There are also novels, such as The Druze in the Middle East, which tell about their faith and stories.
In addition, the Druze are stereotyped for being overly loyal to anyone. While they are extremely loyal to the country to which they live they are not loyal to anyone in any war. Most recently, Druze men have been refusing to fight in the Israeli army and war, and even go to say that they'd rather be put in prison than fight. They feel that they should be able to have the choice and most choose no because the Israelis have taken away land and are facing a tougher economy than that of their arab neighbors.

I was fascinated to find that there was a movie about the Druze, especially since I did not realize how wide spread and prominent their religion was. While I did see many advertisements and pictures for the movie I thought it was really interesting that I couldn't find a full description or plot of the movie, solely a pithy one.
