Bishop Murad Warns of Syria’s Danger and Christian Risk
The article discusses the current situation in Syria amid the recent transformations the country has undergone since the end of 2024. Bishop Jack Murad, Archbishop of Homs, warned that the security and economic conditions in Syria remain catastrophic. He emphasized that the country is experiencing a deep social and humanitarian crisis, and that ongoing circumstances prevent Syrian refugees from returning home. He explained that the deterioration of security and the widespread availability of weapons are exacerbating the situation, with increased violence and crime, compounded by the government's inability to control the chaos. Murad also criticized the United States, Israel, and the European Union for not making efforts to stabilize the region, which has led to a significant decline in the Christian population—from nearly two million to approximately 300,000 to 350,000. He warned that if these conditions persist, Christianity could vanish from the area altogether. He discussed the worsening religious freedoms and the rise of extremist groups targeting minorities, stressing the deterioration of the economic situation—rising food prices, high rents, and declining healthcare services. He added that the overall state of Syria poses an grave threat to the future of Christianity and other minority communities.
