Since their inception, the Druzes have enveloped their religious beliefs, and it remains the same today.  "The Druzes," says Dr. Najla Abu Izzidinne, in The Druzes, E.J. Brill, 1984, "have robust qualities.  They are a self-confident people; they have dignity of bearing, and refinement of manners.  These qualities are found in Druze societies, high and low. The Druzes are found everywhere around the worldThey have maintained their beliefs, and at the same time, their dignity and fidelity to the land in which they live. In the United states, the Druzes are respected and admired for their good breeding and manners."

The 'americandruzeheritage' documentary gives a presentation of the important aspects of the Druze Faith:

The 'Druze Community' from its founding in the early 11th Century AD to the present day;

The 'Migration of the Druze and Impact on the History of the Druze in America;'

The 'Creation of the Druze sect' as derived from its Islamic roots, and

A 'View of the Druze Faith' as perceived by Christian, Moslem, as well as, Druze scholars.

In this website, I have written the praises of a people that are a minority in the world; that have survived one thousand years, and that have the admiration and respect of the communities that they live in, wherever that may be in the world more
