Not for it.  Call it a civil union if you must but not marriage.

Yes it can if each partner respect the other and their families are understanding.. My mum wasnt a msulim when she married my dad and shes from a totallly different culture(my dads arab, shes british) but things worked out fine.. my mum actually knows much more about our culture than i do.. my dads family LOVE my mum.. my mum was so happy with all of this that she began seeing what true muslims are like and she converted to islam.. and she says she couldnt be happier.. but i also know of many other non muslim women who have married muslims and it all depends on the families,  alot of them have bad relationships.. it depends

Actually, you refer to a Christian politician in Lebanon.  He was murdered because he does not support Syria.

yes! ~ I agree! ~ Marriage is sacred and shouldn't be changed to conform to those who want to make it less than what it is.  If they want a civil union with the same benefits as marriage, fine.  But marriage shouldn't be changed.  And this has nothing to do with the bible ~ this is about the tradition and the meaning of marriage.

the ULC (and all like organizations) is great but it has legally questionable status for the ablity to solemnize marriage in a few states such as New York, Virginia, and North Carolina.  A state in which the marriage would occur would help

it's hard to find headhunters in beirut. you need to know someone with strong connections in Lebanon that can help you. "wasta" is the key

I would think so. Why your asking is beyond me is you married someone there.

Are you kidding?  Factions WITHIN each of those religions contradict each other you can't expect separate religions to agree on anything!

Legally, if you're a major, you can marry anyone you like. However, both Hindus and Muslims carry prejudices against each other because of a centuries-long history. It is unfortunate that instead of shedding our prejudices with our better education and enlightenment, we strengthen them. And it is plain sad that they come in the way of the happiness of two individuals. \n\nI'm sure both communities will greatly benefit if only they stop this belligerent attitude against each other. Both communities have a lot to offer, and removal of their mutual hatred will greatly strengthen us as a country. But there are vested interests, which want to keep the communities divided and at each other's throats, and so long as we are willing pawns in their game, we shall always remain victims. \n\nIt's up to like-minded individuals from both sides to get together and turn a new leaf over, and I sincerely hope the younger generation sees more light, and works towards bringing about a long-overdue and much-needed fundamental attitudinal change. \n\nI admit it's an uphill task for anyone who undertakes it. May God help all in this endeavour.

Yes. The crisis made worse the already existing tensions and stresses of Lebanese politics. I am not sure by how much - there is no measurement of political crisis. But Hezbollah has a presence in Lebanese Parliament and when the ministers resign it does exacerbate the political tensions.\n\ncc

The breakdown of Lebanon between '67 and '76 affects them still today. Lebanon is one of the middle east's most open and democratic states. The key questions hinge over whether the state or civil society have supremacy and how their relationship affects regime stability in crisis situations.

Yes to your first q,\n\nLike any relationship there were obstacles and fights... we are after all still human.

No.  But they do have to have a wedding at the courthouse (like our justice of the peace).  Many have church weddings, but the courthouse wedding is the one that matters to the state.

From the Israeli standpoint it is a bad deal.  Hezbollah is just using the time to regroup.  They are doing a good job at the hearts and minds campaign.  Lebanon gets crap.  Hezbollah is a para-military group made up of many foreigners that is bolder and more mobile and professional than the Lebanese army.  What Lebanon get is weaker.  This is what you call being at loggerheads.  Which is basically what a war looks like.  Guess what?  I didn't say a word about the Palestinians did I.  What do they get, I don't know.  Nothing probably in the above scenario.

Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah (and their supporter Syria) cannot be allowed to undermine the democratically elected Siniora government in Lebanon (and the Christians of the country) by killing off the political figures who dare voice their opinions against them.  They CANNOT be allowed to give themselves the power they so savagely seek.  Gemayel is one of the brave, one of the many who have died for the cause of a free Lebanon.  The international community should step in.  There should be a state of emergency called in the Lebanon.  This has to stop because I want my children to be able to return to visit their family members in a FREE Lebanon.  God have mercy upon the soul of Pierre Gemayel and all who have died for their dream of a free and beautiful Lebanon.
