Islamist frictions between (and within) Turkey and Syria have endured for years. Now Syrian rebels have taken control of Aleppo, the country’s second-largest city.

As the Gatestone Institute reports:

“The capture of Aleppo by Turkey-backed, Al-Qaeda-affiliated forces is terrifying news for Kurds, Yazidis, Christians and everyone else whom jihadists perceive as their prey. If one is celebrating the advance of these Islamists invading parts of Syria, one is celebrating the advance of bloodthirsty jihadists who want to establish an Islamic caliphate and would happily slaughter anyone who stood in their way.”

Syria has been plagued with civil war and Islamic oppression for years — which means the country’s Christians, especially those living along the Syria-Turkey border, are continually at risk for violence, abuse, displacement, and homelessness.
