RE: Assault on Ras Al-Ayn

2012-11-30 ASIA/SYRIA - A young Christian of the opposition: "Minorities crushed in the conflict" http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=32775&lan=eng

2012-11-23 ASIA/SYRIA - Christians in high Mesopotamia refuse to take up arms. Bishops' appeal to the Pope and the leaders of Nations: avoid the catastrophe that is upon us http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=32723&lan=eng


 * I'm not sure how to start the right page to include these related FIDES reports on. But I did think about it a little, and a space or some related spaces to cover persecution of non-Sunnis, the refugee crisis and religious makeup of it, the infamous and now-banned chant "Christians to Beirut and Alawites to the Grave," etc. The best page would be one that covers it all, with many sub-sections and eventually hard to read all in one sitting.  --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:58, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello Ormond, thanks for your contribution and welcome to the wiki! The article needs some follow-up and that witness testimony in your younger link is very useful. There are also a couple of videos, especially about the early days, waiting for a closer look on the talk page of the article. I'll see when I find time for that, but you're of course also welcome to contribute directly to articles (or create new ones). On the Community portal page are some tips about how to deal with the software, in case you aren't familiar with it. :o) --CE (talk) 20:42, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Greetings, Ormond! Adam/Caustic Logic here. I'll probably let CE handle incorporation of that - it's mostly her page and I'm booked today too. Unless you want to try - external links are made [|like so]. We really appreciate new members. You're the first real one since us first three months ago. Let us know if you have any questions or anything. If you only contribute that, better than nothing, but please feel free to pour your mind out here. We don't have a page for persecution of Christians yet (or for Alawites, etc.) Do you think we should start one? Maybe I will later tonight. --Caustic Logic (talk) 23:40, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Links come through automatically? Did I know that? I'm the part-time self-appointed clown here. I'll just go get some work done now. Thanks again for the join. Also, don't feel too put on the spot in being member #4. Many others have almost joined, I presume, so it would be unfair to put you on any hook just for stepping a little further in than they did.  --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:58, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
