First At Antioch

A Greek Orthodox is the new Syrian Minister of Defence.

Of course.

On one side, Christian-majority provinces, Christian festivals as public holidays, and support for a Lebanese coalition which, though Sunni-headed (as the Prime Minister of Lebanon has to be Sunni), includes Armenians and Maronites (the President of Lebanon has to be Maronite).

On the other side, the Saudi-backed "demonstrators".

  1. I fear for the Christians and other minorities of Syria if Assad falls. Look at what is now happening to the black Africans in the new, "free" Libya.
