      Very few people - including Armenians - seem to understand this:

      1. Shia Muslims protect & respect Christians (you may find the occasional fanatic like in every religion). Hezbollah = Iranian trained Shia-militia in Lebanon.

      2. Saudi style Muslims want to convert or kill Christians - usually the latter.

      It's important to understand the difference.

      TRIVIA:

      Iran: According to Acts 2:9 in the Acts of the Apostles there were Persians, Parthians and Medes among the very first new Christian converts at Pentecost. And there are several denominations of Christians in Iran; some going directly back to the time of Jesus.

      Compared to Saudi Arabia:

      Saudi Arabia:
      Saudis to Christians: "Get out!" Those accused of worshipping in homes ordered deported

      Saudis will do much worse if they think no one will notice.

      Armenians were neutral during Civil War.
      That statement is over-broad; maybe you've heard of this guy: He largely built his military experience beginning from the late 1970s and 1980s where he fought against the various splintering factions in the Lebanese Civil War, against Israeli troops in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

        If you're speaking in reference to Christians in the middle east then yes, there is some truth to this since Saudis and Turks are both Sunni. Although Saudi Arabia is in a world of its own when it comes to sanity.

        The people have been shuffled around and the middle east has been in shambles since WW1. The borders were drawn up around resources and not around demographics.

          Not all Berbers (Amazigh) are Arabised-Berbers (Moors) and their are still several million ethnic Berbers in North Africa. The Berbers are indigenous to North Africa and they are Afroasiatic, Atlanto-Mediterranean peoples.

          Modern day Syro-Lebanese people have Iranic ethnic associations and the Lebanese Muslims aren't just Arabised. As the Lebanese are one of the the most ethnically mixed group of people in the entire world.

          The Lebanese are really Arabised, Semitic-Mediterraneans and it's said that they very distantly related to the Sicilians and Maltese. Who like the Lebanese where Arabised and are descended from the Phoenicians.

          The Lebanese and Assyrians may both be Western Semitic. However they aren't that closely related. As the Assyrians are far more closely related to Armenians, Turks (Antolians), Greeks etc. and whilst the Assyrians where partially Indo-Europeanised. They are still a 'proper' West Asian, Western Semitic peoples.

            Hezbollah nabs Israel spies within ranks

            Wed Jun 22, 2011 4:28PM
            Lebanon's resistance movement Hezbollah has arrested several people within its own ranks on suspicion of spying for Israel's intelligence service, Mossad.


            According to the Lebanese sources, more than 10 Hezbollah members, among them high-ranking figures, were arrested over the past few days for collaborating with Israel.

            Mohammad Atwi from the Nabatiyeh district in south Lebanon, who was responsible for organizing security within the party and coordinating activities with Iran and Syria, is one of the high ranking Hezbollah officials arrested in this regard, the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Rai reported.

            A cleric is also reported to be among the suspected Israeli spies.

            "A group of Hezbollah members were detained in the past few days for collaborating with Israel,” an unnamed Hezbollah source told Now Lebanon but refused to disclose the number of those detained or their position in the party.

            The Lebanese resistance movement says the detainees are being interrogated, adding that some have confessed to spying for Mossad while others deny the charges.

            Hezbollah says it discovered the spy cell three months ago after very crucial information about the movement was passed to Israel.

            Several prominent Lebanese figures, including members of the army, politics and business, have been arrested over the last two years on charges of spying for Israel.

            Tel Aviv has launched an intelligence war against Hezbollah following its defeat during the 33-day war against the Lebanese resistance movement in 2006.

            If convicted, the spies will face life sentences with hard labor. Should they be found guilty of contributing to the loss of the Lebanese life, the agents will face capital punishment.

            Lebanese President Michel Sleiman has called for severe punishment for Israeli spies, saying he would sign death sentences handed down by the court.

                      I wouldn't trust these polls as far as I can throw a yarmulke but....



                      Turks hold least favorable view of Hamas, Hezbollah, Pew poll shows

                      Turks offer the least positive ratings for Hamas and Hezbollah among the countries surveyed, while Hamas has a favorable view in Egypt, a Pew poll has shown.


                      The survey, conducted between April 12 and May 7 by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project, finds that Hamas receives mixed ratings across the Muslim publics surveyed. Jordanian Muslims express the most support -- 60 percent have a favorable view of Hamas -- while Muslims in Turkey offer the least positive ratings (9 percent favorable and 67 percent unfavorable).

                      In Egypt and Turkey, attitudes toward Hezbollah are generally negative. Just 30 percent of Muslims in Egypt, and even fewer (5 percent) in Turkey, offer favorable views of the Lebanon-based organization.
