Islamist rebel forces in Syria have killed 45 Christians in the west-central town of Sadad, the largest massacre of Christians yet in the Syrian conflict.

In the wake of the killing, an Orthodox archbishop has mourned, “We have shouted aid to the world but no one has listened to us. Where is the Christian conscience? Where is the human consciousness? Where are my brothers?” According to Agenzia Fides, Syrian Orthodox Archbishop Selwanos Boutros Alnemeh reported that Islamist rebels entered the town on October 21st; a week later, it was re-captured by the Syrian army.

“What happened in Sadad is the most serious and largest massacre of Christians in Syria and the second in the Middle East, after the one in the Church of Our Lady of Salvation in Iraq in 2010,” said the prelate:

I would venture to speculate that the goobermint of the USA is no longer on the side of Judeo-Christian principles.

mudslime-marxist, yes. Judeo-Christian, no.

Were these Christians massacred by the same Islamists on whose behalf we were going to war for just a few months ago?

According to the president’s advisors, the US us an Islamic country so that explains a lot. If you want to keep your Christians, you can keep your Christians. Trust Barry to defend Christians, right?

We ARE listening!

Prayer for Peace in Syria

 

God of Compassion,
Hear the cries of the people of Syria,
Bring healing to those suffering from the violence,
Bring comfort to those mourning the dead,
Strengthen Syria’s neighbors in their care and welcome for refugees,
Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms,
And protect those committed to peace.

God of Hope,
Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with enemies,
Inspire the Church around the world with compassion for the people of Syria,
And give us hope for a future of peace built on justice for all.

We ask this through Jesus Christ,
Prince of Peace and Light of the World,
Amen.

Petition: For the people of Syria, that God may strengthen the resolve of leaders to end the fighting and choose a future of peace.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]

The silence of the world has been deafening. Syria is not the only place this is happening, yet everywhere I read how churches and Christian sects are seeking 'understanding' with their muslim brothers...including the vatican. I tell you now, this is a turning away from G-d and an acceptance of evil that no church can tolerate and survive.

This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.

If ever there as a cause for U.S. humanitarian intervention, it is Christian genocide. Yet the U.S. supports Sunni terrorists instead: in Libya, in Egypt and in Syria. These ancient Christian communities can never be replaced.

There is a time when the Word is not enough—action is required. This has been evidenced throughout the Bible. You do not overcome evil by tossing words at em!!

The very same ones that barry waived a provision that makes it illegal to give weapons to any terrorist group. Yep, same freaks that we give money, weapons and training to.

We are being set up in ways that make my head spin.
My heart breaks for the innocents in Syria and elsewhere, and I’m livid that our ‘betters’ allow this freedom for terrorists to roam, everywhere.

FWIW, the only US politician I heard mention Syria’s Christians was Rand Paul.

Lord God,

Hear our cries for the persecuted Church-—Your precious ones who are being destroyed because of their faith and their proclamation of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. May the prayers and actions of Christians all over this world rise up in defense of these innocents. And may You bring good even in the midst of these horrible tortures and slayings. In the Name of Jesus Christ, let it be so. Amen.

In the wake of the killing, an Orthodox archbishop has mourned, “We have shouted aid to the world but no one has listened to us. Where is the Christian conscience? Where is the human consciousness?

A hundred thousand Christians would have to be murdered to get the same press coverage as one gay man murdered by someone 'alleged to be a homophobe' ( killer later identified as a former gay lover) ... Five hundred young black people killed by other blacks in Chicago would not get a tenth the coverage of one black person killed by an 'alleged white person' - later identified as an Hispanic... in the South.

If the good Orthodox archbishop wants to see massive press coverage he needs to belong to a victim group that supports the liberal establishment. A group the press gives a damn about... sadly for him - "Christians" are NOT in that group.

We can thank the New York Times for this insanity and 'schools' of Journalism across the country... Eff you Jay Rosen...
