Catholics in Syria Plead to US: Stop Supporting Rebels
The Clarion Projest ^ | October 26, 2016

Posted on 10/27/2016 5:15:50 AM PDT by detective

A number of Catholic leaders in Syria issued a statement pleading with the U.S. and other Western governments to stop supporting rebel groups.

Published in Catholic World Report, the statement, attributed to Archbishop Jean Clement, the Melike Catholic leader in Aleppo, read: “Please help us to pull our country back from the abyss of the fundamentalist regime in which they are trying to immerse us. “Just stop selling arms to the terrorists,” begged Father Mtanios Haddad, a Melkite now serving in Rome. Haddad said three crucial actions are needed:

Stopping the flow of arms from the U.S. to the terrorists

Stopping the flow of money from Saudi Arabia which funds the terrorists

Closing the border with Turkey through which the terrorists reach Syria.

when Christians get murdered using my tax dollars, Obama calls that a “win”.

What? Christians who are gullible enough to think the Islamist Obama Regime could be convinced to stop their long-term policy of advancing jihad? Ain’t gonna happen. If Hillary is elected, such support will expand big time.

Most Americans don’t even know that the US is actively supporting the jihadis. Russia is trying to kill terrorists. We arm and fund terrorists.

Because Obama and his top people are crypto-Muslims.

Funny, I don’t hear of Syrian Christians screaming for Putin to stop what he’s doing.

Could it be that obama/jarett know exactly what they’re doing, and Putin is countering by helping the Christians (either directly or indirectly)?

Maybe this is why the inside the Beltway crowd wants war with Russia so bad - how dare he help those...those Christians!

All we are doing is ARMING Muslims who will kill infidels and attack US directly at some time in the future. It is madness to arm ANY Muslim.

They should have gotten a message to Cardinal Dolan - he could have spoken privately to Hillary before the Al Smith dinner and she would have changed her ways right away. /s

We can thank the pr!cks in the Bush administration for their diabolical strategy to topple secular dictators in the Middle East who were the only source of protection for these Christian minorities.

This put to lie the Obama claim that we are supporting ‘moderate” rebels. We are supporting the most vicious, violent terrorist muslims there are and they are much, much worse than the Assad regime. I have no idea why we are involved in any of this Syrian stuff - we have no dog in this fight.

And if Hillary wins, expect her to start persecuting Christians in America to a much more alarming rate and degree than Obama ever considered.

They are supporting Islam with the expressed intent of destroying Christianity.

I doubt the Russian Orthodox Church would be pleased if they thought Putin was messing with the Syrian Christians. The ties Russia has to Syriac Christianity are real, and I believe he will act in their interest.

As for Barack Hussein....well....

One must realize that Christians were protected in Assad’s Syria. The battle in Syria is simply that Assad is a Shia ( Persian) Muslim while ISIS (and Obama’s father) are Sunni (Arab) Muslim. This is the battle for power within Islam since the death of Mohammed. It is a family feud for control of the faith. Another note of mention is the leader Saladin was also a Shia Muslim. This angst is well portrayed in the movie Kingdom of Heaven in the scene in his tent during the siege. A family feud since 712? AD., over 1300yrs. Talk about Hatfield’s and McCoy’s!

The seriousness of the issue is these players truly seek world dominion!

They get it. It’s Assad or fundamentalist Sharia loving Muslims. The West has staked its choice to destroy what’s left of Christianity in the ME all the while denying their ability to flee to the West. Our reckoning is coming.

Why are we sitting back and allowing Obama and the democrats to supply moslem insurgents in an internal fight with the government of Syria? Is it because they are crazy muslims who adhere to the strict interpertation of the koran? Is it because Obama is a muslim and a sympathizer?

At any rate, we do not have the right to interfere in the internal politics of a sovereign country. I really hope Trump wins because Hillary will continue doing what Obama started.

We have had four malignant, globalist administrations back to back. Bush Clinton Bush2 Obama have worked in tandem like gandy dancers to diminish American freedom, security and prosperity. Hillary is the worst prospect yet. Thankfully, she hasn’t won yet and has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

There it is. The whole world knows this administration is aiding and abetting the enemy.

“Just stop selling arms to the terrorists,”

We can't, because according to our religion of money-worship, we have to make a profit any way we can.
