Father George Massuh in Lebanon attacks me in An-Nahar (the right-wing, sectarian Christian, anti-Syrian (people), anti-Palestinian (people) newspaper) for mocking Yuhanna Fam Adh-Dhahab (I called him John, mouth of tin instead of mouth of gold). He is known in English as Saint John Chrysostom. I notice that his defenders in Lebanon are conveniently ignoring the anti-Semitic sermons of this Saint; these sermons were a major element in the development of Christian anti-Semitism. (The Nazis found his sermons quite useful). (thanks Ibn Rushd)
