It's the Tribes (merged thread)

[jmm99]

Musa as-Sadr > Abbas al-Musawi > Hassan Nasrallah, tends to catch one's attention. Of course, their links are also explained by educational feedback between Iraq and Lebanon. But, some or a lot of this may be old family ties in the Jabal Amel.

BTW: Do you have anything on the groups called the Sharafeddine and Noureddine families (obviously transliterated & maybe a bit screwed up) ?

You will make more out of the Arabic section of this website (maybe someone could look at the Farsi). Hey, I can handle the English (such as it is). But, I can't determine whether the Arabic and Farsi add something of value.
