Help[Opinions] Re: The Octuplet Names
in reply to a message by Sofia
Well, don't want cause a massive OT discussion here, but a consistent part of the Lebanese population is Christian. Also there's a minority of Christian Palestinians. Interestingly enough, 2% of the population of Gaza is Christian.
But, while Dr Kent is right to point out that Arab and Muslim aren't synonims, I made the same assumption that the family in question was probably Muslim, as none of the articles I read indicated their religion, one of the articles mentioned that the octuplets' grandfather is Palestinian-born but made no mention of the family's religion.

There are plenty of Palestinians who are Christian, and as Christian Palestinians have had a much higher emigration rate than Muslim ones, the % of Palestinian-Americans who are Christian is much higher than that back in Palestine.
Around 10% of the population of Egypt is Christian, mostly Copts:

I've known a few Arab Christians but then again I come from a VERY Christian background.
