ICC Note: In the midst of the Syrian conflict, Christians have come under extreme threat and in many parts of the country have been wiped out altogether. In Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, Christians have been nearly completely destroyed as ISIS battles to gain and keep control.

10/21/2015 Syria (Express) – An existential crisis is now facing Christianity in Syria as thousands have been wiped out by assassinations and lone-wolf attacks by crazed Islamic militants.

The stark assessment of life for the persecuted religious minority under ISIS control comes from Jean-Clement Jeanbart, the Greek Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo.

He has narrowly avoided death TWICE, but vowed never to leave his homeland.

He bravely told how he is willing to die at the hands of ISIS to defend the Christians in Aleppo.

His besieged north Syrian city, which is under the control of President Bashar al-Assad but surrounded on all sides by ISIS and anti-Government rebels, is gearing up for a fierce battle in the coming days.

Describing the daily onslaught of sheer horror, he exclusively told Express.co.uk: “If nothing is done, it is not impossible that all the Christians in Syria may be wiped out.

“If ISIS comes back we may be in danger of losing everything.

“There is a fundamental threat to Christianity from ISIS. They have killed plenty of us. There is an existential crisis.”
