(Reuters) - Violence and bloodshed is turning the "Arab Spring" into winter, the head of Lebanon's Maronite Church said, threatening Christians and Muslims alike across the Middle East.

 

Patriarch Beshara al-Rai, whose Maronite Church also has a strong presence in Syria, said change could not be brought to the Arab world by force and that Christians feared the turmoil was helping extremist Muslim groups.

 

"We are with the Arab Spring but we are not with this spring of violence, war, destruction and killing. This is turning to winter," Rai told Reuters in Bkirki, seat of the Maronite church in hills overlooking the Mediterranean Sea north of Beirut.

Is that headline too harsh? Perhaps. But what are we to make of a crowd of Libyans, many of them armed, who attacked the Benghazi War Cemetery, desecrating the graves of more than 150 British servicemen who were killed in World War II, and smashing crosses and other non-Islamic religious symbols?
