In this con­text, we can clas­sify yesterday’s inci­dent of the Syr­iac Catholic Church of the Arch-Baghdad as the first test for the released Synod state­ment, to check the reac­tions of the patri­archs, bish­ops and church offi­cials on the chal­lenges fac­ing Chris­tians in the Mid­dle East, and was not an encour­ag­ing experience.

Many fear the fate of Chris­tians in the East, as it turns to the ter­ror­ists for their attrib­utes with the pas­sage of time. After being “mar­gin­al­ized” polit­i­cally (even in Lebanon, where Chris­tians have been absent from polit­i­cal influ­ence in the coun­try), they have become “minor­ity”, who is not heard nor received the nec­es­sary atten­tion and then “migrants” As a result of the polit­i­cal and eco­nomic developments.

those who remained are “oppressed”, turned into “tar­gets”, to end up yes­ter­day to being “hostages”, despite of the pres­ence of the (Chris­t­ian) U.S. troops in Iraq.

The Vat­i­can, con­demned the actions of the mil­i­tants, and demanded that “the cri­sis would be solved quickly and peace­fully” not­ing that “the sit­u­a­tion of Chris­tians in the East and prac­ti­cally in Iraq was the focus of the Synod held in the Vatican”.

What hap­pened in Iraq, can hap­pen in Egypt or the occu­pied ter­ri­to­ries, or any coun­try where Chris­tians are a minor­ity, seen as “acces­sories” to dec­o­rate the image of the host coun­try to say that it has the val­ues of open­ness in the (Arab, Mus­lims, Mid­dle East­ern) societies.

Why would anyone care about this biblical Abraham? He threw out his wife and first born son in the desert, without even a credit card? :-) Then he wanted to cut his second kid throat! In today USA, Child Services would be all over him!

Appeasement does not work. Why in the world would the Muslims want to do anything to help a religion they think ought to disappear?
