Another important observation in regard to the Christian communities in Syria is the role played by high-ranking figures in the Christian religious establishment. for just like most of their Sunni counterparts, they have proven what so many Syrian activists have known for a long time, that they are mere puppets in the hand of the regime, and instruments for exerting control over and manipulating the sentiments of the country’s Christians.
