Today, Lebanese Christian Cabinet minister Pierre Gemayel was murdered by assassins who were likely sent by Syrian officials who oppose the Democratically-elected government of Lebanon. Lebanon is a divided country, split between Christians and Muslims. The Christians of Lebanon are the last native hold-outs in the Middle East and are surrounded by a sea of hate in the form of Muslim extremism. It is difficult to distinguish these days between so-called "moderate Muslims" and "Islamic extremists" in that region. Animalistic acts like this man's murder are the result of an entire culture based on hate, evil, and destruction. Mr. Gemayel had just left Church and was in a Christian neighborhood when he was gunned down. This is pure madness and evil. I propose that all Christians in the United States pledge their complete support for Lebanese Christians. We owe them that much.
To the Lebanese Christians: We support you.
