Who
we are
We
are the Christians of the Middle East.. from the land where Jesus
was born, and the land where the first Church was established upon
'this rock'.
We
are the Christians of the Middle East.. who have lived as a light
to the world in steadfastness and courage.
But
also we are just Christians.. who want to de-commercialize Christianity,
de-politicize Christianity, and de-militarize Christianity.
We
are just Christians.. who want to bring back the message of Christ,
one of Peace and Justice, to the world, because it is through our
works that people will know us.
The
beginning is the letter.. but there is much more to come. Christians
must speak out more strongly because we are 'the salt of the earth'.

As
Christians in and from the Middle East, we have been writing and
warning about Zionist Christianity for many many years, and we have
watched in horror as our predictions slowly came to pass. The Christian
Right in the United States has allied itself with Zionism to create
the illusion that by supporting Israel, we are fullfilling God's
prophecies. This is a lie.
As
Middle Eastern Christians, we have come to realize that Christianity
has been 'hijacked' by the Christian Right for political ends and
games. We have decided to create this site to 'reclaim' Christianity,
to refute the misleading Biblical interpretations one by one, and
to stress our position as anti-war and anti-Occupation and in support
of our brethren in the Arab World. We want to stress the principles
and values of Christianity: a Christianity that preaches peace and
justice, not one that encourages hatred, intolerance, and injustice.
