note: 17 religious sects recognized
Who do you suppose 39% of the population is rooting for and who is reporting that story?

Not Israel, that is for sure. Israeli forces under the command of Ariel Sharon (before he was their elected leader) massacred Christians in Lebanon. Lebanon's President is also a Christian, as a matter of fact.
It's also worth noting that while Druze consider themselves Muslims, most other Muslims do not consider Druze to be Muslims.
