South Florida Christian Arabic Language Meetup Group
|
Marhaba, Another objective of this group is to develop a multimedia digital library of pictures, articles, and movies to memorialize various Christian churches, monasteries and sites throughout the Middle East, as well as those abroad serving the Arab communities. These pictures will be contributed by all members and available to the general public. We will be creating a living and dynamic library growing with every new member and each new visit to the region to introduce & document our 2000 yr rich Arab Christian culture to the world. Ultimately, the library will be transferred to a new website designed for fast multimedia access. Pictures, articles and videos of these Christian sites & communities will be indexed by location and stored on digital maps easily accessed by all.

Sadly, another priest Killed this week in Iraq. I would have loved to focus this site on cultural, social and intellectual contribution of Arab Christians. Unfortunately these tragic events and the apathy of the silent majority must be reported.

An article from "Now Lebanon" regarding the small Chaldean community in Lebanon as they mourn their tragic loss. Read the comments which echo the opinions of this group organizer.

This is an article on women rights in Lebanon. Lebanese women are considered the most liberated in the Arab world, still they suffer many discriminations as outlined by the article from Naharnet, a leading Lebanese publication.

Article in the International Herald Tribune regarding France plans to give refuge to 500 Iraqi Christians. Why is Lebanese Christian communities not doing the same for their Iraqi brethrens?

2 articles on the killing of Iraqi archbishop Paul Rahho. No doubt this is a message addressed to all Christians in Iraq. The lack of outrage in the Arab world is incomprehensible considering the reaction of the Arab street to the offensive cartoons.

I've combined two articles regarding the adbuction of Iraq's Catholic Chaldean Archbishop few days ago. Three of the people with him were killed. My heart and prayers are with all Iraqi Christians and anyone living under fear and intimidation.

This is an article from the Herald Tribune regarding the trashing of the YMCA center in Gaza last month. Another sign of intimidation to the small Christian community still living in gaza.
-
This is another article regarding the constant fear facing all women in Iraq. The fear is from extremist groups in Southern Iraq having ties to Iran and equally misinterpreting the Koran. It was posted last month on cnn.com.
