WHERE ARE CHRISTIAN LEADERS? CRUSHING BASHAR ASSAD WILL LEAD TO
EXTERMINATION OF SYRIAN CHRISTIANS

ASSAD: A MODERN CYRUS THE GREAT FOR CHRISTIANS

* by Jan Stadler ( http://faithandheritage.com/author/jan-stadler/ )
* August 2, 2013

Two months ago, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad declared that the
Syrian army scored “major victories” against the Free Syrian Army
(FSA) and that his forces have “regained momentum” in the now
three-year-long civil war.

And thank God he has, for President Assad is the best friend of the
Christian church in Syria.
Ron Paul correctly asserted that Obama’s “deception campaign”
looks a lot like Bush’s pre-Iraq war propaganda, and America’s
foreign policy will, once again, result in the destruction of native
Christian populations. America’s failed intervention in Iraq has
resulted in the near-extermination of Iraqi Christians and the Iraqi
church at the hands of many of the same groups that the Americans
supported upon their initial invasion and in the post-Saddam
government. The events currently transpiring in Syria will be an exact
duplicate of the slaughter in Iraq but on a much larger scale, now
that we are dealing with an even bloodier war and a larger Christian
community. Sadly, though, despite America’s overwhelming Christian
population, many do not properly care about the war in Syria. A new
Gallup poll shows that 68% of Americans want the United States to not
“use military action” in Syria. The lack of support for
intervention is good, but a bigger problem is what American Christians
believe about this conflict.

Regardless of what the general American population believes or cares,
Christians should very much be concerned about these occurrences in
Syria, as the future of Syrian Christianity and the Syrian Church is
at stake. Though Syria is an overwhelmingly Islamic nation,
Christianity’s existence nonetheless predates Islam’s arrival, and
Syria could easily be described as a “lost” Christian country that
all Christians have an interest in reclaiming one day. The American
media would have you believe that the Syrian population is crying out
for American arms shipments to the so-called Free Syrian Army so that
Syria can have universal suffrage, on-demand abortion, and access to
Lady Gaga music videos with the removal of an evil, anti-democratic
leader. The reality is that the West is, through the disposal of a
rational, tempered leader, seeking to install an ardent jihadist
regime which intends to exterminate Christianity from one of its
ancient heartlands.

As the Syrian civil war rages on and the American propaganda machine
continues to beat the war drum in support of the al-Qaeda-affiliated
FSA networks, it becomes more and more necessary for American
Christians to withdraw their support for whatever entity pretends to
support “democracy” and to pay homage to one of the greatest
allies and defenders of our Holy Faith in the region, President Assad.
Contrary to the America media’s demonization of many Middle Eastern
dictators as sadistic, genocidal psychopaths with rape rooms for
entertainment, there exists behind the war hawk veneer a nobler story
than is being presented.

The global policy of America and NATO since the collapse of the Soviet
Union in 1991 has been to “wrap up” the remaining states that are
independent of the New World Order’s financial and banking matrix.
Every war since the USSR’s collapse has been to enforce the imperial
dreams of the American-dominated West, which is the global
harmonization of markets via the Federal Reserve, the European Central
Bank (ECB), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). During the Cold
War, the Soviet Union with her satellites was the bulwark against the
global aspirations of the banker-dominated West. Now with the USSR
gone, her remaining satellites and allies are left as leaves in the
wind to blow according to the new tide or be punished with an America
gift of democracy. Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milošević, Muammar
Gaddafi, and Hosni Mubarak represented the last remnant of independent
powers throughout the world. Since then, all that survives are Kim
Jong-un, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Bashar al-Assad, with anti-NWO
Russia and China as the last major power players to offer support.
Together, this list of leaders and their respective countries form the
last bulwark against the New York/London/Brussels axis.

Now, obviously, the above list is composed of ruthless and, in many
cases, obscene men. Yet the truth remains that Assad is the only
remaining leader of any dignity with a genuine plan for the long-term
betterment of his nation and people – and indirectly, of the
Christian church. Since NATO eliminated Hussein and Gaddafi for
refusing to comply with the dollar standard, and since Mubarak refused
to surrender to the Western-backed Muslim Brotherhood, one of the
greatest victims has been the Christian church. Copts, Assyrians,
Eastern Catholics, Orthodox, Nestorians, and even Protestants have all
come to suffer to the point of extermination. Thanks to NATO’s
intervention in the region, the West has unleashed the Islamic bulldog
to run wild in the region, massacring Christians and working the
establishment of a caliphate from Casablanca to Manila. Now
Christianity has been brought to the point of “disappearing” from
the Middle East, thanks to the secularist leadership of the West.
However, because of President Assad’s stubborn resistance in Syria,
with the backing of Russia, China, and Iran, the New World Order’s
plans are being foiled. Regardless of the faux Christian mythology
peddled by the mainstream media – namely, that Jesus would support
dropping white phosphorus all over Damascus for “freedom” –
Christians must now begin to direct their prayers and support towards
a leader who has been beneficial to the Holy Church in a region where
Islam runs rampant and wild against all forms of the true faith.

