What Leads Some Lebanese Shiis to Support Hizballah
In this article, I report the results of a survey of 176 Lebanese Shiis living in metropolitan Beirut administered during the months of December 2010 and January 2011. The data reveal that adherence to Hizballah is associated with personal piety, political alienation, and the frequency of service provision by the party. These findings suggest that those Shii respondents endorse the organization not only for its military capabilities but also as a…
Fatah al-Islam in Lebanon
The objective of this study is to provide through an in-depth investigation of the Fatah Al-Islam organization, emergence, programs, and external links, and the inner operation of this underground Salafi-jihadi group. By divulging secret confession statements to the public, it has uncovered many of the mysteries that surrounded the evolution and goals of the group. On the other hand, and more important, it has examined the application of certain …
Lebanon
This article seeks to interpret recent developments in Lebanon in the light of a well-known theory, consociationalism, which presents itself as a model for the government of deeply divided societies. It therefore begins by looking at the character of this particular approach to government, describing the main features of consociationalism. The next section explores the historical background to contemporary Lebanese politics, from the pre-independ…
Lebanese and Palestinian Perspectives on Suicide Bombings
While suicide terrorism has received tremendous attention from the general public, media and policy-makers in recent years, there are only a few studies that analyze public opinion on political violence in general and terrorism in particular. The article seeks to determine the correlates of support for suicide terrorism among the Lebanese and Palestinians living in South Lebanon and the Palestinian territories. Specifically, it examines the influ…
The Origins of Popular Support for Lebanon's Hezbollah
The present study utilized comprehensive survey research ( n= 256) to understand the reasons behind growing Shi'i support for Hezbollah in Lebanon. It argues that the origins of this support are correlated with the level of satisfaction with government performance and to the degree of personal religiosity displayed by the respondents. The results revealed that Shi'i respondents are first, more likely to support Hezbollah if they display intense r…
A Survey of Lebanese Shi'i attitudes towards Hezbollah
This study has been designed to investigate Lebanese Shi'i respondents' attitudes toward Lebanon's party of God (Hezbollah). Specifically, the study focuses on two research questions. First, what is the extent of support for Hezbollah and its underlying dimensions (that is, the belief it should continue to grow, or that it should be demobilised, and the desirability of confrontation with the Lebanese authorities)? Second, what are the predictors …
Anti‐Americanism in Lebanon
This paper aims at empirically assessing Lebanese reactions to retaliation attacks against US targets. The author proposes that receptiveness to tenets of religious fundamentalism influences approval of these attacks. In view of the surge of Islamic militancy in recent years, he further proposes that Muslim respondents would be likely to show greater support for the attacks than Christians. The data come from a quota sample, consisting of 607 Chr…
The Origins of Popular Opposition to Palestinian Resettlement in Lebanon
Using original public opinion data, this study addresses the reasons behind the growing popular opposition to Palestinian resettlement in Lebanon. It argues that the origins of this opposition are correlated to the religious composition of the population and to the degree of social distance displayed by the Lebanese towards the Palestinians as members of a distinct community. The results revealed that Lebanese respondents are much less likely to …
A Comparative Study of Lebanese and Palestinian Perceptions of Suicide Bombings
In the present study I compare public views regarding suicide bombings using data from two surveys of Palestinian refugees living in southern Lebanon (N = 342) and Lebanese Muslims (N = 553) administered during the summers of 2002 and 2003 respectively. The data reveal that approval of suicide operations is more pronounced among Lebanese than Palestinians. These findings hold even after controlling for individual socio-economic and demographic ch…
The politics of refugees’ non integration
Islam and Attitudes toward U.S. Policy in the Middle East
This study examines the impact of religious orientation on attitudes toward U.S. Middle Eastern policy among Muslim Lebanese. The data came from a stratified random sample, consisting of 262 Sunni and Shi'i respondents of both genders, conducted in the Greater Beirut area during February and March of 2002. Consistent with the literature about Islamism, the present analysis reveals an empirical distinction between personal and political dimensions…

Lebanese Muslim Views of September 11
This research note aimed at empirically assessing Lebanese Muslim views of the September 11 attacks. We proposed that young age and political Islam served as significant determinants of support for the attacks. Although we proposed that Sunni Muslim respondents would manifest more support for the attacks than Shi'is, we advanced that socioeconomic conditions should not affect the views of the respondents. The data came from a stratified random sa…
The political transformation of the Maronites of Lebanon
The aim of this article is to examine the shifting trends in Maronite social and political behaviour in the context of Lebanese politics by drawing on a number of recent surveys. The examination focuses on six dimensions related to feeling towards sectarian leaders; perceived self‐identity; political estrangement and political efficacy; intra‐group attachment; propensity for inter‐group cooperation; and preferred political arrangement. The findin…
The Determinants of Lebanese Attitudes Toward Palestinian Resettlement
A principal goal of this study has been to assess the impact of social distance on attitudes towards Palestinian resettlement using comprehensive cross-cultural survey research. The results are clear and consistent for all Lebanese sub-groups. Social distance is a significant predictor of attitudes toward resettlement for all six sub-groups examined. Specifically, social distance is inversely and consistently associated with unfavorable attitudes…
Islam and U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East
To contribute to an understanding of whether and how religion influences the way that Lebanese Muslims think about U.S. policy in the Middle East, and at the same time to shed light on politics and religion in the Middle East, this study utilizes comprehensive survey data from Lebanon (N = 262) to examine the degree to which, and the conditions under which, personal religiosity and support for political Islam account for variance in attitudes tow…
Lebanese Christians'Attitudes Toward Israel and the Peace Process
The objectives of this article were (1) to examine what Lebanese Christians think about peace with the Jewish state, not what their officials say about it; (2) to determine whether Lebanese Christians have a distinct position that separates them from their Muslim counterparts vis-à-vis the peace process and normalization of relations with Israel. The findings revealed that Lebanese Christians accept different forms of interaction with Israelis. H…
Islam and Terrorism
Lebanese Muslim reactions to the September 11 attacks are assessed using the hypotheses that receptiveness to dogmas of militant Islam and young age would predict approval of the attacks, and education and income, although important in explaining the domestic component of political Islam, would have no bearing on support for the September 11 terrorist attacks. In view of the recent surge of Sunni Muslim militancy, it is proposed that Sunni respon…
The Maronite Legacy and the Drive for Preeminence in Lebanese Politics
The Relevance of Political Trust in Postwar Lebanon
Political trust in Lebanon is perceived to be drastically low. Instead of being regarded as agents of citizens' well-being, public officials are deemed as corrupting forces in the society. This attitude reflects people's discontent as a result of official policy. However, findings indicate that people's dissatisfaction with the government reduces political trust. This situation creates an environment in which it is difficult for those in governme…
Cultural diversity and sectarian attitudes in postwar Lebanon
The objective of this study is to explore attitudes towards cultural diversity in postwar Lebanon. The examination focuses on three exploratory variables related to: distinct group consciousness; inter-group interaction; and perceived impact of cultural diversity. The data, collected between December 1999 and January 2000, come from a nationwide quota sample that comprised 1,073 Lebanese respondents representing the six major religious communitie…
A Survey of Maronite Christian Socio-Political Attitudes in Postwar Lebanon
The objective of this article was to identify the political views, group behavior and attitudes toward inter-communal relations of Lebanese Maronite respondents in postwar Lebanon. The data come from a cross-sectional survey of 561 Lebanese Christian Maronites who were interviewed during November 2000. The examination focused on five exploratory variables related to ethnic group identification, inter-communal relations, views on political confess…
