Unlike the surrounding Arab countries, Lebanon, as it is mountainous, has an advantage of a geographical feature for the preservation of Chrstanity which is in the minority. Most of the Christians in Lebanon belong to the Maronites, a group that rose in the 4th century. Lebanon has mixed racial origins including Phoenician, Creek, Armenian, Arabic, and Kurdish and there are also seventeen religious sects approved in public by the government of Lebanon: Sunni, Shiite, Druze, the Ismail, the Alawiy, the Maron, the Creek Orthodox and Catholic churches, the Armenia Orthodox and Catholic churches, the Syria Orthodox and Catholic churches, the East Nestorius Sect, the Caldian sect, the Evangelical sect, the Roman Catholic and other few including the Jewish Community. Although Lebanon has various religious and radical factions, through long conflicts and negotiations over the past few centuries, the Republic of Lebanon came into being, most of which is occupied by Christians. However, as Islamic countries, the majority of which are Muslim, surround Lebanon there is a possibility of heavy influence from external forces. The Public Agreement approved in 1943 regulates that the president shall come from the Maron sect, a Christian, the Prime Minister from the Sunnis, and the president of the national assembly from Shiites and members of the national assembly shall be shared between Christians and Muslims in a ratio of five to six respectively. Positions within the Cabinet shall be divided equally between each religious sect. Explosive increase of the Muslim population causes the Muslim to make an objection to the vested rights of Christians. A conflict between the Christians who did not want to approve the objection and the Muslim who wanted to realize their objectives caused a civil war in 1958 and from 1975, the war lasted for a long time. The war terminated when an arbitration plan of the Arab league was approved in Taif, Saudi Arabia in 1989. In particular, Syria that did not want Lebanon to be divided into two parts: the Maron Christian Sect and the Muslim, and financial support from Saudi Arabia that hoped to create a stable political situation in the Middle East were the crucial factors for termination of the war. Now, both parties accept their realistic situation and the power is equally divided, but no one knows how long it will last. Christians of Lebanon maintain religious variety, but a problem is that the nation can be stable only when its politics is controlled carefully. Its unstable relationship with Israel should be settled someday. However, the Palestinian problem should be solved first, which can lead to successful settlement of the uncomfortable relationship with Israel.
