Syria: Weird Ecumenist Message Promoting the History of Joint Muslim-Christian prayer

It’s gotten to the point of straight-up syncretism in Syria. The Grand Mufti of Syria gave a speech and, well… I guess you just have to read it. The whole speech is translated by the Russian Faith website with video. And it’s really weird.

“If our children have no memory of this, then read it to them from history. The churches of Aleppo and Antioch opened up. Antioch was once there, and it will go back one day by that name, God willing, in the land of the Levant, because Antioch is one of the blessed lands of God. And the chair of Antioch shall stay together with the chair of Constantinople, and the chair of Alexandria, and the chair of Damascus, and the chair of Athens — all one chair, always preaching the verse of peace and love to humanity.”
