FAITH FUELS SYRIA’S BRAVE CHRISTIAN SENTINELS
_What About America?_
IN THE ANCIENT CITY OF DAMASCUS, where the echoes of history whisper
through narrow streets, a group of Syrian Christians known as the
Eagles of Antioch stand as steadfast protectors of their community.
They patrol Christian neighborhoods from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, a
twelve-hour vigil born of necessity.
THE EAGLES OF ANTIOCH EMERGED IN LATE 2024, AS THE FALL OF THE ASSAD
REGIME USHERED IN A NEW ERA OF INSTABILITY. With the rise of Hay’at
Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an Islamist group now governing Syria, promises
of tolerance for religious minorities ring hollow amidst daily
sweeping operations along the coast, slaying thousands.

THESE VOLUNTEERS, ORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE,
PATROL NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE BAB TOUMA, NAMED FOR ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE.
Armed with little more than courage—and sometimes the small weapons
once distributed by the Assad regime—they face dangers that test
their mettle.
Happening now, massacres in Alawite and Christian villages force many
to flee to the mountains,

a grim reminder of the 1860 Damascus massacre when thousands of
Christians perished.
THE EAGLES’ MISSION IS PHYSICAL PROTECTION AND A STAND AGAINST
ERASURE. Syria’s Christians have endured centuries of trials—from
Ottoman persecution to the Assyrian Genocide of 1915, which killed
over 250,000 Syriac Orthodox faithful.
DURING THE HEIGHT OF ITS REIGN OF TERROR IN SYRIA, PARTICULARLY
BETWEEN 2014 AND 2019, THE ISLAMIC STATE (ISIS) UNLEASHED A BRUTAL
CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHRISTIANS, REVIVING THE ANCIENT HORROR OF
CRUCIFIXION TO INSTILL FEAR AND ASSERT DOMINANCE. In cities like Raqqa
and Deir ez-Zor, ISIS militants publicly crucified
Christians—sometimes after beheading or torture—accusing them of
apostasy or refusing to convert to Islam. One documented instance in
2014 involved eight Christians crucified in Al-Bab, their bodies left
hanging for three days as a grim warning. The Syriac Orthodox and
Assyrian communities, already scarred by historical genocides, faced
systematic persecution, with churches razed and thousands fleeing.
This Syrian Christian remnant reflects a legacy of enduring faith amid
unimaginable cruelty.
TODAY, THEY FACE A PRECARIOUS FUTURE UNDER A BRUTAL AL-QAEDA-ISIS
JOINT REGIME. HTS leader Ahmed al-Shara has met with Christian
leaders, pledging respect, while their fighters are out slaughtering
entire villages of both Alawites and Christians.
THE EAGLES OF ANTIOCH ARE MORE THAN A SECURITY FORCE; THEY ARE A
TESTAMENT TO A PEOPLE REFUSING TO VANISH. In a city where church bells
still ring amid the chaos, their vigil honors a heritage that has
weathered empires and wars.
THESE BRAVE EAGLES OF ANTIOCH STIR A PROFOUND REFLECTION ON WHAT
AMERICA MIGHT LOOK LIKE TODAY IF WE MATCHED THEIR COURAGE AND
DILIGENCE IN DEFENDING OUR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN HERITAGE AND FREEDOMS.
As we witness Hamas, pro-Hamas, and pro-terrorist student protests in
the U.S., advocating for violence and genocide, I wonder how long it
will take for Americans to boldly and fearlessly condemn these radical
Islamists and insist these University safe havens of hate ideology
come to an end. You don’t coddle and appease Jihadist ideology; you
confront it and deny it air to breathe.
Imagine an America where citizens, inspired by such faith, actively
guarded our foundational values against erosion, not with apathy but
with the same sacrificial resolve. Their example challenges us: would
we rise as eagles, vigilant and bold, to protect the liberties and
beliefs that shaped our nation, even amidst our own shadows of
division and unrest?
WILL WE RISE AND STAND IN DEFENSE OF OUR JEWISH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
DIRECTLY IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF THESE JEW-HATING MOBS THAT ARE CALLING
FOR THE ANNIHILATION OF ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH RACE?!
