To be Lebanese, is to be a believer in the Lebanese distinctive identity and deeply rooted history. The identity of love, peace, benevolence, courage, devotion, The identity of civilization, freedom and democracy, The identity of our great ancestors, Cadmus, Aheram, Hannibal and Zinoon, The identity of martyrdom, sacrifice and patriotism. A Lebanese is the one that the love of Lebanon circulates in his blood with each breathe, A Lebanese is the one whose mind soul and body are pure and transparent, like the skies of Lebanon, A Lebanese is the one that believes in the holiness of the Lebanese soil. A Lebanese is the one who believes that the ongoing struggle for a free, independent, sovereign Lebanon is a destiny and a sacred duty, and not a choice. We want the whole world to know that martyrdom is a Phoenician invention. We want the whole world to know that sacrifice is not only a national obligation for the Lebanese, but a tradition and a heritage. We want the whole world to know that although we peach peace and love, and practice what we preach, we are also fierce fighters and ready always to die for our beloved Lebanon and for the holy symbols that it personifies to us. Lebanon is a ball of fire, it enlightens the darkness for those who yearn for the light. At the same time it burns the hands of those who dare to infringe on its rights. My dear Lebanese comrade stand tall like the holy Cedars of your beloved Lebanon Be proud for being a Lebanese, and do not ever forget that to be Lebanese is to be open minded, tolerant, peace loving and fearing Al mighty God and His Day Of Judgment.
