Statement from Major General Ashraf Rifi – Attacking religious authorities is a red line! 01/05/2026 (See translation in Arabic section) Sydney-Middle East Times Int'l: I strongly and bitterly condemn the exposure of Patriarch Mar Bashara Botros the Shepherd, and I consider that touching religious references is a red line that threatens the Al-Ahli ladder and threatens common coexistence. I say to the people of God: You can't control us with your weapons. You tried and you couldn't and you won't. You now have us to choose between continuing with what you are trying to impose, divorce and living with dignity. Our answer to you: Preach what you do before it is too late. All solidarity with Bakarki and her master patron patriarch, and all respect to his national site. |
