“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….

There was NO islamic jihad attacks against Christians in Syria before the US and Saudi-sponsored jihadists invaded Syria! Thanks to Iran, Hezbollah and Russia they are now on the brink of a complete defeat!

The Bloodthirstypseudochristian genocidist and proponent of mythical, pre-constitutional Tsarism is a backward and sociopathic man who makes up his own facts. There were certainly persecutions of Christians in Syria before ISIS. The history of Syria is one very long persecution of Christians. The Assyrians have been identified as the Martyr Church.

Truth About Muhammad
by Robert Spencer
https://afdi.us/the-truth-about-muhammad/
The Qur’an and Islamic tradition are clear: Muhammad is the supreme example of behavior for Muslims to follow. His importance to hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide is rooted in the Qur’an, the Muslim holy book. In brief, he is “an excellent model of conduct” (Qur’an 33:21). He demonstrates “an exalted standard of character” (68:4), and indeed, “he who obeys the Messenger [Muhammad], obeys Allah” (4:80). The Qur’an frequently tells Muslims to obey Allah and Muhammad: while the Muslim holy book takes for granted that Muhammad is fallible (cf. 48:2; 80:1-12), it also instructs Muslims repeatedly to obey Muhammad (3:32; 3:132; 4:13; 4:59; 4:69; 5:92; 8:1; 8:20; 8:46; 9:71; 24:47; 24:51; 24:52; 24:54; 24:56; 33:33; 47:33; 49:14; 58:13; 64:12).
Any devout Muslim will take this seriously. Muqtedar Khan of the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy explains:
No religious leader has as much influence on his followers as does Muhammad (Peace be upon him) the last Prophet of Islam….And Muhammad as the final messenger of God enjoys preeminence when it comes to revelation – the Qur’an – and traditions. So much so that the words, deeds and silences (that which he saw and did not forbid) of Muhammad became an independent source of Islamic law. Muslims, as a part of religious observance, not only obey, but also seek to emulate and imitate their Prophet in every aspect of life. Thus Muhammad is the medium as well as a source of the divine law.[1]
Pedophile Prophet
According to ahadith reported by Bukhari, the Prophet of Islam “married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed [i.e., consummated] that marriage when she was nine years old.”[2] He was at this time in his early fifties. Many Islamic apologists claim – in the teeth of this evidence – that Aisha was actually older. Karen Armstrong asserts that “Tabari says that she was so young that she stayed in her parents’ home and the marriage was consummated there later when she had reached puberty.”[3] Unfortunately, her readers are unlikely to have volumes of Tabari on hand to check her assertion; contrary to Armstrong’s account, the Muslim historian quotes Aisha thusly: “The Messenger of God married me when I was seven; my marriage was consummated when I was nine.”[4]
However, other Muslim spokesmen acknowledge what the records say. Islamic scholar Muhammad Ali Al-Hanooti said that Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha was the will of Allah, and “Allah usually is not the one who we are allowed to argue with for any ordinance or commandment. The Qur’an says, ‘He is not questioned for what He does, but they (people) are questioned for what they do.’ Aisha got married when she was nine, when the Prophet (SAAWS) died, she was nineteen….What is wrong in her marriage of six or nine or whatsoever?”[5]
Child marriages were common in seventh-century Arabia. It is noteworthy that there is no record in the Qur’an or Hadith of Muhammad having to defend his marriage to Aisha– in sharp contrast to his obvious defensiveness over his marriage to his former daughter-in-law, Zaynab bint Jahsh. Moreover, the Qur’an describes a culture in which child marriage is taken for granted. In its directives about the waiting period required in order to determine if one’s wife is pregnant before divorcing her, it says: “If you are in doubt concerning those of your wives who have ceased menstruating, know that their waiting period shall be three months. The same shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” (Qur’an 65:4, emphasis added). In this revelation Allah envisions a scenario in which a pre-pubescent woman is not only married, but also divorced by her husband.
The Ayatollah Khomeini married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight.[6] Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.”[7]

Now this is another oddball comment!
1. muslims never need an excuse to attack Christians, they do it all the time and there is no excuse anyway!
2. Just like the ‘oppressed, victimized’ left, they too always see themselves as the victim that is ‘justified’ to attack some innocent victims in the name of ‘self defense’.
3. There are all kinds of things going on politically regarding secret intrigue, I would be a fool to claim to know it all regarding such matters. But whether or not that even would have a kernel of truth to it, it would still be NO justification to murder innocent Christian people!
MORE POLITICS!
This makes the point again that I feel the need to restate.
Take two opposing groups. Each claims to be the ‘original victim.’ Each claims the other is the ‘fascist.’ Each claims to be right. Only one can take control and when they do, they will exercise that control. The problem is not the issue of being in control, as something has to be. The issue is what is in control? Even a world government would not be a bad thing if it was under God, but under the devil? That would be a problem, and thee problem. And this is not about basic liberties or neutral ground, it is one of those either/or situations. One example would be ‘gay marriage.’ Either it is legal or it is not. Many such examples exist. Of course the left wants to crush liberties like freedom of speech too, some areas do have a middle ground, but all else aside, some matters simply come down to ‘this… or that.’ Since sodomy is a sin, gay marriage should not be legal. Each side will contest to their dying breath that they should have their way. Of course the side that is right should, but the other side will never be convinced that they are wrong. Yes, the Christian side is right and the left is wrong. It also gets interesting that yes, we are basing the foundations of that stand upon the Christian world view, the Bible. It must be based on something. Then the atheists come along and say we are taking that foundation for granted and they deny it and want to impose another view, as do all the competing views. This boils down to the question of: which view? Then the debates begin about superior views based on all sorts of criteria. This can go on forever since you can’t prove or disprove most of this to the ‘naked eye.’ (I have my proof, but I can’t convince you, etc.) And yes, there is scientific proof for Creation, which some types are biased against. It is complicated of course. Then to wax philosophical…there is the area of things that are subjective and things that are not. There is absolute and eternal truth, and some of it includes morality in the Bible, some of it includes math, etc. Yet other things are subjective or relative, such as what is the best outfit to wear based on various factors, what is the ‘best’ food or color or music, etc. That plays into this also.
But let’s take a simple approach. Look at the countries that have been dominated by the different worldviews over history, and you decide which one (or ones) you would rather live in. Case closed!

