http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/09/syrian-opposition-says-christians-will-live-as-dhimmis-in-sharia-state.html Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III and other clerics at a funeral for three Christians murdered by Muslims in Maaloula
"The commanders of the Islamist brigades, who have declared more than once that their project was to establish a caliphate, have repeatedly indicated that no one will persecute the Christians or drive them out of their homes because they are 'people of the book' and dhimmis (non-Muslim citizens of the Islamic state), so there are no problems with them, unlike the rest of the communities such as Shiites, Alawites and Druze."
So apparently they want to subjugate the Christians, in accord with the cornerstone of the dhimmi system, Qur'an 9:29, which mandates that Muslims fight against the "People of the Book" until they "pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued" (9:29). And the Shiites, Alawites and Druze will evidently just be massacred.
"Syrian Opposition Fails To Reassure Christians," by Tareq al Abed, translated from As-Safir (Lebanon) in Al-Monitor, September 11 (thanks to AINA):
Syrian Christians as a whole have not thrown their support behind either side in the Syrian war. Nevertheless, Christians in Syria have been subjected to a lot of pressure by both the regime and the opposition, which failed to give them (or any religious or ethnic Syrian component) any assurances or support.
Some armed groups have accused the church of supporting the regime. And many of the opposition’s statements and video clips do not reassure minorities that they will be participants in the new Syria.
The political opposition: failure without borders
In the revolution’s first months, Christians did join the protests in various towns and villages. One day of protests was even called “Good Friday.” In several areas, the churches opened their doors to displaced persons and those affected by the war, as in Daraa, Aleppo and Hama. But when the revolution was militarized and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) was formed, Christians started fearing for their future role in light of the growing Islamist trend in the various armed opposition battalions.
Matters became worse after some oppositionists in the field accused the regime of supporting the Christians, citing celebrations in al-Kassa’a and Bab Touma in Damascus. Christians’ fears were reinforced after bombings, shelling and clashes broke out at churches in Damascus and other sites such as Irbeen in the Damascus countryside, Homs and Deir ez-Zor
^^^^^ That is who Obama supports. Those that enslave Christians!--Tyr
