Civil disagreement

Different reporting styles: on the rise of civil society in Lebanon: Al-Akhbar's title: "More than 20,000 NGOs in Lebanon, are we going to have one NGO per citizen?" The article, in Arabic goes on to expose the exponential increase in proselytizing Islamic NGOs in the North of Lebanon in the past year, all granted legality by Ministers Fatfat and al Sabeh.

The Daily Star article celebrates civil society, and it support to the displaced during the July war and its efforts to promote nationalism (which sometimes sounds like chauvinism with a hint of bigotry, like Lunbani w' bass: "only Lebanese", as if being anything else makes you a lesser human being, and unable to contribute to civil peace).
