and many of our biblical comments here probably were detonated by the gibson
movie.
Just recently here in Mexico, after 16 years of absurd censorship, is shown
"the last passion of christ " , the movie by scorcese, so will go to see it,
(!) as it's probably more important that the Gibson's integrist pro
christianity point of view.
(Imagine, for the first time after the introduction of sound movies, in the
.Us viewers had to READ subtitles to understand a movie)
also Ridley Scott is producing a Crusader movie in Morocco, and Mel Gibson
will go after the maraneans story.
Holywood goes biblical. again... .. 40 years ago "the ten commandments" or
the tunique were the hits.
all of those recent Gibson or scott events , as the modern religious shows
they are , eventually are the well marketed result of the in-confidence we
westerners have developped from some decades now in/about our own
social-cultural-religiious values, and beeing afraid as we are (certainly
after the terror some westerners felt in their flesh ) of what is the
growing power worldwide of the basically non capitalistic societies islam
fundamentalism representsin the huge arab sphere of influence worldwide (
with the exception of some pseudosocialist governments like the Baa'sist
leaded by Syria or Irak before the bush push around)
(Remember, Irak or Syria were relatively non-religious governments and
theorically non capitalist... near the Iranian fundamentalist, or western
oriented Saoudian capitalist and Israel Sionist ones )
Christians had a similar huge worldwide power centuries ago, and now the
roulette moved into another niche.
Mesdames,Messieurs, faites vos jeux, rien ne va plus...
Pat.
coincidence, i was recently learning about the same topic myself, the whole
issue of christians in the middle east is fascinating. though the first
sentence of this article seems to be erroneous, in equating the orthodox
catholic, greek orthodox and eastern orthodox churches as synonymous. other
readings say they have clear communal, theological and other differences (or
perhaps it is just semantics, or theological hairsplitting in an
uninterested world...):

interesting how vividly the schism of 1054 is recounted in some of these
histories. ONE NATURE! no, TWO NATURES! jeesh, a rose by any other name
