Aoun voices concerns over Christian’s destiny in Middle East and Arab World if ‎conspiration against Syrian Leadership succeeds

Islam Times - Free Patriotic Movement leader and Former Lebanese President, Michel Aoun voiced alarming concerns, during his movement's annual dinner on March 14th, saying that what is happening in Syria is an international agression rather than a revolution.

Aoun's statement comes in accordance with that made by Lebanon's Maronite Patriarch "Bchara Botrous", during his visits to Qatar and Jordan, who expressed great worries of the extremists' having a strong foothold in Syria or even taking the lead in it.

The Lebanese Patriarch who had regret not being able to commence his visit from what he described as the Maronite's Motherland for over 1600 years, assured that "Christians can only survive as part of the Arab World".

Experts view Aoun's statement as a true reflection of the fears of at least 35% of Lebanon's population, the Lebanese christians, of violence on Lebanon's borders with Syria, particularly after reports came out on the presence of radicals over there. This has left Christians in Lebanon with one basic question: "who will insure stability for them if the radicalis take over?
