before the civil war the city of Qusayr, located in eastern portion of Syria near the Lebanese border, had around 40,000 people, including 7,000 Christians.
“In late 2011, the Sunni townsmen came and told us to either join us in anti-regime demonstrations or leave the town. If we didn’t, we would be killed,” Fadul Abu Yohanna Kasouhah, a Christian resident of Qusayr, described to CSI.
According to Fadul, the Sunni Islamists in his village used the loudspeakers from the Mosques to name the Christian families by name and told them to leave.
Fadul told CSI how his cousin was gunned down by Sunni extremists for refusing to leave.
“My cousin Bater said, ‘We will not leave. This is our town, our land.’ He was recently married, and his wife was seven months pregnant. They shot him to death as he was going to work on his motorbike,” Fadul said.
Eventually, the local Sunni extremists were joined by foreign Islamic jihadists and cleansed the town of Christians, according to Fadul.
“In March 2012, many foreign jihadis came to Qusayr and surrounded Christian Street. They were joined by a mob of local Sunnis… The next day, all the Christians did leave Qusayr—870 families. Only two or three very old Christians stayed. Most left with nothing. No one helped us.”

“Religious cleansing” — it almost sounds wholesome ...
These are Obama’s Islamist allies in action. If Assad falls, the Christians will be expelled or slaughtered and the Obama dream of a Greater Caliphate will be one step closer.
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross
....except that this is the baptism of blood.
How can this be????? All lies!!!! moozlums have a “peaceful religion”...no?
And ever since that fly infested (unclean spirit) of a president went to Cairo in 2009 and stirred up this spring chaos, I’ve been praying that peace would return,
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
the msm wont report on this or anything that makes this administration look incompetent, any concern here is just phoney,
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown , and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.” Isaiah 27:13
