| [IsraelTimes] Every day around sunset, dozens of residents of Qaa, a small Lebanese Christian village on the border carry their automatic rifles and deploy on surrounding hills, taking up positions and laying ambushes in case Moslem Lions of Islam from neighboring Syria attack. "We all know that if they come, they will slit our throats for no reason," said one villager as he drove through the streets of Qaa, an assault rifle resting next to him. For months, Lebanese Christians have watched with dread as other Christians flee Islamic Lions of Islam in Syria and Iraq, fearing their turn will come next. Fears multiplied after murderous Moslems from Syria overran a border town last month, clashing with security forces for days and killing and kidnapping Lebanese soldiers and coppers. |
