There might be a blood bath for a little bit and a bigger blood bath for the Christian minorities, but in the end they will probably talk it out.

The ones i have underlined (only) are the ones i feel that need some attention paid to, whereas the ones in italics are the ones i feel are debatable as to their meaning.
Please explain to me why you are opposed to political progress.
