BEIRUT — Christians in Syria say they are coming under increasing pressure to choose sides in the 18-month-old civil war that has engulfed their country, as Syria's foreign minister, in a speech Monday, accused some members of the U.N. Security Council of supporting "terrorism."
"[Both sides] want us in this war," said Maronite Archbishop Samir Nassar, whose congregation in the Christian quarter of the capital, Damascus, said it can't trust the government or the rebels.
