Incidents of anti-Christian violence appear to increase as war intensifies
Damascus, November 30 (Open Doors News) — Wednesday 28th’s twin deadly car bombs in the Christian and Druze suburb of Jaramana in the Syrian capital Damascus appeared to target two communities which so far have not joined the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
State media said “terrorists” were behind the blasts, which killed at least 38 and injured at least 83; the government says it is protecting these two minorities from “terrorist extremists”. The location was not near any strategic targets such as military or government buildings. However, the area is known for its loyalty to President Assad’s government, making it a target for armed opposition groups. No group has yet claimed responsibility.
These are not the first attacks in Jaramana to have been blamed on those seeking to overthrow the government. But in the past, the armed opposition has denied any involvement and repeatedly said it is targeting Mr Assad’s forces and not minority groups.
Have a look at who “sponsors” or is “on the side” of those who want to overthrow the government and you know who the terrorists are.