What vicious tripe from christianblood–he always pretends that it is Americans and Israelis waging Jihad, not Muslims.
And the claim that there was no violence against Christians in Syria before the civil war there is obvious bs–this has been chronicled at Jihad Watch itself.

whereby the moral absolute gets set aside….

“And they overcame him (satan) because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.”
“….and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also….”
This is still future but it wont be long now.

UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: “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.”
Terrorism works.
By now, everyone knows islam is nothing more than a terror gang and all muslims are at least potential terrorists.
When confronted by fear, people can respond in two ways:
1.) Honestly – they admit they’re afraid, and so then try to do something about solving the problem; (Conservatives;)
2.) Dishonestly – they pretend to be martyrs, but remain masochists, advising everyone else to Submit, too. (Liberals).
Guess which category most politicians (self-promoting salesmen and liars) fall into?
The solution?
Whenever any organism is attacked, it counter-attacks. (Organisms which submit to diseases like islam, die off).
Cells which have already been successfully co-opted by the disease are also destroyed by the white blood cells.
No problem was ever solved by ignoring it, yet the criminally negligent greed-creed motto of those in charge always seems to be the exact opposite, that: “There’s No Money In Solutions! Whee!” (and its corollary: “It’s not broken, so let’s fix it!”)
The real reason the islamic threat is being ignored in public, is this not-so-nascent “Globalization” movement, which is clearly treason to ALL sovereign national people’s governments. It’s a plutocratic kleptocracy to be run by all those corporazis who never want to pay any taxes to anyone, anywhere, ever; by the global communazi labour guys who want free movement and the same lowest common denominator wages for their 3rd-world slaves, and of course by the moslems who want their one-world islamic ummah, to be run by their theocratic caliphate government. It’s a triple-threat. Against all these evil forces, we have only the Truth … while only they currently control both the fear and the greed.
As long as ONLY the enemy controls both the behavioural Conditioning binaries of the stick (fear of personally having one’s own family firebombed or beheaded by the Jihad) and the carrot (greed for oil-money bribes), those sales-puppets we laughingly call “our leaders” and their complicit media presstitute pets will insist on maintaining their preposterously backwards, victim-blaming “narrative” that only we are to blame for the Qur’an’s 1,400 years of hate, so that we should all “Submit and learn how to be better victims!”
As long as we remain the lesser threat to them, “our leaders” will continue to ignore islam.
Islam can be easily studied and known in its entirety, by anyone. It will never change!
So, when Western people won’t educate them *selves* about islam because our culture defers all thinking to those “authorities” we PAY to do our thinking and research for us, while they secretly know full-well that the salesmen in charge will always sell us all out, they ARE CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT INFANTILE DELINQUENT TRAITORS TO RATIONALITY AND CIVILIZATION!
It should never be allowed by backwards people to be considered “illegal” to accuse these criminals (muslims) of their crimes, allegedly because the painful truth might offend them or hurt their feelings, and so “make” them commit even more crimes!
No problem was ever solved by ignoring it, and nobody is doing even these muslims any favours, by indulging their historic lies that islam is a “religion” (at all, much less one “of peace”) or a “race” (much less one of poor oppressed “People Of Colour”)!
Pretending there is NOT a Muslim problem but only a white racist problem accepting diversity, is criminally negligent TREASON.
Keeping the muzzie masses ignorant of their own hate-crime death-threat canon seems to be the self-imposed mission of most of the enemedia, government and of course their corporazi owners these days – it’s most likely why they keep lying about islam being a “great religion of peace” all the time! That, and their inherent racism, of course!
We wouldn’t want any of these poor oppressed mentally-inferior swarthy holy-mobster criminals to suffer any “blowback” retaliation (i.e: JUSTICE) for their crimes, now, would we?
😉
To advocate for suicidal masochism as the highest moral virtue, while also claiming the only real crime is to hurt the feelings of and offend criminals by accusing them of their crimes, outs any and all progressive liberal apologists for islam as massively treasonous criminals themselves!
Since islam is nothing more or less than the world’s oldest and largest ongoing extortion-racket CRIME syndicate, where the only “religious” part in it is where its holy mobster crime-gang members slander “god” as their #1 alibi to excuse their own criminal desires and actions where they claim:
“God told us to commit these crimes!”
(CAPISCE?)!
… it’s obvious that our Western governments, with our legally-mandated respect for universal equality of individual, not group or gang, human rights, do indeed have both the right and the responsibility to ban islam from our shores.
But hadn’t you heard?! Being angry at (“hateful” towards) criminals is now the most vile sin, while pitying (“tolerating”) them all as “fellow victims,” is to be deemed the highest moral virtue, these days!
So much so, that the only advice we hear from “our” hypocrite governments, their pet media, and the corporazi globalist banksters who own them all, seems to invariably be:
“Anyone who doesn’t automatically pity all criminals as fellow victims should be hated!”
Which is why hurting the feelings of criminals by accusing them of their crimes, is now a “hateful” crime itself!
And, even if muslims “win” they will only “win” a life of harsh depravity for their descendants.
After all, who is most likely to be “married” to, and raped by, pedophiles? Muslim kids!
(Which will be OUR kids, too, if we let the “elite” enslave us)!
