church in Qusayr

Don sent me this:  "there is some more about Qusayr and the church  by Sam Dagher of the Wall Street Journal who has also been there. The story is somehow different from what was told to us before in much of the Western media: “Rebels fighting here appeared to be under the sway of Jabhat al-Nusra, a Sunni militia that is linked to al Qaeda: Notices plastered on war-damaged mosques praised the group's defense of Qusayr. In the main Christian church, scenes of Christ's crucifixion, seen by many Muslims as blasphemous, had been ripped from paintings and altarpieces. […] Some of the most intricate defenses were set up next to St. Elias, the town's main church. A section of St. Elias's wall appears to have been knocked down by a tank. Holes scarred the facade, dome and bell tower. The building's now-empty shell was littered with debris and defaced by anti-Assad graffiti. […]Before fighting nearly emptied Qusayr of residents, the predominantly Sunni city of 60,000 people had a Christian minority estimated to number 10,000 people. Most of the Christians fled in February 2012 after Islamist fighters battled with several Christian families who supported the regime.” Oh yes and he seems to have also talked to some of those Hezbollah fighters who we were told before are looting Qusayr: “Moving along streets and alleyways littered with severed power lines and the rubble of buildings, the Hezbollah fighters often squared off against looters. "Shame on you—don't you know this is someone else's property," the Hezbollah squad leader said to a man in a car-parts shop.”"
