“There has not been such an attack on a church in Damascus since 1860 except during your tenure.”

FYI
“The Damascus Blood Libel, or Damascus Affair, was a notorious blood libel that originated in 1840. Christian anti-Semitism and popular Muslim anti-Jewish feelings came to a head that year and were aggravated by the political struggle of the European powers for influence in the Middle East. Syria was then ruled by Muhammad Ali of Egypt, who had rebelled against Turkey. France supported Ali, while the other powers – notably Austria and Great Britain – were interested in preserving Turkish power and in preventing the extention of French influence.”
