Major Christian Leader Of
Russia Declares: Trump Is The Only American Leader That Gives Hope For
Persecuted Christians
By Theodore Shoebat
Patriarch Kirill of Russia declared that Trump is the only
American leader that gives hope for Christians in fighting off the Islamic
State, a great persecutor of Christians. According to one
report:
Patriarch Kirill, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, has said that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is the only American politician to give Russians, and Christians, hope in successfully fighting off the Islamic State terror group.Kirill made the remarks in an interview with Russia Today, translated into English, where he said that although he doesn’t know Trump personally, he has been encouraged by his strong stance against terrorism.“Based on what Mr. Trump said in the course of the election campaign, we can see that he does have the intention to establish a dialogue with Russia, including first and foremost when it comes to combating terrorism. That’s good; it opens up new opportunities for cooperation, which is what I hope we’re going to have in Russia-U.S. relations in order to tackle this,” Kirill said.He added that he “can’t really say” much about Trump beyond that.“I don’t know him personally, and I don’t know much about his life, so I can only judge based on his statements, which were in stark contrast to other politicians’ stances. There was no hope in what others were saying, while Mr. Trump’s words give us hope,” he added, referring to Trump’s stated commitment to combat Islamic terror at home and abroad.Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have vowed to work together to defeat IS, the terror group that has held territory in Iraq and Syria since 2014. The U.S. president-elect has suggested that there will be much warmer relations with Russia under his administration than during outgoing President Obama’s administration.

Vladimir Putin has effectively told Obama:
you're turning the USA Into a godless sewer....
“Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away
from their roots, including Christian values.
“Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation.” Putin has criticised the "morally bankrupt" West, slipping into “chaotic darkness.” At the height of the Cold War, it was common for American conservatives to label the officially atheist Soviet Union a “godless nation.” More than two decades later, history has come full circle, as the Kremlin and its allies in the Russian Orthodox Church hurl the same allegation of godlessness back at the West. It is very serious when Russia is warning America of the danger of godlessness! What would Ronald Reagan say! |
What Russia's Top Church
Leader is Saying about Donald Trump
11-27-2016
The leader of the Russian Orthodox Church believes
President-elect Donald Trump is the only American politician to give Russians,
and Christians, hope in the war against the Islamic State.
Patriarch Kirill told Russia Today (RT) he is
encouraged by the incoming president's strong position against ISIS.
"Based on what Mr. Trump said in the course of the election campaign, we can see that he does have the intention to establish a dialogue with Russia, including first and foremost when it comes to combating terrorism," Kirill said."That's good; it opens up new opportunities for cooperation, which is what I hope we're going to have in Russia-U.S. relations in order to tackle this," he added."I don't know him personally, and I don't know much about his life, so I can only judge based on his statements, which were in stark contrast to other politicians' stances. There was no hope in what others were saying, while Mr. Trump's words give us hope," he said.
Kirill also told RT that he agrees that Trump is
not afraid to speak his mind especially during a time when Christians in
America are being shut down by political correctness.
"It seems as if political correctness is meant to limit Christians' freedom to practice their faith. For example, why should we use 'X-mas' instead of 'Christmas'?," he asked. "We're very wary when, under the guise of political correctness and universal rights and liberties, we glimpse signs of discrimination against the people who want to be open about their Christian convictions."
As Russia's Vladmir Putin congratulated Trump on
his election victory and later vowed to dialogue with the U.S. "on the
basis of mutual respect," Kirill said it is important for Christians to
continue to pray for the nations that are working to eradicate terrorism.
"All that is left to us as Christians is to pray and, of course, work together with everyone, so that all the nations involved realize that collaboration is instrumental. We keep hearing that the coalition has its own approach, and Russia has a different stance. Well, now is the time when we can't have two conflicting positions any longer; we need to align ourselves with each other," he said.
