Islamic Slaughtering of Christians in Middle East Quickly Becoming a Holocaust
The numbers are no longer in the thousands. They are in the five-digit range. Reports indicate that between 7,000 and 17,000 Christians and Alawites have been slaughtered in Syria, with some estimates suggesting the real toll could be even higher. Entire families, including women and children, have been massacred in Syria’s coastal region as part of these sectarian killings. The bloodbath is ongoing, and yet the world watches in silence.
Even as this genocide unfolds, the so-called 'Evangelical thought leaders'—the Twitter theologians, the virtue-signaling clergy, and the latte-sipping seminary elites—have remained conspicuously silent. The same voices that spent months bemoaning Trump’s immigration policies and pearl-clutching over border security suddenly have nothing to say when Islamic terrorists are slaughtering Christians en masse. Where are the calls for justice? Where are the tearful op-eds? Where is the outrage?
Instead, we see a sickening apathy. The same individuals who routinely accuse conservative Christians of ‘Christian nationalism’ and ‘compromising the gospel’ by voting for politicians who oppose abortion and the LGBTQ agenda are utterly indifferent when actual Christians are being exterminated. The Russell Moores, the David Frenches, the Mike Cospers—where are they? If even one Muslim activist in the United States were allegedly ‘misgendered’ at a Starbucks, they would trip over themselves to condemn it. But when thousands of Christians are butchered? Nothing.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration, in a move that defies belief, removed a $10 million bounty on Ahmed al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the very terrorist group responsible for much of this bloodshed. U.S. officials even met with al-Sharaa in Damascus, signaling a disturbing shift in diplomatic engagement with Syria’s Islamist-led government. While Christians are being executed, Biden’s State Department is cozying up to jihadists.
Make no mistake: This is not just a regional conflict. This is a religious purge, an orchestrated campaign to wipe out Christianity from Syria. And yet, Western governments, media outlets, and yes—our own spineless evangelical elites—treat it as little more than a geopolitical footnote.
The Scriptures command us to ‘remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body’ (Hebrews 13:3). But the Evangelical establishment would rather remember the next diversity quota at Christianity Today than the Christians who are being tortured and executed in the streets of Syria.
So here are the obvious questions:
What does it take to wake these people up?
At what point does the slaughter of Christians become something worth talking about for the respectable, bowtie-wearing, NPR-listening theologians?
Will it ever? Or is their silence yet another reminder that their priorities have never truly been about the gospel—but about their own reputations, their political alignments, and their desperate need for approval from the very culture that despises them?
The blood of our brothers and sisters cries out from the ground. And the so-called leaders of Western Christianity continue to sip their coffee in silence. May God judge them accordingly.
