Prime Minister Najib Miqati held talks on Wednesday with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi and extended his greetings to him on the occasion of the holidays.

LBC TV said Miqati discussed with al-Rahi the electoral draft law and appointments of civil servants.

The PM did not comment on the Maronite leaders’ approval last week of the Orthodox Gathering’s proposal for each sect to choose its own representatives during the 2013 elections, LBC said.

It quoted Miqati as telling al-Rahi that the cabinet is open to any discussion on the issue.

Miqati only told reporters that he visited al-Rahi to wish him a Merry Christmas.

The premier also visited Catholic Patriarch Gregorius III Lahham and Greek Orthodox Archbishop Elias Audeh later in the day.

We are a country of retards, where our secte (not even religion these days) defines who we are.
each day, the sectarian divide is even greater, without an end to this practice in sight.
what is the value of a christian/sunni/shia/druze/... MP for his secte? I think we should ask ourselves this question first, then decide if this type of thinking is good for us or not.
