Syria’s Christians Risk Eradication A post-Assad Islamist regime threatens to re-enact the Armenian genocide. By Philip Jenkins • September 4, 2013 "So here is the nightmare. If the U.S., France, and some miscellaneous allies strike at the regime, they could conceivably so weaken it that it would collapse. Out of the ruins would emerge a radically anti-Western regime, which would kill or expel several million Christians and Alawites. This would be a political, religious, and humanitarian catastrophe unparalleled since the Armenian genocide almost exactly a century ago. Around the world, scholars and intellectual leaders are debating how to commemorate the approaching centennial of that cataclysm in 2015. Through its utter lack of historical awareness, the United States government may be pushing towards not a commemoration of the genocide but a faithful re-enactment. Even at this late moment, can they yet be brought to see reason?" - theamericanconservative/articles/syrias-christians-risk-eradication/
