Why Lebanon Doesn’t Change

There is a very old Arabic saying that says “As you are, so you shall be ruled” (كما تكونوا يولى عليكم). This means that a people is ruled by representatives who are like them. This is especially the case in Lebanon. The similarities between the Lebanese people and their representatives are many. Here are six …

Last Chance for Lebanon

Before I left Lebanon around 3 years ago, and as I announced it to my family, friends, and students, I was met back with a lot of indignation.

Be Religious…not Obnoxious

As a spiritual author and blogger with plenty of quotes and articles about religion and spirituality, I get my fair share of religious fanatics trying to make me “see the light”.

A Leaderless Democracy: the Solution to Lebanon’s Crisis

In light of the recent revolution in Lebanon, many issues have come to light and many others remain undiscussed.
