Sectarianism in Lebanon is a problem rather than a solution, says Lydia Wilson, a researcher from Cambridge University. This very rigid framework that we see along sectarian lines gives people the feeling that they can’t change anything at social, religious and political level and many are planning to leave because they see no hope, even if they want a change to happen. But now that people’s fear has increased, with the imminent threat from ISIS, they feel protection only by the sect, the community.
