Aleppo's Bishops to Pope: Syria is Desparate

The six Catholic bishops of Aleppo have called for ending the bloody conflict in Syria in an urgent message to Pope Benedict XVI.

Aleppo / Beirut (kath.net / KNA) Six Catholic bishops of Aleppo have called for ending the bloody conflict in Syria. In a message to Pope Benedict XVI. on the 24th of September, who is currently on his travel abroad in Lebanon, they ask the head of the church to demand from the international community a peaceful solution for Syria. The current conflict is destroying the country and bringing poverty and despair to the people.

For more than two months, the city is located in the center of the fighting between the Syrian army and armed opposition groups, say the Catholic bishops of Aleppo. In this situation, we have refrained from participating in the Pope's Lebanon-visit and to remain at the side of the Syrian believers. Benedict XVI. should advocate an end to the fighting on Syrian soil and encourage the parties in a "serious and effective dialogue for national reconciliation" to the heads of state and international organizations. The appeal was signed by a Greek Catholic, Syrian Catholic, Armenian Catholic, Maronite, Chaldean and the Latin bishop of Aleppo. (C) 2012 Subject Catholic News Agency KNA GmbH.

The Murdered Syrian Defense Minister Was Greek Orthodox

The Syrian Christians will be in serious danger if the Sunni terrorists continue. Under Assad, they are safe.

(kreuz.net) The murdered Syrian Minister of Defense, Daud Radscha (65) was Greek Orthodox.

This was reported by a free journalist Andrea Ricci today on a German website independent of the media bosses, 'Compact Magazins'.

In May Radscha had survived a poisoning by the "Free Syrian Army".

This group is a band of Sunni terrorists, who have been armed by the US-Israeli power block.

Nest of Terrorists Dug Up

Ricci informed 'Compact Magazin' this morning by telephone.

He reported that the Syrian government troops have freed an outlying area of Damascus from terrorist incursions.

This was still proceeding, up to the city center and even penetrating to the hotel where Ricci was held up.

During the night, the situation cooled down.

The West is Seized by Fear and Panic

The detonations on the edge of the city continue.

There, the helicopters of the government were in action.

Ricci maintains that the terrorists never had even one single city district under control.

The surprise operations were undertaken much more to spread fear and panic.

The Western Media Bosses Disinform

Presently the situation is peaceful.

After the havoc wreaking terror attack against members of government, President Baschar al-Assad immediately named a capable successor and appeared on television.

Suggestions that he had sent his family out of the country has been demonstrated as Western disinformation.

Christians in serious danger

In his Hotel Ricci has noticed a "grim resolution": "We will defeat the terrorists!"

As to the situation, Ricci explained:

"The Christians here will be in serious danger if the Sunni terrorists continue. Under Assad, they are safe."

Unsuccessful Strategy

The staunchness of Peking and Moscow in the UN Security Council has -- according to Ricci -- has contributed to the calming of the situation:

"Apparently the terror of the last days has, above all, attempted to shake the position of the Russians and the Chinese."

Ricci commented: "That is unsuccessful".

Cardinalis Turkson de bello in Syria inchoando monuit

Moderatorum civitatis, moderatorum quoque Syriae, maxime est proprium populum protegere.

Islamists Take Over Syrian Town -- Drive Out All Christians

Edit: thank you Obama, Hillary and Western press for allowing this to happen!

(Damaskus) Islamists have taken the village of Qastal al-Burg in the Syrian province of Hama and driven all Christians from the area. This was reported by the Arabic language internet site UPI. The Jihadis attacked the village and forced ten families living there in the place to leave the vicinity. The Christians were not once given the opportunity to retrieve their property to take with them. The churches of the area were desecrated and used as command centers by the Islamists.
