leik 7abibe i know what is happening 1st hand in hadath as my wife is from the place. hadath is included in dahiye sa7 but alot of the new buyers are shia. it has gone from a majority 70% christian city with no muslim voters to a 60% muslim majority city in 20 years.
go get some lands in haret hreik and hadath and burj l barajneh where once a vibrant christian community flourished.
Aha, but see, you replied to SeaAb's suggestion that the Lebanese people are free to elect a new Christian majority to parliament if they believe they'll do a better job by saying -
better than sucking HA **** which caused Al Hadath to become 60% muslim.
- insinuating that an LF approach would have been harder on the matter and that it would have prevented the growth of the Muslim population in Hadat which a supposedly "soft" FPM approach already caused.
I'm just saying you're wrong. The growth of the Shia population in Hadath (or anywhere else in Beirut) is not something you can blame on the FPM. By your own admission, the change happened gradually across 20 years, and involves many other municipalities than Hadat, like the examples you gave. In fact, the FPM has taken strict steps to limit such expansion and to try to prevent the wiping out of Hadat's identity, even if that means employing controversial but necessary methods that can be easily used against it in the media to hurt it politically.
Do you notice the pattern here?
-A complex problem with no easy solution exists, likely due to years of neglect, mismanagement and/or corruption that predates the FPM.
-The FPM arrives into power and attempts to right the wrong, even if it leaves it vulnerable to populist propaganda.
-The FPM gets blamed for both the problem (which isn't its fault), and for their solution to it (which oftentimes should be applauded but is portrayed as controversial in the media), in an attempt to gain politicial points (populism).
-The reforms naturally slow down (3ar2ale), FPM gets blame for THAT as well, FPM supporters have their faith put to the test for the hundredth time, political opponents rally people behind them despite doing nothing but whine and point fingers, and then rinse and repeat.
