2. There was a sizable migration of Lebanese people to South Louisiana (mostly Lafayette, do Saloom and Boustany ring any bells?) after World War 1 due to the shared french language (Lebanon was a french colony). Serops is owned by one such descendent and i think Roma's is as well.


And Chris John and Michael DeBakey and the late Ted Kennedy's spouse

People that attend university from this region typically head toward Paris, France. In fact, I believe much of their primary schooling is conducted in french. The educated Lebanese/Syrians are usually polyglots, speaking Arabic, Levantine Arabic (from Aramaic & Punic), French, English, etc.

i am very concerned about our government funding the rebels in Syria....I have absolutely no control over that. I do have control over how and where to spend my after tax income.




Our government has funded every middle eastern terrorist organization. Your money has shed innocent lives. not that you care.

You know Shaquille O'Neal is a Muslim right? Would you be afraid for your children to shake his hand because he might get some of that "terrorist stank" on them?
Shaq. Chris Jackson. LSU is a breeding ground for radical jihadists.
