They called themselves Syrians and not Lebanese

And more delusions from our dear Clyde who really has no evidence to support his bogus claim that we can find the name of Jerusalem in the book of his Allah then he tells us about his cockamamie "golden arches" and when he was reminded that even Abd al-Malik the khalifa that built this so called mosque was not able to recognize those funny golden arches and tell us that this is indeed the site of the Quranic al-masjad al-aqsa so how come he did not know any guesses?

> . I am a proud Christian Arab American, by BIRTH, of Lebanese ancestry well,

Oh more delusions

Hello: No sane Christian of Middle Eastern ancestry (be it Copts, Suryoyo, Chaldean, Maronite, Armenian, Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholic etc.... or even your bizarre Episcopalian) would regard himself as an Arab because they are not Arabs

But you know what? What makes your claim even more bogus is the fact that you told us in your little story that your parents were born in the US and you know what? Those Christians that immigrated from the Levants to the US at the trun of the 19th century and early 20th century called themselves SYRIANS and not Lebanese even those that came from Jabal Libnan so ...before your post ..do your home work for a change. Shame on you
