    then why shouldn’t the modern day church help muslim syrians.

    A lot of Syrian immigrants in the US are christian…

    The average american isn’t aware that arabic-speaking christian cultures have existed for well over a thousand years…

      The average American knows nothing about the middle east beyond Israel and what little they know of the bible. Trying to explain to them that every country in the region has an ancient and generally at least somewhat protected Christian population is gonna be really difficult.

        The average American knows nothing about anything past their town boundary, though they claim much more.

        The average American Christian believes that countries and religion exist in a 1:1 relationship and that our own founding fathers would decry our wicked acceptance of non Christian beliefs.
