  “I, and many others beside me, want to live in a secular state, in a country with secular civil rights,” said Kholoud Darwish. Her husband Nidal Darwish agrees. “I’m still Muslim, but my faith is not related to my status as a citizen. I, and many with me, want to live in a secular state, in a country with a secular civil rights,” says Kholoud. “Our marriage is not just about us anymore. It has become a social responsibility for us.” Her husband says: “It is really a different feeling when you feel like a human being getting married to another human being based on human rights and not on sectarian rights”.

• Lebanon’s First Civil Marriage 4

  Rather than fly to nearby Cyprus to tie the knot, Nidal Darwiche and Khouloud Sukkarieh, supported by lawyer Talal Husseini, have attempted to force through the first civil marriage carried out on Lebanese soil.
  The shrillest opposition, however, came from the Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammad Rashid Qabbani. Rather than issue an edict addressing the ‘germs’ of corruption, a disease which he has allegedly contracted, the Mufti issued a frenzied fatwa threatening Muslim legislators and ministers with apostasy if they support “the germ of civil marriage”.

• Palestine: Shimon Peres From The Perspective Of His Victims
  1 October 2016, by siawi3

  The verdict on his life is very clear and was already pronounced by US President Barack Obama: Peres was a man who changed the course of human history in his relentless search for peace in the Middle East. My guess is that very few of the obituaries will examine Peres’ life and activities from the perspective of the victims of Zionism and Israel.

  Le Bureau politique du PCL considère que le pays va droit à un nouveau précipice, à cause des combats itinérants et de l’atmosphère de mobilisation confessionnelle qui exacerbe la tension.

  On January 14, Hamas official Mohammed Hamdan was wounded when a bomb exploded in his car next to his home in Sidon. Officials said the suspects attached an explosive device to Hamdan’s car and detonated it from afar, believing he was already seated inside.

• Le Liban sera exposé tant que son système politique basé sur le confessionnalisme n’aura pas été réformé.
  11 avril 2007
  Pendant la guerre de 1975-1990, chaque communauté du Liban a tenté d’avoir sa « période de gloire » dans la quête générale du pouvoir : les chrétiens en se rapprochant d’Israël, les sunnites et les druzes en défendant la cause palestinienne. Engagée en  (...)

  30 October 2013, by siawi3

  Ex-Muslim atheists are becoming more outspoken, but tolerance is still rare: ex-Muslim atheists are guilty of apostasy—a hudud crime against God, like adultery and drinking alcohol. Potential sanctions can be severe: eight states, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania and Sudan have the death penalty on their statute books for such offences.
