#1 Article: "Contrary to Western press reports, indicating high percentages of Christian support for Hezbollah, 90 percent of Christians, 80 percent of Sunni and 40 percent of Shiites in Lebanon oppose Hezbollah," El-Khoury told Christian Solidarity International.

This makes sense. If Western pollsters hire people who might be sympathetic to Hezbollah, it's not surprising that they would rig the polls. Or that respondents might not answer poll questions honestly because they value their personal well-being - which might suddenly come under threat from Hezbollah thugs - more than some blip on a foreign.

#3 "90 percent of Christians ... in Lebanon oppose Hezbollah"

The other 10 percent are suicidal and insane.
