Islamic extremists are engaged in “ethnic cleansing” of Christians in the Syrian city of Homs, local sources tell the Fides news service.

Militants with links to Al Qaida have reportedly driven 90% of the Christians out of the city, going door-to-door to inform families that they must leave immediately.

Only Christ is going to do that. But perhaps until then we Christians should do something about it...

“When will ANYONE stand up for Christians?”

They’re not part of the Politically Correct Victims List. In any event, the Religion of Peace shows its true nature yet again.

Oh, I’m sure the NATO airstrikes to protect those victims of ethnic cleansing will begin any moment now. Yep, any moment. Gonna hear those jets rumbling off into the distance before you know it. There they go now! Oh, wait, never mind - just a FedEx cargo plane passing nearby. Hmm, it must take a long time to fuel up for this mission - yeah, that’s the ticket...

Actually, the Assad regime (brutish, though they are) enjoys the support of Syria's Christians and has always functioned as the protector of religious minorities (Christians included) against the enthusiasms of the Sunnis.

The siege of Homs, much decried by our State Department, is, among other things, an effort to protect Christians (though mostly it's to protect Alawites).

Of course, just like in the Balkans and Chechenya, in fact, just like everywhere with the exception of Nagorno-Karabakh, the U.S. government, given the chance, will side with Muslims against Eastern Christians.

Assad is better. It’s time to state the truth.

Christ himself will have the ultimate revenge party when the time is right. Until then? No no one will stand for the christians.

As in politics the people who get piled on are the one’s that message is true and scares the heck out everyone else. The message of The God of the Cross and the Resurrection scares the crap out of people so they choose to eliminate that which they dont understand.

I think the big question is will the Christians support Obama again, like they did in the last election.-tom
