All the rest (child-rearing, historical facts, religion, key calendar dates, ways of dressing up...) is different. It would not be a problem though if people were not fundamentally convinced their way was superior to the others (e.g. 'mislim sinni wu bass!'). Of course, even within a single community, the grudges are huge: 'sunnit beirut' look down on 'sunnit trablous' as some kind of unevolved creatures coming from the middle ages with rough accents and a propensity for homosexuality... 'Sunnit trablous' have always to justify they are not gay and look at the 'sunnit beirut' as some kind of degenerated people havinf strayed away from the right path.Mozyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485777487468883847noreply@blogger.com
