Summary Kefah Allush visits the largest Druze community in a mountainous region of Lebanon. They are quite aloof, having suffered Christian and Muslim persecutions. Their very faith is a mystic secret, apart from some main elements and the guiding value of the Quran, only known to about a quarter of their population, the 'initiated', who live under strict, almost monastic rules, the majority is extremely liberal and well-integrated, especially on good terms with Islam, posing as a 'branch of it', but have no problem with marrying outsiders. Kefah Allush attends a funeral, which sounds very Muslim-like, and attends an audition of the 'prince' of the wealthy Jumblatt family, which dominates their political representation in the compartmentalized Lebanese system.
