Beirut-Center Poll: In Lebanon, Sunni-Shia'a divide more hype than harm

The coining of the Jordanian Abdullah of a "Sunni-Shia'a divide" is holding less less water as time pass. According to a new poll by the Beirut-Center (Abdo Saa'd) 96.8% of Sunnis in Lebanon and 99.2% of Lebanese Shia`as find the US Role in Iraq to be negative. Whereas, 70.4% of Sunnis and 99.6% of Shia'as find the US role in Lebanon to be negative. Most importantly tough we see that 51.6% of Sunnis and 95.6% of Shia`as are all for Iran acquiring Nuclear weapons. Also of note, and to the great dismay of the Jordanian Abdullah, 48% of Sunnis believe that the policies of Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are "extensions" of a US policy, whereas only 11% of Sunnis believed that Iran policies did support the US's role in the region. And 75% of Shia'as and 88% of Sunnis believed that the Gov't of Nuri Al Maliki was "illegitimate". Read the full copy of the poll (in Arabic) here.
