Whereas the world floods the streets for Gaza, only a few hills away—within the shadow of Israel—Syrian Christians, Druze, and Shi’a Muslims are being slaughtered. Church buildings are bombed. Villages are burned. Complete households are erased.
But no hashtag pattern. No embassies stay unscathed amid world outrage surges.
Why?
As a result of these victims don’t match the narrative. As a result of when Islamist militants are oppressors, the world turns its face away.
However look nearer. You’ll see it: smoke rising from mountain villages. Sacred altars decreased to ash. Historical chants had been silenced by gunfire. The land that after echoed with prayers of a thousand faiths now trembles beneath the boots of non secular fascism.
This isn’t breaking information. That is breaking souls.
The Druze: A Individuals of the Mountain, Hunted As soon as Extra
I need to inform you about Sweida. Not the warfare room model. The human one.
In Sweida, the Druze—these cussed mountain souls who’ve guarded their identification for over a thousand years—are burying their useless once more. And once more. They had been impartial within the Syrian warfare. That neutrality? Now painted as defiance by each Islamist militias and a damaged state.
It started once more this spring. April 2025. A rumor. A pretend audio clip, supposedly mocking the Prophet of Islam. It unfold like wildfire, and hearth was precisely what adopted. Professional-government safety forces, joined by radical Sunni militias, stormed the Druze cities of Jaramana and Sahnaya. Doorways kicked in. Elders crushed. Moustaches—the sacred image of Druze delight—shaved off at gunpoint.
Greater than 100 folks had been slaughtered. Villages burned. And the message was clear: you’ll submit, or you’ll endure.
However the Druze usually are not wired for submission.
Christians: Ashes on the Altar
And what in regards to the Christians? Those who nonetheless converse the language of Christ in whispers. Who constructed monasteries the place wolves as soon as howled? They, too, are actually working.
In July, a Melkite church in Al-Sura was burned to the bottom. 38 properties belonging to Christian households had been torched. Bombings hit church buildings in Damascus. A suicide bomber walked right into a Sunday liturgy and turned sacred chants into screams.
After which got here the post-Assad purge.
In June 2025, simply months after Bashar al-Assad fell, jihadist militias affiliated with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and al-Fatah Brigade stormed Christian quarters in Homs and Aleppo. Households who had survived ten years of warfare had been dragged out and executed. The pinnacle priest of St. Ephraim’s Cathedral in Aleppo was crucified on the church gates.
A whole bunch of Christian households vanished in a single day—both kidnapped, killed, or compelled to flee with nothing however their sacraments.
Shi’a Muslims: Betrayed and Butchered
You don’t should agree with somebody’s beliefs to defend their proper to exist.
After Assad’s fall, Syria’s Shi’a minority—lengthy tied to the ruling regime by way of Iran-backed militias—had been declared “traitors” by Islamist rebels and international jihadi networks. Within the outskirts of Hama and Idlib, dozens of Shi’a villages had been overrun. The lads had been separated from their households. Some had been beheaded. Some had been shot. Some had been buried alive.
In June 2025 alone, over 2,000 Shi’a civilians are estimated to have been killed in focused revenge campaigns—many recorded and shared as “victory footage” by Sunni extremists.
These weren’t warfare crimes. These had been sectarian cleansings.
Fatalities & Displacement in Syria:
Since early 2025, over 2,300 civilians—largely Christians, Druze, Shi’a Muslims, and Alawites—have been killed throughout Syria in focused sectarian violence following the autumn of Bashar al-Assad. The numbers are chilling: in Sweida alone, over 530 lives have been misplaced between April and July, together with total households massacred of their properties or executed within the streets by Islamist militias and pro-government forces.
The Mar Elias Church bombing in Damascus left greater than 30 Christian worshippers useless, and in northern areas like Homs and Aleppo, monks have been crucified and church buildings torched by jihadist factions who crammed the vacuum left by Assad. In the meantime, a human tide of over 87,000 folks has been forcibly displaced from the Sweida area, fleeing scorched villages and aerial bombardments, whereas greater than 800,000 Syrians stay internally displaced throughout the nation. Shi’a and Alawite communities, labeled “traitors” by Sunni militants, have confronted mass killings and compelled deportations, with 40,000 Alawites already pushed towards Lebanon.
These aren’t mere statistics—they’re shattered properties, gutted sanctuaries, and bleeding altars. And but, outdoors the bloodstained borders of Syria, the world stays deafeningly silent.
Who’s Behind the Curtain?
This isn’t random. It’s a bloody orchestration.
The Islamist Jihadis
HTS, ISIS remnants, and different radical Sunni teams have rebranded beneath “liberation” banners. However their playbook hasn’t modified: Convert, flee, or die.
They declared the post-Assad Syria an Islamic emirate. They usually meant it. Church buildings closed. Druze shrines demolished. Shi’a mosques desecrated.
The Transitional Authorities
Led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former HTS ideologue, the so-called “transitional unity” authorities turned a blind eye. Or worse, enabled the genocide. Armed factions loyal to his bloc performed raids in Sweida, allowed mass executions in Aleppo, and watched as Bedouin warlords slaughtered Christian shepherds in Hauran.
Bedouin & Overseas-Backed Militias
Syria’s south changed into a slaughter zone—Druze vs. Sunni. Christian vs. radical. Tribal revenge layered over spiritual bigotry. With international weapons and no accountability, militias are treating villages like conquest zones.
What Syrians Are Saying
“We’re being erased. Quietly. And the world is watching.”
— Father Youhanna Elias, survivor from Homs
“The autumn of Assad didn’t deliver freedom. It introduced the sword.”
— Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, Druze religious chief
“Each hour we delay talking up, a baby is orphaned. A mom is raped. A church burns.”
— Me. Proper now.
This Isn’t a Battle. It’s a Genocide.
The autumn of Assad was purported to open a brand new chapter for Syria. As an alternative, it unchained the monsters.
Syria moved from dictatorship to mob rule—a theocratic purge disguised as revolution. The Islamist teams, lengthy festering within the shadows, stepped into the daylight. They usually introduced hell with them.
Christians, Shi’a, Druze… they’re not minorities anymore. They’re targets.
This isn’t about politics anymore. That is about preserving humanity.
They are saying Syria is the graveyard of civilizations.
However I say: so long as the Druze sing their historic chants, and Christians gentle candles in cracked stone chapels, and Shi’a moms rock their youngsters with trembling lullabies, religion nonetheless breathes, even beneath ash.
