It represents the old era of the LF. We Christians will remain in this part of the world and we do not need to show it openly. You are a Christian through your actions and thoughts, and not throught the crosses you wear. I did not say the cross is not an honour to us, but it is a thing of the past. It's not a matter of fashion, its just a need for adaption to the change (or reactivation)that the LF is currently going through. Dear Jim & Othello

Allow me to disagree with you on the issue of the cross... I do not see it as a symbol of radicalism as much as I see in it a symbol of the presence of the christians in this part of the world...if it is still in your heart, then why not show it openly??? Beleive me, he risk of it offending our partners in this country becomes much less when you show it and explain its meaning...but if you keep it in your heart, hidden, mysterious, it will cause uneasiness and fear... I have many muslim friends, who once they came to understand the meaning of this cross, came to accept it for what it is: a symbol and not a threat... Dear John and Gabrielf…

I think the cross is outdated and should be removed. It is no longer a symbol for the LF, the Hakim said it himself. It remains in our hearts however. I believe that the cedar tree is a much better idea and dont frgt that the cross was used during the war to distinguish the tanks of HK from the tanks of Samir. It was a sign of our 'ta3assob' which is no longer the case. I agree with gabriel on the cross issue. I think the cross is outdated and should be removed.

It would seem unwise to start blaming the government now. They responded to a situation that they did not cause or encourage. Hezbollah's actions took everyone by surprise.
