Yesterday, Donald Trump hosted the Al-Qaeda terrorist who is now the president of Syria at the White House. Christian leaders pleaded with the president to insist that al-Sharaa stop murdering Christians, Druze, and other religious minorities in his country and lift a starvation-causing blockade.
Trump has stood up for the Nigerian Christians experiencing a devastating genocide at the hands of Islamic terrorists, which makes it somewhat puzzling as to why he is so friendly with the Syrian terrorist committing a similar genocide in Syria. If he hopes to make al-Sharaa reform, then demanding an end to religious persecution is most certainly a major priority.
In the video below, persecuted Christians referred to America as the country that stands up for suffering humanity, especially under Trump. Is that true?
Watch: Muslims in Syria invade Christian and Druze villages to murder as many people as possible.

First, for a little background. Al-Sharaa was until recently al-Golani, referring to his desire to help Palestinian terrorists take over Israel’s Golan Heights, and he heads the Qatar-backed al-Qaeda offshoot Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS). That terror organization is now the government of Syria.
Ever since HTS took power, which means for all of this year, Sunni Muslim Bedouins, with the assistance of Syrian government forces, have kidnapped, attacked, and slaughtered Christians and Druze in Syria. The only government that attempted to come to the aid of the persecuted was Israel’s. After Israel’s strike, al-Sharaa blamed the victims of his men for the conflict. Notably, until recently, al-Sharaa had a U.S. bounty of $10 million on his head, and he once fought American soldiers and was imprisoned by American forces. He has been imposing harsh Sharia law and killing anyone who resists in every territory he has seized for years.
Heartbreaking. Muslims are setting fire to entire Christian villages and towns in Syria.

In just 20 years, the Christian population in Syria has fallen from 3 million to under 300,000. And now they are trying to exterminate what’s left.

Heartbreaking, Father Tony Boutros, representative of the Greek Catholic Church in Sweida, Syria, makes an appeal to the international community to save Christians and Druze from an Islamist genocide.

Trump removed the terror designation from HTS, lifted sanctions, and is now hosting al-Sharaa. But if the previous favors from the Trump administration did not make the jihadi stop killing his people, would a visit to the White House accomplish that?
A group of more than 80 Christian American leaders were hoping that Trump could negotiate with al-Sharaa. It is not clear if he did so. The leaders asked that Trump insist upon a humanitarian corridor in southern Syria and asked him “to address directly the massacre of Christians, Kurds, Druze, and Alawites in Syria, notably in the greater Suwayda area.” They added, “These religious minorities [in Syria] face ongoing violence, death, displacement, starvation, and water and medical deprivation, all while innocent women and children are held hostage by ISIS terrorists.”
We have a moral duty not to turn a blind eye to the horrible suffering of religious minorities under al-Sharaa.
