The talented writer Ahmed Al-Sarraf writes sarcastically in the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas
Warning Christians:
Get out of Egypt and the Middle East countries so we can focus on killing each other and destroying our countries!!!!
Get out, Christians of Damascus, Yabroud, Maaloula, Saidnaya and Wadi al-Nasara, from our homelands. Get out, Christians of Mosul, Nineveh and Baghdad, from our countries. Get out, Christians of Lebanon, from our mountains and valleys. Get out, Christians of Palestine and the Jazira, from our beaches and our soil.
Get out, all of you, from under our skins. Get out, all of you, for we hate you and do not want you among us. Get out, for we are tired of progress, civilization, openness, tolerance, love, brotherhood, coexistence and forgiveness. Get out, so that we can devote ourselves to killing each other.
Get out, for you are not from us and we are not from you. Get out, for we are tired of you being the origin in Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Palestine. Get out, so that we will not be ashamed of you when our eyes meet your eyes, wondering what happened? Leave us with our misfortunes, for you have those who welcome you, and we will stay here, far from you and your claims, talents, competencies, knowledge and experiences. Leave us with fanaticism, hatred, animosity and slaughter. Leave, for we have had enough of bearing what you claim of civilization. With your departure, we will devote ourselves to ending it, erasing its traces, and destroying what your ancestors left behind of idols, deformities, and monuments of stone, poetry, prose and literature.
Leave, for neither Iraq, nor Egypt, nor Syria, nor Kuwait, nor Palestine, nor Jordan, nor the fragrant North Africa need you or those who lived among us before you of Gypsies, Jews and Stone. Go and leave and take mercy with you, for after Nusra, ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the rest of the Brotherhood gangs and their latest products, we do not need mercy or sympathy, for blood will flow, violence will spread, hearts will be torn, livers will be eaten, tongues will be removed and necks will be loosened. And the knees will collapse, and we will return to ancient medicine and herbal medicine and reading old books and hitting the sand on the beach in search of luck.
Leave, our Christians, and take with you all the relics and bodies of Gibran Gibran, Sargon Boulos, Badawi Al-Jabal, Anastas Al-Karmali, Youssef Al-Sayegh, Saadi Al-Maleh, the sons of Takla, Al-Yaziji, Al-Bustani, Antoun Saadeh, and Al-Akhtal Al-Saghir. Also take with you your universities and hospitals, and close your missions, and we do not need even Mikhael Naimy, and do not forget May Ziadeh, the sons of Maalouf, Sarrouf, and the sons of Ghali, Zidane, Al-Khazen, Bustros, Thabet, and Al-Sakakini, for none of them are from us and we are not from them.
Yes, leave us, for we want to return to our deserts and ride camels. We miss our swords, our soil, and our beasts. We do not need you, your civilization, or your linguistic and poetic contributions. We have enough groups, killers, and bloodthirsty people to do without you.
Get away from us, Christians, with your culture, for we have replaced it with the culture of digging graves!

He he he..... Sarcasm pushed to its limits, but sort of factual and existent among many unfortunate manipulated ignorants, brain-washed and used by fanaticism coming from all sides, Muslims, Zionists, Western imperialists or local dictators clinging to their seats, a big game in the Middle-East, a big game in the international arena being constantly fueled by Muslims and both Christian nationalists westerners and of course Israeli Zionists and their allies nowadays assuming the leading role of this undeclared war. All parties are guilty as such, whether aggressors or aggressed.
My many thanks to all my good friends and readers.
