Being Lebanese

Flowers91 · September 1, 2011

Can I just say how lucky I feel to be lebanese lol! I find us the most open minded people in this place who actually use their intellect to think about things before jumping and saying things are halal & haraam ! Like God gave us brains, and i'm glad you guys use them!

P.s. Before anyone comes here saying patriotism is Haraam etc etc, just don't bother.

Well that's what Lebanese are all about, isn't it? Unity.

Hence why they refer to themselves as Lebanese, BEFORE, going to extra detail (e.g. Sunni, Shiite, Maronite etc.)

Ok........

But it only applies to jabal 'amil :angel:

i must say.. when i saw the title

"being lebanese" i thought i'd complete the statement with "sucks"

LOL but im just joking :P

but i respect you all for your solidarity with each other.. and your pride for your country makes me laugh.

if i had to describe you all with one word it would have to be "funny" cuz you all make me laugh soo much even when youre being serious :lol: wacky bunch of fellas! na respect to the leb bros and sisters and of course Salutee to the mighty hezbollah!

Being Lebanese myself (Tallousaaaa =D) I can't really say Lebnaniyyeh are the "most open minded" people. Culture still plays a huge role in overpowering Islam unfortunately. Inshallah Allah opens all our eyes.

Flowers91 · September 1, 2011

I don't think you can say Lebanese peoples are open minded to the extent that you have, my family seem to find it okay to have a bit of racism in thinking Blacks aren't as good as they are (Mostly Sudanese peoples), and they also seem to majorly take pride in their country to the extent that they downgrade everyone else with a lack of respect at times. I myself detest these actions but it's too common a practice over there.

yeah i agree to an extent - loads of the locals have no respect for animals either. the horrors I saw. and yeah, my teta is the same about black people

but i really just meant the observations i've seen on this forum rather than the outside

Oh well I wouldn't know in that case haha.

But yeah, I've seen them just kick dogs or slaughter the ones feeding their puppies or something. I'm proud of my culture and everything but Islam isn't being presented correctly at all.

Weird, if Lebs love their own country so much why are they so desperate to be Iranian?

I've never seen this, and in any case you are generalizing, very much.

omg slaughter ones feeding their puppies :o i saw loads in the se7a kicking a disabled dog, and he was squealing and running under from one car to another. I went up to someone standing there who told me he was my 'dad's cousin' and dad ended up not knowing who he was ! anyway. he was acting all like aww poor dog etc, but didnt do ANYTHING - anyway long, and distressing story !

okay , i retract my statement

but islamically i feel they arn't as heavy handed, which in some circumstances is a bad thing, and in others a very good thing.

yeah, i don't know where you heard that from. as far as i'm concerned, iranians would die to be lebanese :P

Its def a top hit

jund_el_Mahdi · September 2, 2011

I remember a few years back, a bunch of teenagers were kicking a little kitten, even cut a piece of its tail off, and squirting it with water and throwing firecrackers at it in the street and it tried to hide under my uncle's Volvo. I was so furious, I ran out and yelled at all of them, how can they do this to an innocent creation of Allah!? The poor little thing was so terrified, I grabbed it and we nursed it back to health, alhamdillah it survived and a year later had 4 beautiful babies, mashallah.

This was in Bourj al Barajneh if anyone's wondering :dry:

people who love animals are generally kind and caring people, so 'having a cat at all times' will be part of my marriage contract to deter crazy lebanese animal abusers :squeez:

Indeed, Lebanon is a great, unique place!

Animal cruelty is indeed a problem...but there is an organization that tries to deal with it:

Because they support Seyyed Ali Khamenei?

I'm proud of being from Jabal 'Amil

Abu'l Khattab · September 2, 2011

Why do they support Syed Khamenei? Because of all the cash he's giving them? Whether you think it's for legitimate uses or not, he's still giving them money.

Yeh? And so what? It's helping Lebanon's economy.

And your upset because the shirazis are lacking money, spiritual influence and pulling power ? because more people know about south lebanon and SHN and FADLALLAH then they do about whoever it is you follow ?

or is it because some beautiful Lebanese girl, that every guy in the Middle East wants, broke your heart ?

Or maybe deep down inside you want a Lebanese guy :P

settle down hitler !!!!

It is a special previllage for anyone to be born into a Lebanese family, :)

Lebanon is 1 of the oldest continuously inhabitated places on earth, and thats for obvious reasons, Its so beautiful that people have continuesly fought over its small stretch of land ever since history itself was first recorded.

romans:

crusaders:

phonesian:

and unfortunatly saudis have also left their mark too :lol: :

The land is fertile and lush, just look at the lushious foods that come from our beautiful soil.

YUM COCKTELL!!!!!

MMMMMMMMMMMMM

the sweets: say no more!!!!
