As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate Christmas, a hell has been unleashed inside Syria with the seizure of the country by the re-named \u201cal-Qaeda in Syria\u201d now called\u00a0Hay\u2019at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Its leader is a former deputy commander of ISIS, Abu Mohammed al-Julani.<\/p>\n
While neocons and the mainstream media\u00a0in the US and Europe celebrate the overthrow of the Assad government \u2013 a priority since the Obama Administration \u2013 as with previous US \u201cliberations\u201d in Libya and Iraq the outcome is proving to be anything but liberating. Christian churches are\u00a0being ransacked<\/a>\u00a0and believers abused.<\/p>\n Sharia law\u00a0has been announced<\/a>\u00a0by the new justice minister,\u00a0Shadi Alwaisi.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Public executions of those who oppose the rule of al-Julani \u2013 who still has a\u00a0$10 million bounty on his head<\/a>\u00a0from the US State Department even as he is funded by the CIA \u2013 have begun across the country. (Extremely graphic link\u00a0here<\/a>).<\/p>\n Just today, Christian Churches in Syria were warned<\/a> not to hold Christmas services, not to hold Christmas parades, and not to even display the image of St. Nicholas! This is what the mainstream media told us was the new \u201cinclusive\u201d government in Syria.<\/p>\n This is why the Ron Paul Institute works to OPPOSE US government interventionism in the affairs of others! The neocon interventionist foreign policy creates MILLIONS of victims worldwide.<\/p>\n Our\u00a0year-end fundraiser<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is in full swing and a generous donor has offered to match your\u00a0tax-deductible contribution<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to the Ron Paul Institute up\u00a0until December, 27th<\/strong>!
