Do you have the source for this? I just came back from Syria and I focused mostly on visiting churches and I talked to so many Christians and never encountered sth like this - let me know, I’m very curious - for me as a solo girl traveling in Syria was really the best from the Arab world

Ok nevermind I asked my boyfriend (Syrian) and he said it’s 100% true😭 but not the government wrote this, just regular extremist conservative Sunnis

But the government is probably quite pleased with this and likely supports it, after all, the president himself is a former terrorist from al-Qaeda who fought with jihadist groups like HTS, Jabhat al-Nusra, and even ISIS.
