While not having a genetic testing kit at hand, I know a lot of Syrian and Lebanese Christians around Lake Charles. Does that make them Arab. I do not know.

It can probably be argued anyone in the Mediterranean Sea area are a mixture of Greek, Italian, Arab, Turk, North African, Persian, et. al.

But yes, Christians in modern Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Egypt, etc. need our support as we are doing in Nigeria.

Those may be the asylum seekers we need



Imagine prioritizing 500k Christians from the Middle East/Mediterranean area, fast tracking them for US citizenship, placing them in key swing state precincts and they vote +80% republican......The Democratic Socialists heads would explode.

In actuality, racism is never the true issue. It's the rejection of their rejection of historically demonstrable superior white culture.

Yes, I'm a cultural bigot. Sue me. Some cultures are truly superior to others even when using the left's criteria.

No. The problem is anyone can claim to be Christian.

See: any Democrat politician running for a major political office.

Certain groups like to intentionally antagonize the Orthodox, in Orthodox neighborhoods, where you don't just accidentally find yourself. (edit for clarity) That is largely in the US.

For why it happens in Jerusalem: Six minute video for background.

Should it happen? No, the Catholics should just be ignored. I'm sure you're completely unaware that thousands of Christians a day interact with tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews, Orthodox Christians, and the goat frickers every day in the old city of Jerusalem, with essentially nothing happening, even during Easter, Ramadan, etc. The two Christian sects have more infighting than the Muslims and Jews do.

Now “Islamophobic”? Sure fine call me that. But I’m not afraid of them, I just think they’re evil.
Even Islamophobic is a nonsense term. Islam is an ideology. There is no other ideology in the world in which those who disagree with it are deemed as bigoted for their disagreement.

There is no Christophobia. There is no Communistophobia. No Capitalophibia. No Anarchophobia. No Hindophobia. No Buddhophobia. No Libertariophobia. No Liberalophobia.

Only disagreement with Islam gets a phobia. It’s odd.

That's odd. My next-door neighbors were Palestinian Christians from Ramallah. I used to talk to them a lot about what’s going on over there. They said nobody likes the people of Gaza, that they were trash.

Chaldeans (Iraqi catholics) are a big group in Michigan. Specifically NE suburbs of Detroit.
They hate Muslims. Hate Dearborn people.

They went HARD AF for Trump.
They're a big part of Trump carrying Michigan.

It is not my intention to discount that anecdotal account. And I certainly accept that there is no single monolithic political view on Gaza held by every Palestinian Christian worldwide.

So let me put a finer point on it. Many Palestinian Christians are no fans of the Israeli occupation of Gaza:

His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III, Greek Orthodox
His Beatitude Patriarch Fouad Twal, Latin Church
His Beatitude Patriarch Torkom Manougian, Armenian Orthodox Very Revd Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Custody of the Holy Land H.E. Archbishop Dr Anba Abraham, Coptic
H.E. Archbishop Mar Swerios Malki Murad, Syrian Orthodox
H.E. Archbishop Paul Nabil Sayah, Maronite
H.E. Archbishop Abba Mathaious, Ethiopian
H.E. Archbishop Joseph-Jules Zerey, Greek Catholic
Bishop Gregor Peter Malki, Syrian Catholic
Bishop Munib A. Younan, Lutheran
Bishop Suheil Dawani, Anglican
Bishop Raphael Minassian, Armenian Catholic

No

But I’ve got a massive fricking problem with Muslims. Enough to where I believe the best order of business for this nation would be to expel all Muslims. Could never happen, but would be the best course of action.

They are incompatible with this country and its Christian founding/ideals. Notice that I left out judeo as well.

That's not Ara in Fulshear, is it? He had challenge coins from the vets whose hair he'd cut in his shop in his house before he moved into the space next to Local Table. Great cat.

There is a distinct difference between Arabs that want to succeed on America's terms, and those that want to just be Muslim AF (Somalis in MN, for instance.) Open a restaurant, open a barber shop, and you probably love America. Sit in the mosque and slap your wife and kids around, you probably are looking for free money, and how to contribute it to the jihad back home.

...doesn't claim to be Christian. He very clearly stated he believes he won't go to Heaven, unfortunately.

Coptic Christians have lost more to muslims than us western Christians could ever imagine. It's not Christ like, but Coptic Christians despise muslims.

The many that I know are some of the hardest working, honest people you will ever meet.

This argument would be conflating race and religion. Two different things.
