Why don’t the Christians in both Lebanon and Syria immigrate to Europe is allegedly what Sarkozy asked the Maronite religious leader on his recent visit to France. According to the article, Christians had no place in the Middle East given the clash between Christianity and Islam. The Maronite leader was shocked by what he heard which prompted the French leader to point to a document that cites how over three million Christians immigrated from Lebanon over the past 20 years and that the Middle East will face many problems in the future.One wonders, but not very much, what the French president thinks about all those Muslims in France.
