| Desecration of a mosque in Moscow - the Church calls to prevent provocations Moscow, January 13, 2015 The Russian Orthodox Church expresses its concern over the desecration of a memorial mosque at the Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow, reports Interfax-Religion . “This crime was obviously committed by people whose behavior is incompatible with both Islam and Christianity, otherwise they would not have used an unskillfully painted cross together with an obscene image near it in their provocative and blasphemous action,” said Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, head of the Synodal Department for Church-Society Relations, to Interfax-Religion . He has supposed that somebody, probably very young people, “got carried away by the hysteria around Islam and Islamic symbols that is now going on in the world”. “Campaigns directed against religious symbols always attract mentally unsound and foolish people. And I do not want the world agenda to be determined by terrorists taking refuge in Islam on the one part and by anti-religious instigators and blasphemers on the other part,” the agency’s spokesman noted. According to him, “such an agenda very soon may lead to a war of all against all”. “Apparently someone is striving for this, stimulating pseudo-Islamic extremists and, at the same time, provocateurs who desecrate religious symbols. It grieves me that the cross of Christ was used in this way, it is monstrous. Thus, it is a desecration of both the mosque and the cross alike,” said the representative of the Church. He has expressed his hope that “we will learn who committed this crime and will work hard together so that all the attempts to undermine the interfaith and interethnic peace from any side might be excluded from our life”. Earlier Azamat Mintsayev, vice-chairman of the All-Russian Interethnic Youth Union, published on his social network’s page photographs with drawings painted in black by unidentified people on the walls of the memorial mosque. Among the pictures are those of a cross and of male reproductive organ near it. 15 января 2015 г. Смотри также Комментарии Мы в соцсетях Подпишитесь на нашу рассылку |

| “When I look at the present state of things in the world I realize that Vladimir Putin is the sole defender of Christian civilization one can rely on,” Assad said in an interview with French magazine Valeurs Actuelles. The Syrian leader also said that he would step down only if asked to by the Syrian people and the Syrian parliament, adding that the issue of his possible resignation had not yet been raised on an international level. Syria will only share intelligence information with France if Paris changes its policies in the region, President Assad said. " If the French government is not serious in its fight against terrorism, we will not waste our time collaborating with a country, government or an institution that supports terrorism, " he noted in the interview carried out the day after Friday " s deadly attacks in Paris. " You have to first change policy so that it is based on one criteria, to be part of an alliance that joins countries only fighting terrorism and not supporting them, " Assad added. More than 220,000 Syrians have lost their lives in four-and-a-half years of armed conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war. More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other — as well as jihadist militants from Islamic State and the al-Nusra Front. 18 ноября 2015 г. Смотри также Комментарии ChiRho 18 ноября 2015, 21:00 Bashar Assad is correct. The majority of European leaders are not Christians and do not care for Christians. They are Socialists (Communism-light) and Marxists. They have more in common with the Islamists than Christians and their policies support this idea. The president of the United States is most certainly not a Christian and more pro-Islamists than the European leaders. The anti-Assad fighters are Sunnis from mostly outside of Syria pretending they want democracy. In truth, their goal is to take out the strongmen (the mostly secular leaders of the Middle East and North Africa who maintain order and relative freedom) and replace them with hardline Islamists who are loyal to the Muslim Brotherhood. Syria is not experiencing civil war, it is experiencing an invasion. Just as with Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, etc the Muslim Brotherhood is attempting to overthrow governments and install their people. Russia did more damage to IS in a couple weeks than anyone else did in over a year. Europe and the USA are pretending to fight IS while actually aiding it. Putin deserves much credit. The other world leaders only give empty words and shows, Russia is actually fighting on the side of Christianity. Мы в соцсетях Подпишитесь на нашу рассылку |
| We must stand up for Middle East " s persecuted Christians/Православие.Ru We must stand up for Middle East " s persecuted Christians SOURCE: FoxNews.com By Johnnie Moore Christianity began in the East, not the West, yet today Christians in the East are enduring an all-out-assault by Islamic terrorists, while Christians in the West live their lives largely oblivious to it all. This has to change. This is no imaginary persecution; in Syria alone there have been reports of kidnappings, Christian communities intentionally displaced by militants and, worst of all, shootings and beheadings of Christians who refused to convert to Islam. In Egypt radicals have recently destroyed dozens of churches, and the once vibrant Christian population in Iraq has been decimated. Christians in the West should stand up for those in the East out of regard for all they have given us over these thousands of years, if for no other reason. See, what most American Christians don’t realize is that the “Islamic World” was once the Christian world. Some of the most well-known and influential leaders in the early church hailed from North Africa and the Middle East – like the warring theologians Athanasius and Arius, and the apologist Tertullian. It was for the library in Alexandria that the preeminent Greek version of the Torah (the “Septuagint”) was commissioned. Today, St. Augustine would be called a Tunisian, Origen would be Egyptian and the Apostle Paul – who was on the road to Damascus when he encountered Christ – would have told the story of his conversion while heading to “Syria.” It was also in the Syrian city of “Antioch” that Christians were first called “Christians,” and to this day there are as many Christian holy sites in that nation as anywhere else in the world. When Jesus was born, and his life was threatened by the hysteria of King Herod, it was to Egypt that Joseph and Mary fled until Herod’s bloodlust subsided. If the famed Council of Nicaea were held today, the headline would read: “Christian theologians gather in Turkey to settle long-held dispute about Christ’s deity,” and the part of the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized could have very well flowed through modern-day Jordan , as opposed to Israel. |
| This arbitrary ban seems to be yet another demonstration of the “unofficial” second-class status of Christians in Turkey. As the scholar Robert Spencer puts it: That t he Greek Orthodox need special permission to celebrate divine services in any of their churches in what is now Turkey is a dark reminder of the Islamic oppression of Eastern Christians from the mid-7th Century to today, and for the Greeks, especially from the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in 1453 through the defeat of the Ottoman Empire by the Western Powers during World War I. Today, Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians are a tiny, dwindling minority in Turkey -- around 2,500 people -- and the community routinely faces discrimination. “Christians are certainly seen as second-class citizens,” Walter Flick, a religious expert with the International Society for Human Rights in Germany, told the publication DW. “A real citizen is Muslim, and those who aren " t Muslim are seen as suspicious. Christians aren " t equal. They don " t have full rights.” PJ Media 7 октября 2016 г.

