Please, try to understand us. Your liberal and democratic principles are worth nothing here. You must consider again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming in your countries an ever growing number of Muslims. Also you are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the cost of contradicting your principles. You think all men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.
Archbishop Amel Nona
Chaldean Catholic Archeparch of Mosul, now exiled in Erbil
It appears that the archbishop is falling into one of the traps set by the devil. The "liberal and democratic principles" that he is talking about are inspired by Christianity. He has every right to be angry and upset. But we must be careful. The Devil will use this injustice in order to foment hatred and and a desire for revenge. The rise if Islam has come about because we have failed in our task of evangelization. We are called by God to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone. We must pray and work for the conversion of the islamicists to the one true faith.
