Please be mindful of Muslims and their feelings as you hear about the numerous Christian church bombings this easter. Remember that well over 20% of Muslims do not approve of terror in the name of Islam.

When someone attacks a mosque look how the media reacts vs. when some one attacks a Christian church.

The few Muslims that are not terrorists support the ones that are. We need to run every one of the stone age rejects out of our country before stuff like this starts happening weekly here.

Now, an Easter message.

Conservatives- Happy Easter, I hope it is a good and safe one for you and your families

Liberals- frick you

"Those who don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it."
- George Santayana

Before the brutal and deadly Lebanese Civil War of 1975 to 1990, Lebanon was a predominantly Christian country (for example in 1920s census, Christians accounted for 84 percent of the Lebanese population). At that time Beirut was prosperous, many people dine out in the evening, and people called Beirut as little Paris of Middle East.

At that time a “people of religion of peace” who applied a new strategy and pretending as a Christian to win the election in Lebanon and started to bring in huge number of “people of religion of peace” from neighboring countries.

By playing race/religion card, focused on the pseudo issues, dividing society, and polarized the country, as a results a long civil war started and 120,000 died and one million people had to leave their home as refugees.

At least Muslims don’t discriminate regarding holy days: they kill Christians during Christian holy days and Muslim holy days.

Climate change is making people really desperate. Very understandable.

The 1,000s of sub-Sahara Christians killed in the last year say hello.

I pray someday people realize we are at war with the ideology masquerading as a religion.
