Syrian Christian Village Besieged By Jihadists
The Syrian town of Maaloula, once a common pilgrimage site for Christians from around the world has in recent days witnessed violent clashes between armed Islamist opposition groups and the Syrian army. Militants took control of large segments of this historical town. Nuns serving at a convent in the mountain town have reported that many have come there for refugee from the fighting.

“Do you believe in God?” They said Yes
“When I told them I was a Christian, they asked me to join a group of people already ordered to lie down by the side of the road,” said witness Emmanuel Sunday in an interview with Morning Star News. It was when the gunmen started shooting and killing the Christians grouped together that Emmanuel ran into a nearby maize farm. He escaped unhurt. The other Christians were not so lucky.
On the roadside near Nigeria's central city of Jos, 5 Christians were forced off of a minibus and executed after declaring their faith to their captors. Witnesses suspect the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram to be behind the ambush. Since 2009, Boko Haram is thought to be responsible for over 3,000 deaths, many victims being targeted because of their Christian faith.

Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said that he opposes military intervention in Syria.
“After nearly two years, 100,000 people killed, a rebel force comprised of Al Qaeda and a Syrian regime in a much stronger position, a military strike would no longer be in our national security interest."
“I think there’s a historic event going on here and if this vote is won, that is defeat [of] the request to have more military approach to Syria, I think it will be historic because it would be a grand coalition of the Libertarian Republicans and the Democratic Progressives,” Ron Paul said.

Al-Qaeda Rebels Attack Two Syrian Churches To Cries Of “Allahu Akbar!” During Assault On Christian Village...McRINO’s “freedom fighters.”
More information on yesterday’s al-Qaeda led attack on the Christian village of Maaloula near Damascus, Syria. Not only did they firebomb the village, and threaten to slaughter all Christians once the U.S. helps “liberate” Syria, but they also fired missiles and mortars at two ancient churches, St. Alias Church and St. Grace Church, while spraying the entrances of the churches with bullets.
Around eight defenders of the village were killed by the al-Qaeda led jihadis, who in the video below can be heard shouting “Allahu Akbar,” Islam’s ancient war cry. Nonetheless, John McCain, who wants the U.S. to aid al-Qaeda in Syria, absurdly insists that shouting “Allahu Akbar” is equivalent to a Christian saying “Thank God,” and that the rebels in Syria are “moderates and I guarantee you they are moderates.”
