About the article "Lebanon", section "Demographics".

Candidate passages:
Lebanese Colombians are Colombians of Lebanese descent.
Most of the Lebanese escaped to Colombia because of financial hardships and the repressions of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
When they were first processed in the ports of Colombia, they were classified as Turks because what is modern day Lebanon was a territory of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
It is estimated that Colombia has a population of 700,000 of Lebanese descent.
Many Lebanese settled in the Caribbean region of Colombia, particularly in the cities of Santa Marta, Lorica, Fundación, Aracataca, Ayapel, Calamar, Ciénaga, Cereté, Montería and Barranquilla, near the basin of the Magdalena River.
The Lebanese subsequently expanded to other cities and by 1945 there were Lebanese living in Ocaña, Cúcuta, Barrancabermeja, Ibagué, Girardot, Honda, Tunja, Villavicencio, Pereira, Soatá, Neiva, Buga, Chaparral and Chinácota.
The four major hubs of Lebanese population were present in Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bucaramanga, Bogotá, Medellin and Cali.
The number of immigrants entering the country vary from 5,000 to 10,000 in 1945.
Some of these immigrants were Christian-Lebanese and others were adept to Islam.
In the 1940s, another wave of Lebanese immigrants came to Colombia, settling in the town of Maicao in northern Colombia.
These immigrants were mostly Muslims and were attracted by the thriving commerce of the town which was benefiting from the neighboring Venezuelan oil bonanza and the usual contraband of goods that flowed through the Guajira Peninsula.  
As part of a large scale emigration in the 1870s, numerous Lebanese (mostly Christians) migrated in great numbers out of Lebanon to various destinations.
Most emigrated to Brazil and other Latin American nations, particularly Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador.
Many also went to the United States, and others to Australia, primarily to the eastern states, and most to New South Wales in particular.
Thus, Australia's Lebanese population is one of the older established non-English speaking minorities in the country (though many Lebanese people now speak English, to a greater or lesser extent).
Although it is considerably smaller in numbers to Greek Australians, Italian Australians, or German Australians, they are nonetheless of a similar vintage.
In the 1890s, there were increasing numbers of Lebanese immigrants to Australia, part of the mass emigration from the area of the Lebanon that would become the modern Lebanese state, and also from the Anti-Lebanon region of what would become Syria.
Under the White Australia policy of the nineteenth century (and with Lebanon being located in the Middle East, geographically known as South West Asia) Lebanese migrants were classified as Asians and came within the scope of the White Australia policy which intentionally restricted non-white immigration to Australia.
Lebanese migrants, like others deemed non-white by Australian law, were excluded from citizenship, the right to vote and employment, and were treated as enemy aliens during World War I and World War II.
In 1897 Lebanese store keepers and businesses were accused of fraud by state border Customs officers during Queensland customs prosecution cases.
Prior to 1918, Lebanese migrants to Australia were not habitually distinguished from Turks because the area of modern Lebanon was a province of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
Administration then passed to the French Mandate for several decades, which ruled it together with what would become Syria, its neighbour.
Hence, for that period, the Lebanese were not distinguished from Syrians.
From 1920, people from Lebanon (and Syria) were granted access to Australian citizenship as the "Nationality Act 1920" removed the racial disqualification from the naturalisation laws.
By 1947, there were 1,886 Lebanese-born in Australia, almost all Christian.
The Lebanese born population numbered 24,218 in 1971 and had doubled to 49,617 in 1981.
Following the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975, more than 20,000 civil war refugees arrived in Australia.
This wave of migrants were often poor and for the first time, over half of them were Muslim.
This influx of new migrants changed the character of the established Lebanese community in Australia significantly, especially in Sydney where 75% of the Lebanese-born population were concentrated.
For the remainder of the 1970s and 1980s, unrest in Lebanon caused a large increase in the number of Lebanese migrating to Australia, continuing with a significant proportion being comprised by Muslims.
In 1991, there were 68,787 people who were first generation immigrants born in Lebanon and 67,453 second generation people associated with Lebanon as a birthplace.
The Lebanese in Melbourne have opened restaurants and groceries and Middle Eastern shops and Lebanese bars on Sydney Road which is sometimes called "Little Lebanon".
Following the trials for a series of gang rape attacks in Sydney in 2000 by a group of Lebanese, the Lebanese Muslim Australian community came under significant scrutiny by the media in addition to a more general anti-Muslim backlash after the 11 September 2001 attacks.
Community concern and divisiveness continued in the wake of the 2005 Cronulla riots in Sydney.
