For some time there have been communities with Kurds who were also Christians in Northern Syria. They have been not as visible for fear of persecution.
Some other communities have had almost 100% Christian population for many generations.
The non-Kurd Christian Communities have joined the SDF and are asking for the US government to treat them like we have their Kurdish counterparts in order to defend themselves. They are involved in the Raqqa campaign.
Some time ago, a close Kurdish friend explained this group to me.
I'm personally going to request my congressman to help them like we are the Syrian Kurds and the other SDF members.

Me too brother.
My house rep. actually returns (I know it’s not him writing it) every email I send him.
I will have to figure out how to word it to get to the point.

but a Christian force is taking part and is asking for U.S. support and prayers. If Obama were still in charge, no doubt he and Brennan would make them drone targets.

Send them SNIPER rifles and some US Black Ops forces to help them with mini-UAV’s.

I’m personally going to ask almighty God to blight all neocon agitation, deceit, regime change and warmongering in the region.
SDF is a false front. So is this “Christian” photo-op.

This is a tiny group with very little support. The vast majority of Syrian Christians, including in the northeast part of Syria, support the government and fight for the SAA or NDF.
It’s really a US front group designed to give the false impression that Syrian Christians don’t support the government. They have no combat power. The entire SDF is a fig leaf for the Kurds, not a real organization.
If you care about protecting Christians in Syria, support the government.
Write to your Congressmen and ask them to stop arming all rebels.
To: Texas Fossil
The Christian female fighters and their Kurdish allies see themselves as warriors for women’s rights who will open a new chapter for their gender in the region.
