Interesting times we live in when the Godless communists end up on the side protecting Christians, while the Christian United States ends up supporting the side persecuting Christians and fucking little boys.

The Orthodox Christian Church, which holds an important place in an insurgent Russia, has described its government’s fight against the Islamic State and other jihadi opposition groups in Syria as a “holy war.”

According to Vsevolod Chaplin, head of the Church’s Public Affairs Department,

The fight with terrorism is a holy battle and today our country is perhaps the most active force in the world fighting it. The Russian Federation has made a responsible decision on the use of armed forces to defend the People of Syria from the sorrows caused by the arbitrariness of terrorists. Christians are suffering in the region with the kidnapping of clerics and the destruction of churches. Muslims are suffering no less.

This is not some new “gimmick” to justify intervention in Syria. For years, Russia’s Orthodox leaders have been voicing their concern for persecuted Christians. Back in February 2012, Putin met with representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church. They described to him the horrific treatment Christians are experiencing around the world, especially the Muslim world:

The head of External Church Relations, Metropolitan Illarion, said that every five minutes one Christian was dying for his or her faith in some part of the world, specifying that he was talking about such countries as Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan and India. The cleric asked Putin to make the protection of Christians one of the foreign policy directions in future.

“This is how it will be, have no doubt,” Putin answered.

Compare and contrast this with U.S. President Obama, who denies the connection between Islamic teachings and violence; whose policies habitually empower Christian-persecuting Islamists; who prevents Christian representatives from testifying against their tormentors; and who even throws escaped Christian refugees back to the lions, while accepting tens of thousands of Muslim migrants.

The Russian Patriarch Kirill even once wrote an impassioned letter to Obama, imploring the American president to stop empowering Christian persecuting jihadis. That the patriarch said “I am deeply convinced that the countries which belong to the Christian civilization bear a special responsibility for the fate of Christians in the Middle East” must have only ensured that the letter ended in the trash bin of the White House...

Silly man. He doesn't realize Obama is doing everything he can to help his Islamic brethren...

Kirill was against foreign intervention when Assad had a better chance, but it seems now things have changed.

We were deeply alarmed to learn about the plans of the US army to strike the territory of Syria. Undoubtedly, it will bring ever greater sufferings to the Syrian people, first of all, to the civilian population. An external military intervention may result in the radical forces coming to power in Syria who will not be able and will not wish to ensure inter-confessional accord in the Syrian society.

His message is consistent though, having Jihads in control in Syria will not make for a pluralistic, diverse society.

I see muslims killing muslims, muslims killing Christians, and "Christian" nations either are helping various muslims kill each other or are bombing them directly.

It is interesting that the "Christian" nations seem to have little interest in the Christians being slaughtered in Darfur, but have an interest where natural gas pipelines might be constructed.
It is also interesting that the choosing of sides among various muslim factions by respective "Christian" nations happens to coincide with pipeline interests of the muslim allies of those respective "Christian" nations.

Silly Goose! Didn't you know that economic interest is always the trump card. The trick is how to co-opt that fact and spin it to fit the ideology du jour. ;)

You would have thought that the Russian's collective memories reached back as far as to recall their adventures in Chechnya and Afghanistan.

Your statement makes me wonder if "we" have secured another bin Laden to fight for us again against the great red threat.

I wonder about the term "Christian countries" and if there is any such thing but maybe in the minds of Christians that live there. At one stage there may have been ones that were close to being run on those principals, but they long since appear to have eroded their own and each others abilities to be so.
