Assad Slaughtering Syrian Christians

The Pope said different, the Pope outranks the New Jersey transplant to Syria.

Your link is to a "think tank" that is pro interventionist in Syria and not news and the death of a rebel that is Christian (if the story is true) is not the same thing as Assad's regime persecuting the native Christians - which it never did.

The fact that you don't get that makes me think you are some kind of foreigner trying to get the USA to sympathize with your cause. Any American reading that would understand that the story shows zero persecution of Christians for their religion in Syria. And your link had zero to do with the Pope.

I see zero articles of the Pope backing the rebels or saying Syria's Assad persecutes Christians.
