Russia's Patriarch Kirill urges 'holy war' on terror Quote: The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has urged all countries to unite in what he called a holy war on terrorism. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37702914 __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: Russia's Patriarch Kirill urges 'holy war' on terror There is no such thing as "holy" war. God save us from those who think otherwise.

Re: Russia's Patriarch Kirill urges 'holy war' on terror I believe some one million Ukrainians have been driven from eastern Ukraine. Catholics and Tatar Muslims are being driven from Crimea. To my understanding, Patriarch Kirill has condemned neither.
