Lebanese Christians have been immigrating to Australia over a longer period and in much greater numbers than Lebanese Muslims. This is reflected in proportion of christians and Musilims who have been in Australia more than 10 years. While two-thirds of the Christians Lebanese have been in Australia more than 10 years only one-third of the Muslim Lebanese have been here that length of time. The sect with the largest proportion resident in Australia more than 10 years are the Maronite Catholics and the sect with the lowest proportion are the shi'a Muslims have been in Australia between five and 10 years.
Although the Lebanese Christians sample has been in Australia longer and are more numerous than the Lebanese Musims sample, in the last 10years Lebanese Muslim migration has been slightly larger than Lebanese Cristian migration and respectively.

Because of Australia's open-multiculturalism, this influx and increase of Muslim and Christians may lead to further racism issues. But I must say that I am very surprised that Lebanese Christians have been coming to Australia Lebanese Muslims!
