A Syrian Catholic Church leader recently condemned both U.S. foreign policy and Western media for ignoring Christian persecution and worsening the conflict in Iraq and Syria.

"Innocent people, especially Christians, have no support. The West has betrayed us," Patriarch Ignace Joseph III Younan told Egyptian Catholic magazine Le Messager last week.

The left attacks Christianity on two fronts: The left attacks Christianity using the left’s “gay” proxy and using their Islamist proxy.

A Syrian Catholic Church leader"""""......

Why don't you LEAD your Christian fellowship OUT of there, that's what a Shepherd would do. Seems like everyone else is leaving. Quit complaining and get to walking.

Which leads to this: if the Christians are still in Syria, who are the refugees?

The US hasn’t supported persecuted Christians since Reagan pulled out of Lebanon’s civil war back in the ‘80s. The Leftists running the District of Criminals LOVE, absolutely L-O-V-E, Muzzies especially since 2008!

It looks like they’ve finally figured it out. The West has abandoned every Christian everywhere. Why should they be any different?

Since the Western Man hasn’t risen up and rid the world of the Leftists in out midst, we have abandoned them.

Why are Catholic charities among those who want to resettle Syrian refugees here...including non-Christians. Why don’t the Catholics, the Lutherans and the Jews focus on saving the Christians?

And we GET MAD because Christians now trust PUTIN more than our own president, to look after their interests.

Go figure.

Jesus’ scourging at the pillar and crowning of thornes is what these people live with. Leave your country, people say.

Why should God continue to bless America when we wont help His weakest, shivering in terror...at home in abortion mills or abroad in persecuting areas.

We balance head in sand with isolationism and keep our malls open 24/7. And we deserve that, and gay marriage, and euthanasia, and every other plague we can heap upon ourselves in our gluttony.
