Christians are a minority by absolutely HUGE numbers. That is why so many are leaving their homeland. It’s no place for Christians. I don’t think it ever was.~
Why and where should they go? For your information, Middle East is a place where Christianity came from. Our European ancestors were still eating each other for dinner, worshipped fire and water at the time the Christians were already in place in Syria. Why should they leave and where?? To Britain or France there they doesn’t consider Christians an eligible for asylump rotected minority, but no-go sharia zones in inner cities are immediate reality?
There MUST be someone on the planet who DOESN'T know that Christianity started in the middle east. LOL. Try NOT to to assume that everyone is like you. Being an OLD civilization isn't a prediction of a better society. Not at all. But you wouldn't have written such foolishness to be if you knew that.

We visited Syria when when we were there. I still use the damask tablecloths that I bought in the world's largest indoor market in Damascus. So I know all about the Syrians too. Have you been there? :o) I doubt it or you wouldn't have written such foolishness.

================================

As for the U.K., we've been there many, many times and we saw the Saudis (by their long white thobes) and therefore I know all about Arabs in London.
MAYBE you'll cease preaching about things you don't really know. I hope so.

~Al-Qaeda: there is no “non-thuggish” way to deal with it because it is a thug of the first order. Shoot to kill. Send our SEAL teams. No mercy.~
Isn’t a “thuggish way” all about that? What not to like regarding our topic?
This makes no sense as I have been writing continuously on this thread...or didn't you notice?

~Protect minorities: it isn’t our business. Really it isn’t. Those countries have their own governments and it is VERY, VERY presumptuous and arrogant of us to think that we have the right to superimpose our values on foreign governments.~
True, that is why Christians won’t survive without Assad and Putin. You may question their motives but they are the forces of good, not evil there. It is that simple.

If you had the ability to COMPREHEND what I have written you wouldn't have blustered on and on and on about the OBVIOUS. I never said that any of those governments were bad. But, trying to get through the wool in your brain is a Herculian task.

I was in Syria when HAFIZ Assad was president. Were YOU ever there? NO, of course not.
I lived in Saudi Arabia and traveled to all the middle east countries except Israel. We didn't want to risk an Israeli stamp on our passports NOT knowing what the Saudis would do.
Did YOU ever live in the middle east?
NO, of course not.
You bluster and blow about it as if YOU lived there. My husband and I lived in Ras Tanura for five years. We traveled THROUGHOUT Saudi Arabia and we visited the countries around there. We visited Egypt TWICE because it was so very wonderful

Christians left the middle east for a reason. I can't read their minds...though YOU may think you can. My guesses were based on my LIVING IN SAUDI ARABIA five years, not the guesses YOU have from NOT living beyond the boundaries of your own closed mind.

As for being under Putin, the folks in the middle east are NOT under Putin. The Saudis and middle easterners HATE communism and all it stood for, so even now, with the vestiges of communism still around Putin has NO say in what happens in the middle east.

By the way, my husband and I visited RUSSIA as well. Have you? I doubt it or you wouldn't be spouting off about Putin either.

I didn't condemn Putin or Russia either, but then, YOU just don't "get" it so it's kind of useless to try and talk to you about this.

Fi iman illah OR Maa salaama.
That is Arabic. But you wouldn't know that either, let alone know what it means.
GOOGLE it. It will do you good to work that brain of yours beyond the blather-mode.
