Soon Syria will be the only Middle Eastern country where Christians are not second class citizens.

You have to be joking. Syria? Christians are and always will be second class citizens in any Moselem country. Islamic law dictates it.

You are displaying willful ignorance. Syria is not under Islamic law yet. It is ruled by a secular Baath party which is based on pan-Arabic national ideas (BTW, this party was founded by a Christian - Michael Aflaq). The ruling family belongs to the minority sect of Alawites. Syrian Christians make about 12% and they are doing fine!

But when Syria is "liberated" Christians will have to flee and Islamic rule will be introduced.
