The Lebanese people are the ones that should decide what is good for their country or not.

Afghanistan etc. So to have troops from Islamic coutries working side by side with them the better the country, you'd stop that problem from occuring.
Ideally there should ONLY be peace keeping troops from Islamic countries.

In particular, the West is looked at as being rotten and immoral because of the more liberal attitude and cultural practices. Religion is separated from the state, which is seen as a weakness.
On the other hand you also have some Westerners who think their culture and religion is superior. They believe the stereotypes about Islam instead of actually talking to people and learning more.
So, basically you have a clash of cultures - each thinking they are superior to the other. More understanding and lessing judging would be useful, but it doesn't seem to be happening with some people.