Before anybody rushes to close the article for fear that they might be
called to support the next Hitler, consider the following reasons why
the American church should offer support for President Assad.
Firstly, the Christians of Syria support him. Since the outbreak of
the war, Christians have generally remained neutral in what was
originally viewed as a Shia-Sunni civil war, but it has now evolved
into a much larger conflict enveloping the Christian church. Syrian
Christians initially thought they could avoid the conflict until FSA
soldiers started taking control of Christian areas once occupied by
Assad’s forces, and the process of ethnic and religious cleansing
commenced. Whereas Assad’s forces would have killed any Muslim who
would have bombed a church, the FSA and its allies immediately
implemented their Islamist “purification” agenda aimed at
exterminating Christians. Hundreds of Christians have already been
killed, thousands more displaced, and according to Christian Freedom
International, “because of the violence, a shortage of basic
supplies such as gas, electricity, and many supermarket products has
contributed even further” to the suffering of the Christian
population.[1.

(

)] Since all of this has come to fruition, Christians have begun to
join Assad’s army, care for the Syrian military’s wounded, and
even formed independent militias to fight the FSA and keep their
communities safe, such as the Lijan militias.

Contrary to these horrors being inflicted upon Christians by the FSA,
President Assad’s rule over the Christian community of Syria has
greatly resembled Cyrus the Great. In the book of Ezra, King Cyrus the
Great of Persia was used by God to protect persecuted Hebrews,
allowing them to return to the Holy Land and rebuild their temple.
Assad has acted in a similar manner in allowing Christians to be safe
and secure in an Islam-dominated country. Assad’s grace towards the
Christian church has not been limited to “separate but equal”
style policies, but also extends to the inner circles of his
government, where he has included many Christians in cabinet
positions. Under Assad, Christians were allowed to govern themselves
and even be reverenced as a part of Syria’s ancient heritage. The
only restriction that President Assad placed upon Christians was that
they not overtly convert Muslims or accept Muslim converts as a means
to ensure stability. He furthermore allowed Christians to have their
own courts for church-related issues, such as marriage and
inheritance, and defended them against Islamist persecution and
terror. Not bad, given the Church’s 2000-year history of continued
persecution. Compared to secular leaders’ treatment of Christians in
the West, Assad is far more tolerant and gracious to his Christian
subjects than the secular-dominated United States, Canada, and Europe
are to their Christian citizens. Though Assad is not the ideal
Christian autocrat, he is the best thing Christians have seen in the
region since the Byzantine Empire, the Crusader states, or European
colonialism.

Secondly, Assad is not a throwback Bedouin. Unlike many of the
tribal-like leaders of other Middle Eastern nations, who take pride in
clitoridectomies and pedophilia, Assad is a Western-educated
intellectual who takes pride in modernizing without being a modernist.
Before Assad rose to power, he proved himself by graduating from the
school of medicine at the University of Damascus in 1988 and
volunteered to serve his country as a medical doctor in the army.
Later, he went to complete his postgraduate studies in the United
Kingdom, studying ophthalmology at the Western Eye Hospital in London.
Upon returning to Syria and the death of his elder brother, Assad
studied at the Syrian military academy before he assumed the
presidency of Syria.

This is not the background of a radical ideologue, wrapped up in a
fundamentalist understanding of the Koran. Assad’s reign has been
one of ruthless oppression, but against whom? Certainly not the
general population or the Christians who have flourished under his
rule; rather, he oppressed the Islamist sects, such as the Muslim
Brotherhood, that sought to displace him and establish an Islamic
caliphate. Assad’s main objective was the retaining of power for his
Arab nationalist Ba’ath Party, and he was ready to crush any
opposition in the process. It is therefore plausible to assume that if
Christians were a threat to his power, he would have targeted them as
well, but given that the principles of the Ba’ath Party are not
necessarily a threat to Christianity, and given that Christians are
called to obey lawful government, they have every reason to stand by
Assad and against Islamism.
Understanding Assad’s upbringing and education is essential.
Assad’s ruthlessness as a leader stems not from an Islamist
worldview, but rather from a nationalist, pro-Syrian worldview. He is
without a doubt a Muslim, and he supports much of the Islamic heritage
of Syria, but he is moreover a fervent Syrian nationalist and views
the Christian communities of Syria as a part of that legacy.

