    FRENCH THEOLOGIAN: 'MASSACRES' OF NEAR EAST CHRISTIANS ARE 'STAIN ON CIVILIZATION'

    Feb 27 2015

    An Orthodox theologian from France claims that Christians in the Near
    East are being massacred because of their religion, 20 Minutes reports.

    Jean-Francois Colosimo, author of the book "Unwanted Men: The
    Curse on Eastern Christians," says that ISIS uses Christians of all
    denominations -- Coptic, Armenian, Orthodox, etc. -- as scapegoats.

    "They want to increase ethnic tensions in the region," he told 20
    Minutes. "They say Christians are agents of Europe -- even though they
    have lived in the region long before Islam came -- and use them in
    order to provoke Western powers and therefore fuel their own animosity
    towards Christians."

    "Islamists want religious uniformity in the region," he continued.

    "Today's Eastern Christians are like 19th-century Jews in Europe: in
    minority, stigmatized, without international protection or national
    territory."

    However, unlike his fellow country man and member of the French Academy
    Jean d'Ormenson, Colosimo does not want to use "genocide" to describe
    the dire situation. "A genocide is mass killings that require a plan,
    like the 1915 Armenian Genocide. Such is not the case right now."
