That is horrible. What can one say? Lord have mercy!
(Ofcourse if it were the opposite way around, we would be hearing alot about it)

Prayers for our Orthodox brethren in Tunisia!
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Final verse of "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" is so applicable:
And though this world with devils filled
Would threaten to undo us;
We will not fear for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us.
Were they to take our house,
Goods, honor, child or spouse,
'Though life be wrenched away
They shall not win the day:
His Kingdom stands forever.
Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit!

The response of the interim president is a hopeful indication that the government will take this matter seriously. Thanks for posting that Samn, and welcome to the forum.
Many years,
Neil

In more Arab Spring-related news, there was an attempt to shoot the Greek priest in Tripoli, Libya this past week..... Greek story. [ amen.gr] English translation. [ araborthodoxy.blogspot.com] On Wednesday, May 2, between 9:00 and 9:30 AM, when Fr. Joachim was entering the Church of St. George and was within the church's courtyard, a fanatic Muslim "brother"-- probably a foreigner and not a Libyan national-- fired a Kalashnikov at the priest from a building adjacent to the church.
The bullet struck ten centimeters in front of Fr. Joachim's feet, lodging itself in the floor.
