Comments of the
LSTDO:
On
January 1, 2012. Constitution articles are mandatory to protect
minorities from the sale of properties, to protect the Christians in
Lebanon.

1
Over the centuries of permanent persecution of the minorities in the
Middle East, the Christian minority existence is threatened in Egypt,
Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
2
We can maintain the minorities’ rights in a democracy by inscription
materials in the Constitution in order to preserve equality in rights
and duties in a secular state and to acquire the minorities’
representation in a fair percentage into all the state institutions.
3
But this is not enough because the racism in the religious culture is
anchored into the spirit of many people. The abolition of religions in
the current era is impossible.
4
Freedom of belief is necessary, but only if there is non-infringement of
other individuals. When there is a mix between people of conflicting
religions in some sensitive topics, we see some of the clergy to incite
terrorism and to push the minority to escape or migrate.
5
There is an insidious manner to take the minority properties,
progressively purchased within a long term program. This is what happens
in Lebanon against the Christians.
6
In addition over the equal sharing in the state and his institutions, we
must put material in the Constitution prohibiting the sale of Christian
lands to non-Christians, except the exchange between two properties in
order to homogenate religions people in a village or an era in a city.
7
As it was decided not to settle the Palestinians in Lebanon, we must
forbid any land sale to foreigners. What is claimed to be investments in
Lebanon from the rich Arabs is not only a hostile program to make
Lebanon a Muslim country, but also a hidden will to abolish Lebanon
independence.
8
That is why, in addition of the above decisions to protect the
Christians, decentralization must be developed to be able to protect
properties by municipal authorities, and the religion homogeneity of the
people of each village or city era.
9
We also have to develop the laws to prevent the sale and the purchase
with notary procedures and brokers, without any transparency of
transactions. Any contract must to be controlled by the State.
10
Unfortunately, these reforms could not be achieved in bad climate time
of temptation, intimidation, terrorism and fear from 'Islamic Weapons',
which the Syrian regime of Bachar ASSAD had spread to Palestinian
militias, Hezbollah, Baathists, Kaoumiyines, Mouwahhadines, Islamiste
Fatah, Arrivists and others. These weapons have been installed since
1969, principally against the Lebanese Christians before any other
argument. Perhaps, the ignorant followers of Michel Aoun, Suleiman
Franjieh and other agents of the Syrian regime, will understand how much
this file is dangerous.
