10:56
cleans the wound that has endured in
10:58
Syria for years Jim chimy a center right
11:02
conservative has said on his ex social
11:05
media platform that the ancient city of
11:08
Damascus one of the oldest continuously
11:10
inhabited cities in the world Finds Its
11:13
Christian Community fing an increasingly
11:15
green future as the Syrian Civil War
11:17
continues to rage for nearly 2,000 years
11:21
Christians have been an integral part of
11:24
the city contributing to its cultural
11:27
social and religious identity yet today
11:31
this rich Christian presence is under
11:34
direct threat from the radical islamist
11:36
factions that now plague the region
11:39
Damascus holds a special place in
11:41
Christian history being the sight of the
11:44
conversion of sa later known as Paul the
11:47
Apostle whose dramatic transformation
11:49
marked a pivotal moment in Christian
11:52
tradition for centuries the city has
11:55
been home to ancient churches
11:57
monasteries and Christian neighborhoods
12:00
that serve as enduring symbols of the
12:03
faith however as the word depins this
12:06
vital Christian sites are now facing
12:09
destruction at the hands of radical
12:11
groups while the Syrian government
12:13
currently maintains control of Damascus
12:16
the surrounding areas arrive with
12:18
violence and
12:20
instability Rebel factions many of which
12:23
include islamist extremist groups like
12:26
Isis and alqaeda Affiliates continue to
12:29
alleng to government these jihadist
12:32
elements driven by a fundamentalist
12:34
ideology cause an existential threat to
12:37
Christians as their ideology often
12:40
involves the violent persecution of
12:42
religious minorities including forc
12:44
conversions abductions and killings for
12:48
Christians in Damascus the situation is
12:51
dire despite the authoritarian nature of
12:54
the Assad regime many Christians view
12:57
the government as a protector against
12:59
these extremist forces under Assad
13:02
secular rule Christians have had a level
13:05
of protection not afforded to religious
13:08
minorities in other parts of the Middle
13:10
East however as radical islamist groups
13:14
grow in strength this protection has
13:16
become increasingly Fragile the presence
13:19
of such groups in surrounding areas only
13:22
heightens the risk to the Christian
13:24
Community in Damascus as the city C soon
13:27
become a Battleground between these
13:29
extremists and the government forces the
13:32
fall of Damascus to such hostile forces
13:35
would have catastrophic consequences for
13:37
the Christian population radical groups
13:40
like Isis have already shown their
13:42
brutal intolerance for religious
13:44
minorities including Christians by
13:47
destroying churches forcing converence
13:50
and perpetrating unspeakable violence
13:53
should Damascus fall these extremists
13:56
would almost certainly attempt to erise
13:58
the Christian presence leading to the
14:01
destruction of churches monasteries and
14:04
cultural landmarks that have stood for
14:06
centuries this would likely result in a
14:09
mass Exodus of Christians marking the
14:12
end of a community that has been a
14:14
Cornerstone of Damascus identity for
14:16
nearly 2,000 years as the threat to
14:19
Damascus grows many Christians in the
14:22
city have turned to prayer for guidance
14:24
and protection Church Gatherings have
14:27
become a means of holding on to faith
14:30
not just for personal survival but for
14:33
the preservation of their religious
14:35
identity and Heritage their prayers are
14:38
both a cry for divine intervention and a
14:41
plea for the International Community to
14:43
recognize the grave danger the face and
14:45
act in their defense when many
14:48
Christians already flee to sepher
14:50
Regions or abroad those who remain in
14:53
Damascus continue to hope that can
14:55
preserve their homes and Legacy their
14:58
prayers reflect both both the fear of
15:00
what may come and the hope that one of
15:02
the world's oldest Christian communities
15:04
can endure the storm of radical islamist
15:07
violence as the International Community
15:09
watches the broader Syrian conflict
15:11
unfold the plight of Syrian Christians
15:14
calls for Urgent attention the need for
15:17
Global Christian solidarity has never
15:20
been more pressive the survival of
15:22
Christianity in Damascus one of the F's
15:25
most historic centers is now hanging by
15:28
its thread threatened by the growing
15:31
rise of radical islamist forces
15:33
determined to eradicate its presence
15:35
James stated in quote Donald Trump the
15:39
US president elect on his ex social
15:42
media handle on Saturday said with some
15:45
of his words written completely in
15:47
capital letters that I am hereby
15:50
demanding that the US do not get
15:52
involved in the conflict between Syria
15:55
Russia and Iran this is not our fight we
15:59
should not send one penny to Damascus or
16:02
any other party involved we cannot let
16:05
the wongar in the White House succeed in
16:07
starting World War II opposition
16:10
fighters in Syria in an unprecedented
16:13
move have totally taken over numerous
16:16
cities in a highly coordinated offensive
16:19
and are now on the outskirts of Damascus
16:22
obviously preparing to make a very big
16:24
move toward taking out Assad Russia
16:28
because they so tied up in Ukraine and
16:31
with the L there of over 600,000
16:33
soldiers seems incapable of stopping
16:36
this literal March through Syria a
16:39
country they have protected for years
16:41
this is where former president Obama
16:43
refused to honor his commitment of
16:45
protecting the Red Line in the Sand and
16:48
all hell broke out with Russia stepping
16:51
in but now they are like possibly Assad
16:54
himself being forced out and it may
16:58
actually be the best thing that can
17:00
happen to them there was never much of a
17:03
benefit in Syria for Russia other than
17:06
to make Obama look really stupid in any
17:09
event Syria is a mess but is not our
17:12
friend and the United States should have
17:15
nothing to do with it this is not our
17:18
fight let it play out do not get
