Chinu, do you think Christians in the Middle East are basically finished? (they certainly do not have IDF to protect them) Looks like International Community does not give a hoot either

Lebanese Christians:
Perhaps the most dramatic plight today, is the one of the most sophisticated Christian community in the Middle East. Reverend Simon Essef, a Maronite priest in exile in Montreal, and spiritual mentor of the World Lebanese Organization (WLO) in Canada declared in a speech delivered in the Maronite Church in Chicago: "the Christians of Lebanon are of all denominations. They represent the Christian faith in all of its manifestations. But our people has another characteristic. We are the descendants of the oldest Christians on Earth, after the disciples. And we are the descendants of a Christian nation, which despite the fury of the Arab Islamic conquest, remained Christians and resisted in our mountains for 13 centuries." Essef said "that's why we are paying the price of belonging to a religion and a civilization. We have been resisting the tide of Arabization and Islamization for more than a thousand years. And now, the Islamists are waging a campaign of political, demographic, legal, military, and economic suppression against our communities." Essef revealed that 300 Lebanese Christians were arrested by Syrian intelligence and transfered to Damascus and Palmyra detention centers. "Like the Nazis, the Baathists of Hafez Assad are torturing these young men and women, many died, others became insane. In Jezzine, the last Christian enclave of Lebanon and the Middle East which is not under Arab Islamic rule, children and elderly are assassinated by the terrorist organization Hizbollah and by Beirut's security services. We ask the world to come to our rescue. Our Christian nation is dying. And if the Christians of Lebanon vanish, the Christians of the Middle East will follow. |
