‘Together, for true peace!’ – A scene from a procession of religious figures from various confessions, Tbilisi, Georgia

1. I’ve mentioned this in other posts and will repeat it here. For centuries Christians, Muslims, and Jews have lived side by side in Georgia, as Georgians, among Georgians without the presence of religious discrimination. In Tbilisi, the capital – you can find an Orthodox Church, a Synagogue, and a Mosque where people pray for their faith, and then march together for European values. Hell, even the first Muslim woman to be elected in the parliament lived in the Georgian Democratic Republic, when Georgians as soon as they got a real chance at democracy wrote a constitution which guaranteed equal rights and representation for women and minorities, in 1917.

   This is why I want everyone to understand, Georgian claim to the European Union is above all else a cultural claim, and throughout the vast history of this country you can see the struggle of being far away from Europe, but in your heart carrying European values. This is what Russian government despises, and this is why Georgia must win now like never before

2. This is a beautiful show of humanity in these dark times for Georgia.

3. Are all these religious groups against the regime?

4. So nice of Dumbledore to show up

5. All religions in Georgia band together against Russia and it’s influence. It’s a beautiful sight.

6. True peaceful intellectuals.

   The first we shall lose, yet the only who deserve the peace.

   As a distant relative, I bow and apologize.

   I should be among them.

7. It’s a stark contrast to nearby Russia where the Orthodox church is just a branch of the evil government.

8. No offense but it tells a lot about religion that its a special act that they come together and tolerate each other.
