Syrian Christians: "Why is America at war with us?" - Jihad Watch

Could be because Dear Leader has no use for Christians no matter where they are. Could be because Dear Leader prefers the alliances of his true religion. Could just be because Dear Leader is an arrogant, hateful, anti-Semite, anti-Christian idiot.

Syrian Christians: "Why is America at war with us?"

Why indeed? "Syrian Christians: 'Why Is America at War with Us,'" from CBNNews.com, June 27:

Syrian Christians are asking why the United States supports extremists who want to turn Syria into an Islamic state. 

That testimony came during a congressional hearing on Syria's religious minorities Tuesday.

Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who chairs the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights, called on President Barack Obama to defend the rights of Syrian Christians.

In an opening statement at Tuesday's hearing, Smith said statistics show "that Christians are even more fearful for their lives and safety than other segments of the Syrian population."...

Christian Solidarity International CEO Dr. John Eibner, who also testified at the hearing, said displaced Christians are asking him, "Why is the U.S. at war against us?"

Eibner told the panel he recently returned from a trip to Syria where he met with "many resilient and courageous Syrians, mainly displaced Christians and church workers."

"Victims recounted to me the religious cleansing of Christian neighborhoods in Homs and Qusair by armed jihadists who threatened them with death if they did not leave their homes," he said.

"A Christian woman told me that before she fled Homs, she had seen the beheading in broad daylight of an Alawite girl who was pulled off a public minibus by armed jihadist," he said.

Eibner said the United States should work with Russia to negotiate a peace rather than help Sunni Muslims turn the country into an Islamic state.
