Some of the sunnis are not from Lebanon but refugees from Palestine. They came, they stayed and changed the fiber of the fragile country.

Where is the real map that makes everything just be „Kibbeh“ in different colors?

The map can be misleading if you don’t know the actual demographics. +70% of the population is Muslim, less than 30% Christian. In the 1800s it used to be +80% Christian and only around 8% Muslim. Islam’s conquest of the country led to civil war, and many sectarian conflicts over the century.

I’m Lebanese and this mostly checks out.
Lots of misinformation here.
The Sunnis on this pic are all Lebanese. Syrians and Palestinians aren’t accounted for.
We all mostly share the same culture and interact with each other daily on really good terms. We all look the same and speak the same. Slight accents differ based on location not sect (except for the Druze kaf lol).
I’m Shia Muslim. My ex was Maronite and I’m currently engaged to a Sunni Muslim.
I love this country from the bottom of my heart. It’s a shame we quite literally have the worst 2 neighbors in the entire world.

Many Lebanese Christians are in the diaspora. Here in Brazil there are many; they have integrated, and a large part of the community has become wealthy through commerce. Syrians also came in large numbers. So much so that today esfihas and kibbeh are part of Brazilian cuisine. They say there are a number of people who speak Portuguese in Lebanon.
