Terror struck Christians in Syria as ISIS claimed more innocent lives. A suicide bomber attacked a Greek Orthodox church near Damascus, killing at least 22 worshipers and wounding over 50 others. This evil act targeted peaceful people praying in their holy place. The Islamic State group shows its true nature by murdering civilians during a church service.
The attacker stormed Mar Elias Church in Dweil’a while Sunday prayers were happening. He first shot innocent people inside the sacred building. Then he detonated his explosive vest among the crowd. This brutal tactic caused maximum carnage against helpless families.
Children were among those murdered in this savage attack. Over 50 survivors suffered terrible injuries from the blast. These Christian families were practicing their faith when terror struck. Their only crime was gathering to worship God in peace.
Syrian officials correctly named ISIS as the cowards behind this massacre. The terrorists want to destroy Syria’s fragile stability. They hate religious freedom and peaceful coexistence. This is pure evil targeting innocent civilians.
This attack happened while the Middle East faces growing danger. Iran’s nuclear ambitions threaten the whole region. Only strong action can stop these terrorists and their supporters. Weakness invites more bloodshed.
Radical Islamic terrorism remains a grave threat worldwide. These killers target Christians and other religious minorities. They must be crushed without mercy. America must lead the fight against this global menace.
Security failures allowed this tragedy to happen. Places of worship must be strongly protected. Governments must prioritize citizen safety over politics. No more excuses for failing to shield the innocent.
We stand with Syria’s brave Christians against terror. These faithful people deserve our prayers and support. Let us honor the victims by defeating terrorism completely. Good must triumph over evil.
