Marhaba.

I live in Lebanon, Aley district. Israeli airstrike targets are at proximity of my location. Beirut, and particularly Dahieh, is completely visible from my balcony. There are also refugees sheltered in my town.

Other things to know about me: I am a leftist, and a legal and political writer.

P.S. I will answer anything (as it is with AMA posts), not only issues pertaining to the recent events.

    Sikhs are Muslim to islamophobes.

    It had almost nothing to do with religion in the end of the day, it is mostly about race

      Yeah, two thirds of the ~250,000 Lebanese Australians are Christian of some denomination but you'd never know that from the media or coverage of racism

      So true. And also why it personally bothers me when south Asian's are Islam phobic. Like , when they say "Muslim" they mean you and me and you won't get any points for also being racist.
