"Avoiding clannishness. I am a minority in both Lebanon & the U.S. (Greek-Orthodox in Leb Lebanese in the U.S.) & I learned a strong principle: avoid clannishness meaning overtly privileging people of your background over others. Clannishness causes resentment. Note 1: The G-O in Lebanon have it as an instinctive rule which is the reason they are considered the most neutral (if you ask any other community Shiite Druze Sunni Alawite Armenian which one do you prefer other than yours all say G-O except Maronites). Note 2: Wasps in America are the least clannish; I have many Wall Street anecdotes"

"Bravo. Can you even imagine this a Religious Liberty Commission prepared to fire a commissioner for her Catholic faith If that happens it proves their mission was never religious liberty but a Zionist agenda.