Key events and organisationsThere are now many Lebanese-Australian business groups, businesses and events aimed primarily at engaging the large Lebanese community in Australia and strengthening ties between Australia and Lebanon.
The peak business body is the Australian Lebanese Chamber of Commerce, with associations in both Sydney and Melbourne.
A Lebanese Film Festival has been launched in Sydney for 2012.
This will showcase Lebanese arts and culture through film and becomes the premier showcase of Lebanese cinema outside of Lebanon. 
A Lebanese Argentine is an Argentine citizen of Lebanese descent or a Lebanon-born person who resides in Argentina.
Many of the Lebanese Argentines are descendants of immigrants, largely of Arab cultural and linguistic heritage and/or identity, originating from what is now Lebanon.
Although a highly diverse group of Argentines — in ancestral origins, religion and historic identities — Arab Argentines hold a heritage that shares common linguistic, cultural, and political traditions.
The majority of the 1.5 million Lebanese Argentines are Christians, the Muslims being a small minority in comparison to them.
The interethnic marriage in the Lebanese community, regardless of religious affiliation, is very high; most community members have only one parent who has Arab ethnicity.
As a result of this, the Lebanese community in Argentina shows marked language shift away from Arabic.
Only a few speak any Arabic, and such knowledge is often limited to a few basic words.
Instead the majority, especially those of younger generations, speak Spanish as a first language. 
The Arab diaspora in Colombia refers to the Arab immigrants and their offspring in the Republic of Colombia.
Most of the Arab Middle Easterners came from Lebanon, Syria and Palestine escaping from the repression of the Turkish Ottoman Empire and financial hardships.
When they were first processed in the ports of Colombia, they were classified as Turks because what is modern day Lebanon, Syria and Palestine was a territory of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
It is estimated that Colombia has a Lebanese population of 700,000.
Most of the Syrian-Lebanese established themselves in the Caribbean Region of Colombia in the towns of Santa Marta, Lorica, Fundación, Aracataca, Ayapel, Calamar, Ciénaga, Cereté, Montería and Barranquilla near the basin of the Magdalena River.
They later expanded to other cities and by 1945 there were Arab Middle Easterners moving inland like Ocaña, Cúcuta, Barrancabermeja, Ibagué, Girardot, Honda, Tunja, Villavicencio, Pereira, Soatá, Neiva, Buga, Chaparral and Chinácota.
The four major hubs of Arab Middle Eastern population were present in Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bogotá and Cali.
Most arrived as members of the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, but the majority became Roman Catholic.
The number of immigrants entering the country vary from 5,000 to 10,000 in 1945.
Most of these immigrants were Christians and others were Muslims. 
Lebanese Canadians are Canadian nationals of Lebanese origin.
There are according to the 2006 Census some 165,150 Canadians of Lebanese origin, making them by far the largest group of people with Arabic-speaking roots.
Lebanese immigration began in 1882, because of situations within Lebanon and restrictive Canadian laws these immigrants were 90% Christian.
These immigrants were mostly economic migrants seeking greater prosperity in the New World.
In more recent years this pattern has changed, and large numbers of Lebanese Muslims and Druze have come to Canada.
Immigration laws were liberalized after the Second World War, and immigration steadily increased in the 1950s and 1960s.
The greatest influx of Lebanese was during the Lebanese Civil War, and this period saw a number of Lebanon's wealthiest and best educated move to Canada to flee the violence in their homeland.
Canada was the only western country (besides Australia) to set up special programs to enable Lebanese to more easily come to Canada and it set up an office in Cyprus to process Lebanese refugees.
Many Lebanese speak French and unlike most other immigrant groups preferred to settle in francophone Montreal than anglophone Toronto and Vancouver.
About half the Lebanese-Canadian community is located in and around Montreal, and most Lebanese-Canadian organizations, especially religious ones, are based in that city.
When it comes to their share of the overall population, Lebanese people account for a larger share of the population of Ottawa than that of any other census metropolitan area across the country where they make up over 2% of the total population of the National Capital Region.
At the same time, people of Lebanese origin also made up more than 1% of the total populations of both Montreal and Halifax, while the figure was close to 1% in both Calgary and Edmonton.
In Toronto, people of Lebanese origin made up less than a half a per cent of the total population.
There are also substantial Lebanese populations in Vancouver, Windsor, London, Edmonton and Charlottetown.
Media reported that as many as 50,000 of Lebanese-Canadians were in Lebanon during the summer of 2006, with about half this number permanently residing there.
During 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict the large number of Canadians led rise to a major effort to evacuate them from the war zone.
It also led some pundits to accuse some of those holding Canadian citizenship of being "Canadians of convenience".
