The population of Lebanon is 95 percent Arab and is mostly of the Muslim faith with a large Christian population, but only around 200 Jews:
Muslim 59.7% (Shia, Sunni, Druze, Isma’ilite, Alawite or Nusayri), Christian 39% (Maronite Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Melkite Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Syrian Catholic, Armenian Catholic, Syrian Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Chaldean, Assyrian, Copt, Protestant), other 1.3%
While we Americans are feuding over converting an old building last used by Burlington Coat Factory into a Muslim community center with prayer rooms, Lebanon is allowing the restoration of a Jewish synagogue in Beirut.
If Muslims are allowing this in the capitol of Lebanon, why can’t ‘Christian’ Americans allow Sufi Muslims to finish their community center in New York?