What is however of massive significance was a speech erdogan gave last week, where he (and later the mayor of Ankara) effectively tore up the Treaty of Lausanne which created the modern day borders between Greece and Turkey, claiming the Greek islands as turkish. Those who have read the prophecies of Ayios Paisios and Geronda Iosif Vatopaidinos know that when the issue of the examilia (six miles) is raised, (the six miles being the six nautical mile radius which is Greek territory around the Greek islands), then you know war is near. Once Greece and Turkey withdraw their embassies, then Turkey will hit some Greek islands, Russia will smash Turkey to pieces, and the third world war will kick off. All these are well documented prophecies that can be read on the internet or seen on youtube. |

| Iran’s Christians celebrate New Year Tehran, January 2, 2015 As Christians around the world celebrate Christmas, the holiday season is also observed in Iran, a predominantly Muslim nation where Christians make up some 1% of the country’s approximate population of 77.5 million, the Al-Monitor said in an article. Christmas trees decorated with red, green, and gold gift boxes placed behind shop windows or at the entrances of different shopping malls and hotels can be seen across Christian neighborhoods of Iran, it added. According to the Statistical Center of Iran (SCI), over 117,000 Christians reside in Iran, most of whom are Armenians who are followers of the Oriental Orthodox branch of Christianity. More than 46,000 members of this minority group live in Tehran. Assyrians, Catholics, Protestants, and Evangelical Christians make up the remainder of Iran’s Christian population. Despite being a minority, Iran’s Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians are recognized as established religious minorities and are represented in parliament, and enjoy freedom to practice their religions and perform their religious rituals. “You cannot celebrate Christmas in any Islamic country the way we do in Iran,” Rafi Moradians, an Iranian Armenian in Tehran, told Al-Monitor. Referring to the community’s exclusive sport and cultural club, Rafi said, “Authorities do not impose any restrictions on us. We attend church services and there are also special celebrations at the Ararat Club.” In recent years, municipal authorities have also put up banners celebrating the birth of Jesus on many main streets and at the St. Sarkis Armenian Church on Villa Avenue, where a service is held every year. Unlike other countries in the region where public celebration of Christmas is limited to hotels frequented by foreigners, there is no such restriction in Tehran. Ordinary Iranians are not alone in the holiday celebrations and in exchanging greetings at Christmas time. This year, President Hassan Rouhani sent season’s greetings to Pope Francis and world leaders. Through his Twitter account, Rouhani reached out to Christians around the globe, as well as those in Iran. “May Jesus Christ, the prophet of peace and love, bless us all on this day. Wishing Merry #Christmas to those celebrating, esp #Iranian Christians,” he tweeted. Also, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif used his 100th tweet to express hope for a more peaceful 2015. The Twitter account belonging to the office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei also featured a series of messages on the occasion of Christmas. One of the messages read: “It’s time for all caring Muslims, Christians & Jews to obey the prophets & truly honor #Jesus’ birthday by standing up against Israeli crimes.” 4 января 2015 г.

| Breitbart noted that Brunne became the world " s first openly lesbian bishop in the Lutheran Church in 2009, and has a young son with her wife and fellow priest, Gunilla Linden. Although just over 64 percent of the Swedish population is formally registered with the Lutheran Church, that number has steadily fallen over the decades, from its height of 95 percent of the population in 1972. Sweden has been welcoming refugees not only from Syria, but also Eritreans who had initially traveled to Italy. In September, the EU agreed to a plan to relocate a further 120,000 refugees across Europe, despite the opposition of a number of Eastern states, like Hungary, who has said the crisis is stretching their borders and resources. Germany has vowed to take more refugees than any other nation, opening its borders to close to 800,000 people. The Christian Post 8 октября 2015 г.
