Lebanon mosque sends message of co-existence

Mukhtara, Lebanon

FROM a distance, there's little to suggest that the building at the entrance of the Druze heartland village of Mukhtara in Lebanon's Chouf mountains is a mosque.

After all, despite practising a faith that is an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, the Druze do not worship at mosques, and the building strays far from the traditional rendering of a Muslim prayer house.
