...The 2010 Baghdad church attack, which saw nearly 60 Christian worshippers slaughtered, is the tip of a decade-long iceberg.
Now, as the U.S. supports the jihad on Syria’s secular president
Assad, the same pattern has come to Syria: entire regions and towns
where Christians lived for centuries before Islam came into being have
now been emptied, as the opposition targets Christians for kidnapping,
plundering, and beheadings, all in compliance with mosque calls telling
the populace that it’s a “sacred duty” to drive Christians away.
In October 2012 the last Christian in the city of Homs—which had a Christian population of some 80,000 before jihadis
came—was murdered. One teenage Syrian girl said: “We left because they
were trying to kill us… because we were Christians…. Those who were
our neighbors turned against us. At the end, when we ran away, we went
through balconies. We did not even dare go out on the street in front of
our house.”
