RUSSIA WAGES HOLY WAR
TO DEFEND CHRISTIANITY
The Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reporting today that not only has the Federation refused to accede to NATO’s demands to curb the furious airstrikes pummeling Islamic terror forces in Syria, it will “soon” greatly increase them as this conflict is now being openly described in the Kremlin as a “Holy War” to protect the Christian peoples in this region from being exterminated.
The Kremlin’s calling of this war a Holy Crusade, it’s important to note, has been echoed by the Russian Orthodox Church whose official spokesman, Vsevolod Chaplin, stated this week:
“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.”
His Holiness Patriarch Kirill further stated his support for Russian military action in Syria and said: “…it was with pain in the heart that the Orthodox have learned about numerous cases of violence against Christians in the region, abductions and ruthless killings of bishops and monks, and barbaric destruction of ancient churches.”
To how vital the protection of Christian peoples around the world has become to both the Church and Kremlin, was further exampled by the correct lamentations His Holiness offered to those killed in America recently at the hands of an Islamic terrorist:
“The Russian Orthodox Church is deeply grieved to learn about the terrible terrorist action in a college in the state of Oregon in the United States, in which peaceful people were killed. What makes the tragedy even graver is that the killer consciously chose to victimize young people who confess Christianity.
This glaring inhuman act confirms once again that Christianity has become the most persecuted religion in the world. Extremists in various parts of the world increasingly seek to provoke hatred and enmity among religions and nations, for which they are ready to commit the most inhuman evil deeds”
