Libanon: christenen overwegen militaire actie tegen ISIS

With the exacerbation of the threat of terrorist extremists and its spread to Lebanon, talk has escalated about Lebanese people’s increased inclination to carry weapons, especially in regions that might be targeted by the Islamic State (IS) and Jabhat al-Nusra, as is the case in the northern Bekaa Valley. There has been a lot of talk about the phenomenon of armament and whether it's justified or not. This discussion is especially heated in the Christian community, first because of considerations about the pronounced alignments and second due to the increased sensitivity among Christians to self-security.
