The relationship between many muslims and christians is very common in the Middle East especially during the time were the Ottomans persecuted the Armenians and they were accepted by the #Iranians, #Syrians, and #Lebanese.
Same applies in recent history when SAA , Iraqi popular mobilization forces , & #Hezbollah soldiers fought against Western backed jihadists in Syria & Iraq to defend Christian villages & churches from Wahabi head choppers.
Same thing applies to #Palestinian Christians who stand in unity with their #Muslim brothers against Zionists occupying their lands & killing their people & they show full support for the resistance movements against Zionism & taqfirism
