Assad never persecuted the Syrian Christians. Most Syrian Christians support Assad. Syria has a long history of Christians. ISIS is killing Christians and everybody else who isn’t ISIS. ISIS needs to go not Assad.
I don’t care if Assad stays or goes. That decision belongs to the people in Syria and/or the people in the region. It’s not our call.
Christians have been living in this dangerous part of the world among sectarian muslim warfare for centuries. They should know the score by now. They should defend themselves a la Israel. Arm up to the teeth and take up defensive positions . I wouldn’t mind helping them do that.
