Who’s this Free Press you’re speaking of ? The ones over here who won’t even mention the stripping away of our Constitutional liberties, cover a massive Right to Life march in the capitol, or report on the ethnicity of those involved in a violent flash mob attack.
The same one that doesn’t focus on the ethnicity of non-minority suspects apprehended for mass murder…Seriously, is there a law against conservatives or Christians or non-Americans becoming journalists? Because these allegations of media bias strike me as really, really tiresome.
 
Talking to people I know from Syria. 😉
Anecdotal evidence - splendid! That must be more dependable than media reports, so we should completely ignore the media ban and believe what your friends tell you…:rolleyes:
 
An entire delegation of clergy from the Antiochian Orthodox Church in North America travelled to Syria a months ago. They came back with a completely different story but nobody wanted to hear them. The Catholics on the ground say the same thing.
It is you who are paranoid, misinformed, and a bit rude also. I am sorry that you are in denial. It is not good to believe everything you read. 😉
Wow, a whole month ago? How long has the unrest in Syria lasted? Guess it didn’t become a priority when Orthodox lives were not in danger? Now, that Christian lives are in danger, instead of asking where they were when children were being tortured, allegedly by the authorities, we are being asked to side with them?! Sorry, as a Christian my concern is with all life, most particularly that of the innocent, regardless of their religion.
 
Wow, a whole month ago?
That was a typo. I wrote “a months ago”…but it should have read “a few months ago.”
where they were when children were being tortured, allegedly by the authorities,
Allegedly?

You can be sure that if the terrorists prevail…they will kill all life that does not adhere to Sharia law.
 
Indeed
Those living in Syria are living the terror…I believe them over the media.
That is supposed to be the media’s job - when governments do not obstruct them - bringing the stories of real people’s lives to the world. Without that, all we have is YouTube, Twitter and so-and-so told me that her second cousin told his wife that their grandmother told her neighbor…

And what do you call killing all life that does not adhere to Assad’s law? I’m still waiting to see your definition of terrorist.

Who cares what labels murderous tyrants carry or what their ideology is? Dead is dead, regardless.
 
Dead is dead, regardless.
Yes. And if the so-called “liberation forces” take over in Syria…you will see more bloodshed than you can imagine…and the elimination of the Christian populations…and the destruction of the monasteries and Churches. I pray that your eyes will be opened to the truth.

The media has most people in this country fooled.

It is the sort of image that has become a staple of the Syrian revolution, a video of masked men calling themselves the Free Syrian Army and brandishing AK-47s — with one unsettling difference. In the background hang two flags of Al Qaeda, white Arabic writing on a black field.

One Qaeda operative, a 56-year-old known as Abu Thuha who lives in the Hawija district near Kirkuk in Iraq, spoke to an Iraqi reporter for The New York Times on Tuesday. “We have experience now fighting the Americans, and more experience now with the Syrian revolution,” he said. “Our big hope is to form a Syrian-Iraqi Islamic state for all Muslims, and then announce our war against Iran and Israel, and free Palestine.”

What gave rise to the ‘liberation forces’? Did they simply get up one fine morning and decide to take aim at the most benevolent, kindly and humanitarian leader in the Middle East, while taking aim at Christians and Churches as a side-pursuit?

My eyes are open. They are reading what you’re saying. And they see no sense in any of it.

Forget the media. Tell me the story of how this conflict began and why we’re only hearing about dangers to Christians in the last month or two? Were there no Christians in Syria when demonstrators were being gunned down? When stories were coming out of children being tortured? Or even more recently, when the military was shelling civilians? Did Christians just get parachuted into Syria in the last couple months?

Oh, so if you don’t don Al Qaeda garb and declare a holy war you can’t be called a terrorist? How convenient for the slimy, suit wearing, highly refined and sinfully rich despots who sit in places of power…
