قوات النظام السوري وحزب الله تدخل إلى مدينة يبرود

Cedre, I am not pro Assad. My family has had many losses at his hands for no reason, we did nothing to Syria but they starved us and killed many women and children. I will not forget that. However, look at what is happening to churches in Syria right now. To priests, to bishops nuns... This is not propaganda. This stuff is happening, it is real. These Sunni extremists are slaughtering Christians like its nothing and desecrating our churches. So I stand by my comment above. It is a shame that nobody is really our friend.

Also yes everything you say about Chouf and why Christians left Lebanon and Assad is true. I agree. But this is what I mean when I say we don't have friends. Pick another country where we have the other side in power. KSA, Egypt... Pick a country. Its not better. I'm not saying Assad is the answer remember. I'm just saying that I am not comfortable with Nusra/ISIL allies running Syria. I appreciate if there are Muslims standing by Christians from Egypt to Iraq. I know there are. I just don't see enough love by the masses.

Zahle1 - I do not support any party that claim mandate from God be it Hizbollah, ISIL or Nusra. However, one must not confuse the deranged people of ISIL with reasonably decent but misguided Nusra. If you read Human Rights organizations report (google human rights watch syria for example), you will see that the biggest criminal and by far is the regime , followed by ISIL. The rebels are fighting both these monsters.The rebels and supporters have lost more than 2000 people against ISIL over t

Over the last few months. On many occasion, this regime was providing ISIL air and artillery cover. When rebel-controlled Allepo was being flattened to the ground few weeks ago, hundreds of thousands of refugees fled to ISIL-controlled area like Azzaz because they knew the regime would not attack. Hours after ISIL was forced to withdraw from Azzaz and the rebel entered, guess whose airforce dropped barrels full of exposive of the city!

I understand why many Christians would be scared. Heck, I am a Muslim and I am very scared from the likes of ISIL. But it is the rebels and not the regime that is fighting and defeating this monster. And as I will not accept ISIL or the like of ISIL, I will not accept this monstrous regime and those who do have lost all pretenses to decency.

+1000 rafehh

FT - You seem to have lost your ability to read. Re-read what I wrote.

maybe u're right, maybe u're wrong, maybe hadi abdallah that stayed with them is telling the truth when he's saying that sister pelagia told him she was happy to help to free other syrian women, even if mslims...
Anyway by the logic of some here against sunnis helping sunnis in syria, lebanese state should not care about them or the bishops coz they're not lebanese...
