I see. Thanks for the education. That actually makes sense. It is just so foreign to me as an American Christian. It’s just shocking. Makes no sense theologically or any other way. I do see how being Arab would color their thinking now that you mention it.

Christian Arabs have serious Stockholm Syndrome. Spaniards never liked their Muslim conquerors and finally drove them out in the 15th century after almost 800 years of occupation. Christian Arabs have grown to identify with Muhammad's descendants (originally from what is now Saudi Arabia) despite over a thousand years of Muslim persecution of ME Christians.
