But Say A Prayer, Pray For The Other Ones

Here, here and here. Some "liberation".

Too bad for them in NATO, and putatively EU, Turkey, as well.

But thank God for their remaining Arab protectors, who, though themselves Alawites, rule over a predominantly Sunni country which nevertheless has Christian majority provinces and Christian festivals as public holidays.

Thank God for the country in which, like the Armenians (there's that Turkey thing again) and indeed the Jews, they have reserved parliamentary representation.

And thank God for the Arab country in which fully half the parliamentary seats are reserved for Christians, as is the Presidency.

If people from certain ideological or ethnic backgrounds wish to regard the genocidally anti-Christian invasion and occupation of Iraq as some sort of "liberation" (of whom?), or wish to hold up genocidally anti-Christian Turkey and genocidally anti-Christian Israel as their "outposts" in the Middle East, then that is their lookout.

Those of us to whom our civilisation is the Biblical-Classical synthesis in Jesus Christ and His Church, we, too, have outposts in the Middle East, for which we, too, must be prepared to fight as hard as need be. Iraq may have fallen. But we still have Syria. Above all, we still have Lebanon.

And we still have Iran.
