Syria: Muslims explode car bomb in front of church, murder at least seven Christians
How frequently do churches get attacked by Muslims? How frequently do mosques get attacked by Christians? Right. How much media attention is given to Muslim persecution of Christians? How much media attention is given to “Islamophobia”? Right.

“Car Bomb Strikes Syrian Christian Church,” International Christian Concern, July 11, 2019:
07/11/19 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on July 11, 2019, a car bomb exploded next to the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church in the Syrian city of Qamishli.
The Assyrian Monitor for Human Rights wrote in a statement, “[A] terrorism incident took place this afternoon… the attack was by a car bombing in front of St. Mary’s Church for the Orthodox and the majority there (the neighborhood) are Christian. The incident resulted in civilian injuries and the destruction of buildings for the church and other surroundings.”
Although reports vary regarding the number of causalities and injuries from the explosion, most report that between seven and 11 Christians were either killed or injured. Photos of the attack show substantial material damage from both the immediate explosion and a large fire which spread throughout the street. The church and surrounding buildings were all damaged.
No terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, the city has been targeted on a number of occasions as a consequence of both the Syrian Civil War and activities by the Islamic State (ISIS)….
One Syrian Christian shared with ICC how his “children believe that staying out of Syria is better because they have nothing now and no future for them.”
Another added, “Our children are oppressed. They prefer to stay away from the problems and the risk. [My husband] and I do not prefer to return.”
Qamishli Christians maintained a stronger presence in this city throughout the conflict compared to other locations. However, this attack underscores just how volatile Syria remains and the detrimental impact on the nation’s Christians. “We hope that this evil ends as soon as possible,” said one Orthodox Christian….

You never will either…What really annoyed me is that because she couldn’t bring all the rohingya muslims from Manus Island to New Zealand as the Australians blocked it, so she bloody gave the Rohingya’s $3 million of out taxpayers money… She is a freaking MORON when it comes to Islam..

The world remains silent, but they risk the anger of God. God’s judgement and condemnation shall follow nonetheless.

As I had said immediately after the mosque shooting in NZ: It’s difficult for me to have any sympathy. They deserve a dose of their own psychotic medicine.

Hey I am a Kiwi and I damned near burst a blood vessel with Anger over the stupid Biatch of a PM… Strange thing is, everyone I spoke to felt the same way… But then we are country people and so more conservative…But even my niece who is a bleeding heart leftie said, “This is a bit too much, we didn’t do this, (the shooting) so why the hell do we have to beat ourselves up about it”… I actually have some hope for her now.

Well, it is common knowledge that the average Kiwi has common sense in spades. I’ve met a few –you are a culture of manners, humor and decency. But politicians are a breed all their own, regardless of nationality. They’re ALL self-serving, corrupt, arrogant, and greedy.

IF this is NOT a declaration of war, I don’t know what is.
You’ll reach a point where you are gonna have to do something PHYSICAL. Either move or fight back.

I wonder if any of those killed were among the scores of Syrian Christians that Hussein Obama denied asylum to, while he let hordes of the Christian torturing/killing Syrian mozzlems the green light to enter the USA…..

The persecution of Christians throughout the world has reached genocidal proportions. Where is the Pope? Where is the National Council of Churches? Where are the evangelicals? Where are the so-called Christian leaders? One thing I know is that they are not protesting, they are not fighting back, and they certainly are not protecting those who are being killed, maimed, imprisoned, discriminated against. THEY ARE ALL SILENT!!

Well said. Most Christian leaders are gutless dead losses. It’s an appalling state of affairs. Where you’d expect there to be anger over the appalling treatment and murders of Christians there is little – or none. The Pope and Councils of Churches are a useless lot. Go to church and you barely hear anything, or nothing, about the plight of Christians in the Middle East, North Africa, and other Muslim-dominated ‘shit-holes’ like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia. The are so weak that they don’t want to cause offence, so, it seems, they pretend that all is well. When we another crusade there is nothing, not even outrage.

This is one of a very few sites that will carry this story, and update us on the Christian Genocide taking place around the world.
Around the world, Christians and others are condemned for their fears, for that which they instinctively sense, and also read about, and pressed to believe the untruths told by certain party.
The world they think is out there, that is possible, does not exist.
They have placed all in danger because they lack understanding of human nature, of the bonds, and strong beliefs that men die for, and that area, such violence throughout history, like the blood calls out.

The atheist Communists might think the f’ing muslums will go along w/their plan but Iran’s Communists found out the hard way what the f’ing muslums think of their atheist credo when they were exterminated.

To make matters worse, H.R. McMaster, former glowering, nonsense talking National Security Advisor to Trump and disgusting ignoramus on Islam, at Stanford University a few days ago stated that Muslims are the biggest victims of Islamic violence. We have no idea how many Christians and Yazidis were murdered – with incredible savagery – by Muslims in Iraq and Syria, and neither does oaf McMaster, so his claim is disgusting rubbish and he wants to consider Muslims the victims. In addition, over the last 20 years more than 70,000 Christians have been murdered by the Muslims of Boko Haram and the herdsmen, so what is McMaster talking about? Then Ayaan Hirsi Alli recommended talking less about Islam – and Niall Ferguson insanely agreed. Why talk less? Islam it is the biggest elephant in the room, hate-filled, bigoted, intolerant, insanely backward and murderous, so why stop talking about this rubbish ideology and its mentally deranged followers of a Satanic cult when all over they are creating chaos and murdering innocent people?

Before the coming of Islam, the region that became Syria was actually dominated by Christians, including the Arabs of Jabiyah. Sadly, that heritage has all but died.
