Letter to to Presidential Candidate Dr. Ben Carson from a Greek Orthodox Priest

After presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson called the Syrians refugees rabid dogs, Father Theodoros Daoud , an Antiochian Orthodox Christian priest sends him this letter:
 
Dear rabid dog Dr. Ben Carson,
I hope this word will not offend you, doctor. If it does, I don’t care because you have offended each one of the 9 million Syrian refugees by calling them rabid dogs. You, along with every politician who caused Syria—the land of Saint Peter and Paul, the Apostles and the saints—to bleed to death, are evil rabid dogs.
