Syria Christians In Firing Line; Hundreds Killed
Thursday, February 16, 2012
DAMASCUS/VIENNA – Hundreds of Syrian Christians have been killed and several Christians kidnapped as fighting rages between government forces and rebels, an aid group working in the region told BosNewsLife Thursday, February 16.
“The key battleground of Homs is encircled by fighters from both sides, leaving the Christians there and in the surrounding villages – approximately 100,000 – in the firing line, many of them trapped in the city,” said Barnabas Fund, which supports local believers there.
The Britain-based group said at least over 200 Syrian Christians died in recent clashes and added that the community “has been beset by a series” of kidnappings blamed mainly on rebels calling themselves the Free Syrian Army.
“The rebels make high ransom demands for the return of the captives, but in two known cases the victims’ bodies were found after the money had been paid,” Barnabas Fund claimed, without providing more details.
“Some families are now becoming so desperate that they tell the kidnappers to kill their loved one immediately rather than subjecting them to torture.”

Syria removed its Jewish population and now is destroying its Christian population. All over the Muslim world Christian communities (especially those older than Islam) are being destroyed. And our leaders say nothing. They apologize for the burning of a Koran, but not a word on the destruction of Christians.
On a sad note: A death warrant has been issued by the government of Iran for Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani. Youcef Nadarkhani has said nothing (The Iranian government will use it against him.) and there is no word on whether he can appeal this, or if he is already killed. Please keep him and his family (A wife and 2 young sons.) in your prayers.

Please don’t forget that amid all the violence, Christians are being killed by the very ones that are taking over! Please keep them in your prayers and keep them in your posts so that people will not forget!
