Syria: "Revolution" Becoming More Islamic
This information is, of course, kept silent from us by the “correct” mass media: In Syria, things are going, as anywhere else in the Arab “Spring,” according to the seizure of power by political Islam. As the “Catholic Magazine for Church and Culture” reports, persecution of Christians in Syria are on a massive increase. Behind the so-appearing “freedom” battle is hiding a religious conflict: “Islamistic” Sunnis have Christians and Alevits in the crosshairs. 80 percent of Christians have already fled from Muslim and mixed neighborhoods. Al-Qaeda is joining in the battle in Syria against the “anti-islamic” regime!
If Alevite Assad should be deposed, then Pandora’s box will be opened in Syria. Then will gate and door be opened, as everywhere else in the islamic world, to persecution of “infidels.” When dictators like Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Mubarak in Egypt or Gadaffi in Libya who held the fundamentalists under tough control, were taken out of the picture, this paved the way to power for unbridled political Islam. And thus, the same is taking place in Syria: in the shadow of the battle between military and insurrectionists, the Christians are in peril, and most of the media persist in keeping it silent:
On January 25th, Pater Basilios Nassar, Greek Orthodox curate from Kafarbohom in the Hama province, was murdered when he tried to help a man attacked by them in Jarajima Street of Hama.
On January 24th, the Christian major Zafer Karam Issa, 30 years old and married one year, was murdered in front of his house. His murderer is the son of the islamist Emir from Yabroud, Khadra, who with other islamists ambushed the Christian whose body was riddled with more than 100 shots.
Last week, the young Christian Khairo Kassouha, 24 years old, was murdered in front of his house in the Al-Qusair district.
A good 80 percent of all Christians have fled from some of the Muslim-Christian mixed neighborhoods in Homs. They have sought refuge in other regions among relatives or friends, or in the valley of the Christians. The Christians of the Hama city and province are doing the same. The unrest among Christians is becoming stronger with the persistence of the rebellion. The Christian movement to flee is swelling more and more.
