Syrian Christians Reportedly Being Pressured To Join Anti-Assad Demonstrations
The group International Christian Concern says that Christians in Syria are being pressured to join the protests against President Bashir Assad, or else leave the country. A report carried by Christian Today on May 5 says that Syrian Christians have not participated in the anti-Assad protests so far because they fear a takeover by Muslim Salafis who will attempt to drive Christians out of the country.
