Christianity or Islam in the internal and external conflict and dialogue can be seen in today’s Lebanon. The first civil war between Christianity and Islam began in 1842; at that time Lebanon was under Ottoman rule through Muslim agent, and was divided into two districts. The Christian Maronites refused the management of Muslim Druzes and then the first civil war broke out in 1860. After the civil war, Lebanon opened a new pattern of peace dialogue. Different religious groups had an agreement to promote peace within the territory in 1861. The second civil war between Christianity and Islam was seen in three periods. During 1975-1977, the war mainly broke out in the Christian political parties, the government coalitions and PLO and Lebanese Union. Between 1978 and 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon. From June,1982 to October, 1990, there was a large scale external intervention in internal affairs. After several generations of the conflicts, dialogue from different religious communities was advocated to build the balance of the power between them. This essay attempts to discuss the internal conflicts and dialogues between Christian Maronites and Jacobites, and between Shi’ites and Sunnis. It also aims to figure out how to propose dialogue between different religious groups in order to attain peace in the future. |
