Your story is utter and complete bullshit. You are talking about the Muhammad al-Amin mosques in downtown which is where former Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri is buried . No church was torn down to build the mosque. I challenge you to produce one shred of evidence to support your claim.
Here is the Christian objection to the building of the mosque:
"We say that they have the right to build a mosque," said Beshara Rai, the Maronite Bishop of Byblos. "But why an enormous mosque next to a church? It's a question of sensitivity and mutual respect. They shouldn't have built this enormous thing."

Don't fabricate, especially in sensitive issues such as religion.
