“The Christians in Syria — even the Catholics — side against the Islamofascist rebels the US is helping.”
“Islamofascists”? Oy! Anyhow, Russia’s strikes against the “Islamofascists” (to use a term cooked up by the fine folks at Heritage and PNAC and AIPAC) are really helping Iran. Don’t forget, it wasn’t ISIS that held over 50 Americans hostage in their own embassy for 444 days. That’s something we must NEVER, EVER forget!!
The term is used here to express the fact that the Syrian rebels (ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra Front, etc.) support the mass extermination of Christians.
