Quick one today on the growing calls for Secularism in Lebanon. Lebanon has an interesting constitution which stipulates that 50 of it's parliament have to be Christians and the other half have to be Muslims. Furthermore, the president is to be a Maronite, the prime minister a Sunni, and the speaker a Shi'a. The youth of Lebanon are unhappy with so much empasis on the various sects and want to move to proportion voting and a secular state. What's their sect? It's none of your business!
