lpv:translated text	"Mr President, more Christians have been murdered in Syria this year than in neighbouring Iraq between 2003 and 2011. I was told this shocking fact earlier this week by a good friend, a knowledgeable Arabist, who is stationed in Damascus. Meanwhile, the Alawite minority in Syria, approximately 3 million people, fear outright genocide if the current Assad regime is overthrown. This is not a figment of my imagination, because hate preachers, such as Adnan al-Arour, have openly been calling for this from Saudi Arabia. Baroness Ashton, how does the European Union assess this Syrian nightmare? At the same time, I would ask you, if you have not done so already, to challenge Saudi Arabia about the spreading of inflammatory language through satellites from Saudi territory. I was told yesterday by reliable Syrian sources that Salafist rebels are now so heavily armed that they control whole neighbourhoods and even entire towns. This has been conclusively documented for the Christian neighbourhoods in Homs and the towns of Rastan and Qusair. Following Homs, some 10 000 Christian citizens from Qusair, having had to abandon all their possessions, were last week expelled by armed rebels. Are you equally familiar with this piece of information and, if so, has this sad expulsion led to any action or response on the part of the EU?"@en1
