I was born in Sidon, Lebanon, a conservative Muslim town, to a conservative yet progressive Druse family. My grandfather had migrated from a village named Atrine, located in the Shuf mountains of Lebanon, before the First World War. He had come to Sidon to begin a business venture, as Sidon was the commercial capital of Lebanon in those days .
