The head of the Sunni political movement in Lebanon has expressed concern over the decline of Christians in the region, allegedly due to growing Shiite influence.
Ahmad Hariri, secretary-general of the Lebanese Future Movement, urged Muslims in Lebanon to "nurture Christian presence" in the region, saying it was an "Arab and Islamic responsibility as much as it is a Christian one."
According to the Jerusalem Post, Hariri is worried about the repercussions of Christian emigration for some Middle East countries.
While Christians used to be a majority in Lebanon, the country has recently witnessed decline, due to emigration and the increase in Muslims.
