Syrian Christians worry about life after Bashar Assad
They fear civil war and revenge attacks if President Bashar Assad falls, an anxiety fed by the sectarian violence seen in Egypt and Iraq.
Ignatius IV, patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church, described Syria as an oasis of religious tolerance where Christians can worship freely, build sanctuaries and run schools, activities that are restricted by varying degrees in a number of Middle Eastern countries.
Christian clerics are frequently shown on television taking part in joint prayer services with their Muslim counterparts. The defense minister is a Christian, as are other senior members of the government and security forces.
"Wherever you go, you find Christians and Muslims," said the patriarch, who has a photograph of himself with Assad displayed on his office wall. "There is no distinction."

German Intelligence: "al-Qaeda" All Over Syria
2012-07-25
By John Rosenthal
German intelligence estimates that "around 90" terror attacks that "can be attributed to organizations that are close to al-Qaeda or jihadist groups" were carried out in Syria between the end of December and the beginning of July, as reported by the German daily Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). This was revealed by the German government in a response to a parliamentary question.

Syria is 74% Sunni
US Treasury Confirms that Al Qaeda Runs Syrian "Rebellion"
by Tony Cartalucci
Global Research, July 27, 2012
US fails to sell militants in Syria as "freedom fighters," tells truth for pretext to liquidate monsters of their own creation.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in its article, "Al Qaeda's War for Syria," cited officials from the US Treasury Department stating, "Al Qaeda in Syria (often operating as the "Al Nusra Front for the People of the Levant") is using traffickers—some ideologically aligned, some motivated by money—to secure routes through Turkey and Iraq for foreign fighters, most of whom are from the Middle East and North Africa. A growing number of donors from the Persian Gulf and Levant appear to be sending financial support."
This undercuts the West's year and a half-long narrative that Syria's violence was the result of a so-called "uprising" by the people of Syria. While the WJS attempts to downplay this admission by claiming, "al Qaeda makes up a small part of the resistance movement," it concedes that, "its strength appears to be rising." In reality, it was Al Qaeda militants from the very beginning, and the only aspect of the conflict "rising" is public awareness of this fact.
Since 2007, US Aided and Abetted Al Qaeda Affiliates Against Syria
A Foreign Invasion, not a Rebellion
The WSJ's article begins with the sentence, "the United States and its allies should consider opening a second front in the Syrian war. In addition to helping end Bashar Assad's rule, there is a growing need to conduct a covert campaign against al Qaeda and other extremist groups gaining a presence in the country."

We need to be careful in this regard....it is widely acknowledged that Al-Qaeda in Iraq and other such groups that we would not support are also supporting the opposition and we should be wary of essentially giving weapons, etc and only end up in their hands -- or that provide a "victory", which then gets hijacked by these groups.
Do you even see the contradiction in your argument? You cannot excuse "muslim terrorism" simply because there is "christian terrorism". Both are equally repugnant and should be roundly condemned. It does no one any good to deflect the conversation of "muslim terrorism" to "christian terrorism" because it ignores the whole issue.

the problem with your statement is that I don't excuse Muslim terrorism...I simply don't equate they are terrorist because they are Muslim...I equate they are terrorist who happen to also be Muslim..the main drivers of the terrorist attacks are Political...wrapped in Religion...rather then Religion wrapped in Politics.

I would not suggest doing it blindly...But we already know Iran has used Syria as a ground for attacks on Israel and across the middle east including US Military targets...I would rather the US start being viewed as the one who helped the people knock down dictators...rather then the ones who prop them up. Also I do so with the understanding that we may not like the first governments picked in Islamic nations with a real right to vote...but the more elections they have...and the more there leaders need to own up to there own people and not just cast blame on the US if they want to keep there job...the more the people can focus on there own leaders and making them fix there problems...not be force to have no say in there own and only able to blame the west...( protests to blame the west are allowed, to protest there own goverment...your arrested or killed)
