    Sure, I'll let you know the next time I'm in Pakistan. I'll just ask everyone, I guess.

    By the way, I've always wondered. The people you meet in the Middle East and South Asia, do you tell them that you're a Buddhist (provided that the discussion ventures into religion)? If you do, what's their reaction?

    Just a note: I've never even been further east than Ba'albek, Lebanon.

    Yeah, my uncle asked me four years ago what I believed in. I said I wasn't a Muslim, so he just shrugged and went along with his business. The people in Lebanon were like "lol okay", even the people in Ba'albek whom we knew were Hezbollah. I've had a grand total of one negative reaction in Jerusalem, from this dude who told me that me and my mother were going to hell.

    Literacy is overrated as a statistic, this thread is proof.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Yeah, I'm crazy. I'm totally crazy.

    What you're apparently forgetting is that Hezbollah isn't just a militia, they're a political party with supported by many different people from many different kinds of social environments. What you're also forgetting is that some people are aligned to Hezbollah, but aren't really active about it. Such as sizeable amounts of people in cities such as Ba'albek and Saida.

    To be honest, I'm more scared of the Phalange than of Hezbollah right now.
