Someone changed "of Lebanese descent" to "of Christian Lebanese descent". I reverted. Christianity is a religion, not an ethnicity. Would anyone say "of Muslim Egyptian descent", or "of Christian Canadian descent"? – Quadell (talk) (random) 02:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- That was me. In the case of the Middle East, yes, religion and ethnicity tend to go hand in hand. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. Korny O'Near 02:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- The phrase gets 58 hits. Compared to over 78,000 for just "Lebanese descent". Which is my point. It isn't a typical way to refer to someone, and it's confusing in that a person can change religions but not ethnicities. – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- How about "born to Christian Lebanese parents" then? That's another common phrasing. Korny O'Near 00:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

"Controversies"
The article lists some of his political statements as "controversies", without explaining why they are controversial. Such opinions may very well be uncommon in the US Congress, but an opinion is not a controversy before it is widely protested and discussed. Sources for that must be found, or this should simply be filed under "Views on the Middle-East" or some other neutral heading (which may be preferable in any case). - O.

Controversies
I've clearly sourced all of the controversial statements made by Mr. Abourezk. I believe that the context of these statements is very obvious.
I think the way I've arranged the controversy section (i.e. Chronologically) is more organized and less polemical than a recent edit.```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyperionsteel (talk • contribs) 02:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
