Christian Iraqis seek refuge in Lebanon - 26 Oct 08

Christians in Iraq are under attack.

The United Nations says 13,000 Christians have fled the northern city of Mosul in the past two weeks alone.

Most have moved elsewhere in Iraq but some have fled to Lebanon, as Nayla Khoury has been finding out.

[psmx7]

Any Christian or non-christian refugee is welcome in lebanon, but if they try to change the identity of lebanon then we have a problem, if the try to create secterianism as they did in iraq, then we have a problem.

@issareign so, you sit and watch from afar and wait for Lebanon to "cleanse itself" in order for you to return? Would you like us to lay out a red carpet and gather a band for your return too? If you want to see your country develop, as much as you claim, then why dont you come back now. Get educated in Lebanese universities? Work in Lebanon, help Lebanon prosper. Your argument is silly, your language is vulgar, and you have 0 backing for the hateful verbal vomit you put forth.

@microloverecords im more than just some uneducated, rife for terrorist recruitment, iraqi christian. im in canada, i attend university, and will one day become a civil engineer. these people in the video above are nothing but a strain on the lebanese society. i hope one day lebanon can cleanse all these people from our land so i can return to it one day.

@issareign

Lebanon is a country which shelters incoming refugees since time immemorial. you yourself are probably some squatter in some north american or gulf country so shut yo trap hater!

[issareign]

@ramzihayek go live with them in iraq then. you're probably not even lebanese. what are you? armenian, kurdish, or some other squatter?

[issareign]

get the fuck out of lebanon for gods sake. man, this makes me so sad as a lebanese. over half of lebanon are refugees from syria palestine and iraq now. fuck man, i hate this world.
