MOSCOW, July 7 (RIA Novosti) - U.S. President Barack Obama met the head of the Russian Orthodox Church on Tuesday, the second day of his three-day visit to the Russian capital.
"Dialogue between our countries' Christians is very important, as the two nations should be friends," Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia told Obama.
"Both the American and Russian nations have the same Christian system of values. We are the most religious countries," he said. The Russian patriarch also wished Obama success in his post, saying that many people in Russia linked him with the development of Russian-U.S. relations.
Obama praised Kirill for his promotion of Christian unity.

Both the American and Russian nations have the same Christian system of values Speak for yourself Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, America's Christian values are under attack from the Communists.
This is beginning to sound like a bad Science Fiction novel from the 1950's.

"Dialogue between our countries' Christians is very important, as the two nations should be friends," Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia told Obama.Did our president roll his eyes, or flick lint off his pants? Did he remark that we are "one of the largest muslim countries in the world"?

It is things such as this that disappointment me concerning the Eastern Orthodox. I don't expect Obama to tell the truth. The man will say anything, for he believes that all people are stupid. Why would an Orthodox Patriarch meet with Obama, much less wish him success? Why would the Pope meet with a unrepentant baby-killer? I wish they were more like John the Baptist condemning Herod, than the wishy-washy Christians that they have become.

"Millions of Muslims have lived in Russia for centuries in peace and harmony with their neighbors, a part of the 160 peoples and ethnic groups and more than fifty religious communities. Islam is an inseparable part of Russian history and culture. Respect for faith, customs and traditions of our peoples is the foundation for civil peace in our country. I want to be clear: Russia has no need to seek friendship with the Muslim world. Our country is an organic part of this world because 20 million of our citizens are Russian Muslims." -
Dmitri Medvedev, Russian Federation President
