Obama's Syrian Allies Destroy Another Christian Church

[Right Wing]

The Antiochian Orthodox church of Sts. Sergius and Bacchus in the archdiocese of Aleppo was built between 1985 and 1994 on land offered by the al-Thawrah's city council. It served not only its own parishioners, but also allowed other Christian denominations to use its facilities.

Shortly after Aleppo was overrun by rebels seeking to overthrow the Syrian government, the metropolitan of the Archdiocese of Aleppo, Boulos al-Yazigi, was kidnapped (and allegedly murdered) along with the Syriac Orthodox metropolitan, Mor Gregorios Youhanna Ibrahim.

The AINA press agency reports that Christians who fled after the rebel onslaught told of discrimination by the occupiers and theft of their religious artifacts.

But that is not all they did. They destroyed the church entirely.

These are Obama's allies and John McCain's associates.

Both are doing bad things.

But as far as I have heard, we are only currently helping one side. Which means we are doing bad things as well.

Thank god we are not financing the Syria govt. But wait a min, we are financing the takfiri, jihadist, Wahhabi, Islamist monsters wrecking havoc in Syria. Just going to post another video of these so called rebels beheading 12 yr old boys.

While you are doing false equivalency BS, head over to liveleak syrian section and compare the atrocities committed by both sides. You will see that the rebel ones are deliberate with the beheading of innocent civilians, executions of Alawite families and govt supporters vs the announced bombing(they drop of leaflets warning civilians of their plans) rebels positions in the cities. Just the reaction from civilians when a city is liberated would tell you all you need to know about both sides

Syria: Easter cancelled in Homs after churches bombed

For the first time in centuries no services were held to mark the festival of Easter in Christian churches of war-torn Homs as the Syria government inflicted a heavy bombardment in defiance of UN-brokered ceasefire talks.

Plans for a negotiated end to fighting appeared on the verge collapse yesterday amid widespread violence and a new unilateral demand from the government for “written guarantees” from its opponents to lay down weapons.

The three principal churches for Christian denominations in the city, which until a few months ago was home to Syria’s third largest Christian community, were virtually abandoned. Other small churches have been destroyed as private homes became the places of worship on Sunday with priests and locals gathering in secret.

All are located in districts have been left devastated by weeks of heavy shelling.

“There is no celebration. For one week, there have been no sounds coming from the churches or the mosques,” said Saleem, a resident speaking from his home in Homs Old City, where most of the churches are located.

“Government forces have shelled the area this morning. It is too dangerous to go outside”.
