Christians in Syria are facing deadly violence and growing fear after a recent suicide bombing killed 24 worshippers in Damascus. This attack signals a dangerous new wave of persecution under Syria’s radical Islamic regime. Brave Syrian Christians now wonder if anyone will protect them from extinction.
Radical Islamic terrorists targeted innocent Christians during Sunday prayers in a cowardly attack. This massacre shows the brutal reality of life under Syria’s new leaders. The al-Qaeda-linked regime in Damascus has broken its promises to protect religious minorities.
Syria’s interim president, terrorist leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, imposed harsh Islamic rule in March 2025. His regime replaced the Assad government that at least gave Christians some stability. Now Christians face church attacks, forced Islamic dress codes, and home confiscations.
Persecution has exploded since radical groups took power. Militants ransack churches, desecrate cemeteries, and threaten Christian families daily. Women are being forced to cover themselves under strict Islamic rules. Christian homes are being stolen by radical Islamists.
Syrian Christians have suffered oppression for centuries since Muslim conquests began in the 600s. They endured high taxes and second-class status just to keep their faith. Despite centuries of violence, these brave believers held onto Christianity.
The Christian population has collapsed from 1.5 million to about 500,000 since 2011. Many were murdered, raped, or tortured while others fled the genocide. The world ignored this slow-motion destruction of ancient Christian communities.
Western leaders stay silent while Christians face genocide. Global inaction tells terrorists they can keep slaughtering innocent worshippers. If this pattern continues, Assyrian Christians will disappear completely from their homeland.
Syrian Christians urgently need their own defense forces since no one else protects them. The world must stop ignoring this crisis before every last Christian is dead or driven out. We must defend these persecuted believers now.
