. So even though i was born to a muslim family, it is God who guided me to Islam.

I am 19 years old, 2nd year med student...I love all kinds of sports and I'm into politics and anything related to the medical field. I like to learn new languages (trilingual and now i am learning 2 new languages).

My country has about 60% muslims and 40% christians and we live together in peace and harmony. We go to the same schools, we work together and we are friends...that's something that you won't find in most countries...
I guess that's all. :)
Peace!!

Hello!!

You're country has 60% muslims and 40% Christians?!? I hope those percentages are rounded up... Surely those aren't the only 2 religions... maybe there's 0.5% of something else??

Welcome to the forums. :D

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 situation and the civil war between 1975-1990.
There are 18 officially recognised sects in Lebanon but all are christian and muslim sects (maronites, catholics, armenians, protestants, sunnis, shias, druze...etc). Some say that muslims make up 70% of the population...but u have to consider that there are more lebanese christians then muslims who live in other countries...

I bet there is at least one person there who has a different religion... That's asking for a lot of conformity...

Yeah, I've been speak arabic, english and french ever since I was a small child. Now I am trying to learn Italian and German but I might not continue cos my studies don't leave me much free time :S so I'd rather be enjoying myself than learning a new language in the free time I have.
Eid Mubarak to u 2. Btw I'm a sister and Assaad is my last name, I'm just using it cos i'm so used to people calling me by my last name. :)