The primary focus of Assad’s presidency was and is to create
stability in Syria, which is good for Christians. The minute a
jihadist would aim his AK-47 at a Christian, Alawite, Jew, or fellow
Muslim, Assad’s secret police would have him screaming for an early
martyrdom. This system is completely contrary to the agenda of the
American-backed jihadists who wish to plunge the nation into chaos and
anarchy as a means to produce a new Islamist state that can be
micromanaged from the U.S. State Department. Moreover, Assad has
upheld human rights as best as any Middle Eastern leader could. Given
that not all cultural values and systems are equal and enjoy the same
level of maturity to sustain liberty and rights, some nations are in
desperate need of authoritarian regimes to maintain an order and
stability that they could not otherwise maintain. The Middle East has
not developed as Western Civilization has. The locals are guided by a
Bedouin, Islamic ideology that teaches them to kill and harass their
neighbor rather than love him. Therefore a foreign observer cannot
expect the same results in Syria that one would expect in France,
Germany, or the United States. If any form of stability is to exist,
it will come from the sword of a secular autocrat such as Assad,
Mubarak, or Saddam Hussein, rather than from a ruthless jihadist such
as Mohamed Morsi, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or the FSA. Tyranny and a
police state are not only necessary for these people but morally good.
A people that cannot govern themselves must be controlled by a
powerful state to prevent them from eating the nation like termites.

Assad’s enlightened approach to governorship has helped Syria avoid
the isolation and oppression of Islamist states such as Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan. He has increased the standard of
living for his people, allowing elements of modernity to take root
without compromising the moral fabric of Syrian society. He has also
suppressed Islamism and protected his Christian and Alawite minorities
while acting as a responsible and rational leader in international
relations, especially in regards to relations with Israel. (Despite
this relatively shining record, he still supported state management of
the economy, invoking the everlasting hate and shame of libertarians
worldwide.) These are the characteristics of a rational, predictable
leader who creates stability and peace in his nation. Therefore, what
more could one want in a region as volatile as the Middle East?
Certainly, Israel should welcome this as a positive force, given that
Assad is not of the same irrational, fundamentalist background as the
PLO, Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda or Ahmadinejad in Iran.

An additional note for the American neo-conservatives: Would it not be
quite prudent and strategically viable for American foreign policy in
the “global war on terror” to prevent the rise of a new jihadist
state that will fund terrorism? If so, then how does one justify
Senator John McCain going to Syria and clamoring for more vets to die
in the sands of the Middle East?

But this is also relevant for ethno-nationalist Christians. Christian
nationalists have every reason to be invested in the success of
President Assad, and no other international conflict is more important
to our global success than an Assad victory. Assad’s fight is our
fight. Assad fights the very same agents of the New World Order who
want to turn Syria into a jihadist extravaganza and de-Christianize
our Western civilization with third-world immigrants. Russia, Syria,
China, Iran, and North Korea are simply the external geopolitical
allies to our nationalist-oriented movements in the West. There can be
no condoning of many these despotic regimes’ heinous actions, but as
it is said, politics makes strange bedfellows and Western nationalists
do not have the luxury of choosing friends. By Assad taking a militant
stand against the New World Order and perhaps even winning, it helps
to delegitimize the current ruling establishment and secondly stops
their geopolitical agenda of secularizing the Middle East and the
world. Thirdly, an Assad victory not only encourages European
Christians around the world to resist the system, but could actually
give them a chance to take back the system sooner rather than later.
Because Christianity is a transnational faith, we are as Christians
called to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ
around the world. Therefore we must do what we can to help protect our
fellow faithful against the FSA, and the best hope to accomplish this
is with President Assad retaining power. Assad is, from the
European-Christian perspective, a pro-Christian proxy in the region.
The fight that Christians are up against in the West is the same fight
that Christians are fighting in Damascus, Grozny, and other parts of
the Islamic world. Assad is our ally whether we like it or not, so
Christians might as well rejoice that they are allied to a man who is
willing to go down with his ship, rather than sell out Syria to the
international banking system and secularization, as our leaders did.
The call for God’s holy Church globally is to “pray in the Spirit
on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests [and to]
always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people” (Ephesians
6:18). We must contribute in any small way that Western Christians can
for the safety, security, and future prosperity of our Holy Church in
Syria and for new converts and heroes to arise for Christ amongst the
suffering and destruction wrought by the secular internationalists.
