Tema: How Rent-a-mob Jihadis are Tormenting a Benighted Christian Minority in Syria

Iniciado por Annuit Coeptis

Christianity and Islam simply cannot co-exist in the same place. Muslim aggression against the Christians goes back to the foundation of the religion itself, with the hateful rantings of the devil-worshipper-in-chief (Muhammed) as the origin and inspiration for this anti-Christian mentality. The Christian brethren in the various Middle Eastern countries such as Syria, so-called Palestine, and Lebanon have often suffered terribly at the hands of Muslims (as well as the Zionists in the areas adjacent to Israel). The indifference of Western Christians is appalling, especially in the US. Very few of my fellow Americans that I've quizzed about the Middle Eastern Christians seem to be even remotely concerned about them.

Hello Annuit,

Despite of the intrinsic violence of islam - proclaimed by the quran and other islamic texts - it has been possible for christians and muslims to co-exist, for some historic periods. I don't mean to imply that those periods have been times of justice and charity, as it is required for peace to be, as a gift of the Lord: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). Yet, without that "minor" peace it would be impossible for those communities of Syrian and Lebanese Christians to survive the centuries and reach these dark and threatening days; as it would be to bring the word of God to the four corners of the world, as it was commanded by the Lord - And He said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned" (Mark 16:15) - as it should be the main concern of any catholic (universalist christian). To that minor peace to be achieved - and major peace to be pursued - muslim leaders that at least tolerate minor peace, even if ill minded, are to be definitely supported by all Christian societies and, particularly, the Catholics. That's why Bashar al-Assad and his alauit regimen should earn our commitment and not the suni wahabist movements that oppose him, as it has been occurring.

That's why I cannot agree with you, when you accuse islam to be the origin and aspiration of the anti-Christian mentality. In fact, that origin and aspiration lies within the actual and degenerated Christian mentality, which does not reflect its Tradition, neither does it comply with the Divine purpose it was instated for. How can Christianity be trusted and embraced, when it actually supports (not allows) the slaughter of entire Christian communities?
