Some christians converted, many remained christians. Some married arabs... it didn't happen overnight, it took time. Just a few decades ago, the majority of the lebanese were christians, now 70% of the population are muslims.

Yes...there are about 10 000 000 people of lebanese descent outside Lebanon, they're not all christians though. A lot of them left Lebanon, in the 19th century and WWI...
 
I think Finniqis are the Amelechites. They were idol worshipers and their religion had reached Arabs in Mecca before prophet Muhammad was born. I heard that Orthodox Jew prayers too sounds like Arabic prayers. Those in Iraq call themselves Kaldani (Chaldean).

I have a question, do the Lebanese Sunnis and Lebanese Shi'is consider the Lebanese Druzes as Muslims?
 
Assyrian month is almost the same with Arabic month used in Syria and Lebanon, I just realized that. I'm not sure whether I transcribed them correctly.

Aadar: March (Aazar)
Nisaan: April (Niisaan)
Yaar: May (Ayyaar)
Khaziiran: June (7aziraan)
Tammuuz: July (Tammuuz)
Tdaabaakh: August (Aab)
Eilul: September (Ailul)
Tishrin Qamaya: October (Tishrin Awwal)
Tishrin Kharaya: November (Tishrin Thani)
