أهمية الجبل الجيوبوليتكية لطالما تمتع الجبل بوظائف وأهمية جيوسياسية كبيرتين، فهو يمكن أن يكون ملجأ لجماعة معينة هاربة من ظلم جماعة أخرى أو يمكن أن يؤسس نواة وأرضاً خصبة لتصدير والقيام بثورات وحركات تمرد. إنّ ظاهرة الجبل كملجأ للأقليات نلاحظه بشكل كبير في بلدان الشرق الأوسط عامة وأسيا خاصة عند الجماعات الدينية الأقلية التي هربت من الإضطهاد، فرأت في الجبل مكاناً وملاذاً آمناً لها، فاستوطنته ومكثت فيه. إن الأقليات المسيحية أو الإسلامية في العالم العربي ذات الأكثرية السنية رأت في الجبال ملاذاً آمناً لها. فلبنان هو خير مثال على ذلك. فهذا الأخير وبفضل جباله وأوديته أي طبيعته الجغرافية شكل ملجأ آمناً عبر الأجيال لكل أصحاب عقيدة تخالف عقيدة الجماعة ذات الأكثرية والتي تحيط بها. فقد كان النساك من المسيحيين والمتصوفين من المسلمين والزهاد المتعبدون من الدروز يؤثرون مغاوره وكهوفه بالإضافة إلى الموارنة الذين فروا من اضطهاد اليعاقبة لهم، وجدوا في شمال لبنان ملجأً آمناً. وكذلك الدروز الذين حسبهم الإسلام على شيء من الهرطقة أتوا وسكنوا الجبل اللبناني. وأيضاً، تسربت جموع الشيعة هرباً من الضغط السني عليهم. ولبنان هو جبل بكل ما للكلمة من معنى. فقد كان الخط الفاصل الذي كان الفاتح يستطيع الوصول إليه. وكذلك الأمر للعلويين الذين استوطنوا ما يسمى بجبل أنصارية خوفاً من الإضطهاد الإسلامي لهم، وكذلك الشيعة في اليمن.

Khazen Family History and path to Lebanon
Cheikh Malek Fady El Khazen (born in 1981) founder of khazen.org descendant of Chidiac Sarkis El Khazen (born in 1570) who is the common ancestor of most of the current members of the El khazen family has participated in the Genographic project by taking a sample of his DNA and sent it for test results to the labs of the scientist Spencer Wells lab. The result of this test is very important since it traces the paternal history (through 50 thousands years ago) of the majority of the members of the Khazen family. The results will be the exact same for every member of the Khazen family descendant of Chidiac Sarkis El Khazen (born in 1570) which is most of the khazen family.
Cheikh Malek Fady El Khazen has tested his Y chromosome, which is passed down from father to son and reveals the Khazen direct paternal ancestry up to 50 0000 years ago, therefore the Y chromosome will give the exact same result to all the Khazen Family members. In fact, the Y does not have a matching chromosome most of it (the non-recombining region) escapes the shuffling process known as recombination (between male and female) that occurs every generation in the rest of our genome. This allows the Y to be passed down through a purely male line changed only by random mutation line. In this test Cheikh Malek Fady El Khazen analyzed the Y chromosome which is a purely male line therefore a purely khazen descent.The results reveal our deep ancestry along our single paternal line of direct descent (and show the migration paths they followed thousands of years ago. The results will also place us on a particular branch of the human family tree. These results have confirmed our expectations of our history. This scientific study is first divided in a history and information of the geographic project and the second part describes in detail the DNA results of the el Khazen family and analysis.

Is it About HIV? Hidden Agenda! Written by Malek Khazen Reading the news these last 2 weeks in regards of the visit of His Holiness the Pope to I will cite some titles of articles that were posted only during the days between Mach 26th and March 30th. The purpose of me citing these articles is to outline the extremism in most of the media thoughts. 1. Wrong Message from the Pope 2. Pope 'distorted' HIV evidence guardian.co.uk - Mar 27, 2009 3. Please Pontiffs Remain In 4. Pope damns condoms in AIDS-ravaged 5. Facebook group attacks the 6. The Catholic Church should put its own house in order Daily Nation - Mar 26, 2009 As you can notice, these journalists (I am not sure if they should be called Journalists), only from the titles of their articles (or should I say propaganda) are not looking for a debate, and/or resolving the HIV sickness but rather looking to clash with the Catholics in general and specifically with the Catholics Church. The second important point is that this is only a small illustration of the propaganda that

Lebanese elections strange Phenomenon. Written By Malek el Khazen The Lebanese elections are a strange phenomenon. Usually in an election in any developed countries, the citizens of these countries are interested about the candidates, biography, achievements and most importantly debating their political electoral Program or the party program they represent. In another perspective, we the Lebanese voters have been all waiting for the next elections “June 7” 2009. Media, newspapers, elites and us the people we all discuss about these elections with passion. But notice our discussions are who do you think will win? Who will be running? Who will be part of this or that list? For us to really improve our country I believe it is very important to know what we are voting for. Let us take a simple example, in the In contrast, In

I the Crowd - Malek El Khazen Welcome to my Blog. The purpose of this Blog is to keep you updated with my articles, and political views. Your comments and opinion are much appreciated.
I believe the main role of a government is to create a safe environment for its citizen. The first and only common reason in any "unstable" country is economical alienation of the population. Through lack of job stability, security and education leaders use social, geographic, ethnic, or religion differences to assemble the crowd and lead them to extreme positions.
