Our sufferings today are the prelude of those you,
Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future. I lost
my diocese. The physical setting of my apostolate has been occupied by Islamic
radicals who want us converted or dead. But my community is still alive. 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. (Armenian Orthodox church in Raqqa, Syria, now an ISIS office)
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.
