The patriarchs of the Orient on Wednesday strongly deplored the Arab countries and the international community’s “silence” over attacks against Christians in the Middle East, calling for issuing fatwas against takfirism and for stopping any support for terrorist groups.

“It has become known that attacks against Christians are taking a dangerous turn that threatens them, especially in Egypt, Syria and Iraq where they are victims of crimes and are forced to leave (their towns),” Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi’s envoy Bishop Boulos Sayyah said after a meeting of Christian clerics of the Orient in Bkirki.
