“One Voice for Christians” releases its first video teaser

Christianity is bond to completely disappear in the Middle East in less than 20 years if nothing is done NOW! The initiative “One Voice for Christians” is not just another organization to protect Christians in the Middle East but the creation of an international multimedia platform to channel and to amplify the voices of all Christian denominations present in the Middle East and also all organizations working for the cause all over the world. Through the production of high quality documentaries, interviews, lectures and events we will gather all available information on the subject and together we will end this ongoing tragedy!

The initiative from the Royal House of Ghassan (a certified charity/non-profit accredited by the United Nations since 2016) will last as long as Christianity’s existence  is threatened in the Middle East and its success depends on donations.

“Generalization is the ‘mother’ of prejudice…” says Prince Gharios

HIRH Prince Gharios El Chemor of  Ghassan Al-Numan VIII , the head of the Sovereign Imperial and Royal House of Ghassan, the only active Christian Royal House in the Middle East recognized by the United Nations, always says:

“Generalization is the ‘mother’ of prejudice, the ‘father’ is ignorance.”

When people try to “paint all Muslims with the same brush” they are not only being unfair but also playing exactly the role that the radicals want them to play. According to the French Intelligence, the strategy of organizations like ISIS (Daesh) is to make the Western world hate and marginalize the great majority of the moderate Muslims so they can rebel and join the radicals.

Let’s not play their game!
