Salim Huss and his wife: a love story

I don't like to comment on people's private lives so I apologize: but I wrote this story on Facebook in Arabic, and here it is. One of the greatest love stories is that between Salim Huss (former Lebanese prime minister) and his late wife. When she was on her death bed, she requested that she convert from Christianity to Islam.  Salim was very hesitant because when they got married, each kept his faith. She insisted and explained that she wants to be next to him in a cemetery when he dies.  Her wish was respected.  (In Lebanon cemeteries, like everything else, are sectarian).
