The Syrian media whitewashed the incident, reporting only that there had been an explosion in one neighborhood of Hama, without mentioning the cathedral or the threats against the Christians. This is the same pattern that the establishment media follows the world over. Any news item that might reflect poorly on Islam is thoroughly whitewashed so that no one gets the idea that anything is amiss with the Religion of Peace.
“Assailants Attack Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Hama, Syria,” Coptic Solidarity, September 15, 2026:
Explosion during Feast of the Cross damages St. George Cathedral; Christian monitors report subsequent anti-Christian threats as official Syrian media omit the church from their account.
An explosive device was thrown at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Hama, Syria, on the evening of Sunday September 13, causing material damage to the cathedral but, fortunately, no casualties were reported. Christian monitoring organizations report that two masked men riding a motorcycle carried out the attack as the community was marking the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Hama confirmed that an explosion took place beside the cathedral and caused material damage, while reporting that no one was injured.
SyriacPress, citing the Assyrian Monitor for Human Rights, reported that two masked individuals riding a motorcycle threw a bomb near the cathedral. The Monitor condemned the incident as an attack on a place of worship intended to spread fear and called for an urgent and transparent investigation, accountability for the perpetrators, and protection for churches and their congregations.
The attack came as Christians were observing the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
A detailed incident record published by Western Syria Development similarly reports that two masked men on a motorcycle threw the device into the courtyard of St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, causing damage inside the building. The organization classifies the incident as an attack on religious property and says that video documentation of the incident exists….
The incident was followed by anti-Christian reactions online.
The Syrian Christian Observatory reported that after it publicized the cathedral attack, an individual responded with an explicit threat against Christians:
“Worse and more bitter is yet to come, O worshippers of the Cross.”
Open Doors separately reported hostile online reactions to the attack, including comments describing Christians as infidels and expressing approval of what had occurred….
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), citing a security source, acknowledged that a “stun grenade” had exploded in Hama’s al-Madina neighborhood, causing material damage but no casualties. Its report did not identify St. George Cathedral, mention that a Christian place of worship had been struck, or provide the accounts of masked motorcycle assailants reported by Christian sources.
That omission prompted criticism from the Syrian Christian Observatory, which accused Syrian media of effectively erasing both the church and the Christian identity of the target from the story….

This is another day with Allah’s demonic Muslims, spiritual children of the Serpent, against all Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law. Genocidal Allah in Qur’an 8:39 commands, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Ultimately, Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 11:119; 32:13; 98:6, etc.).
Islam is the deceitful, daily practice of Islamic Law by Muslims, and Allah rewards his Muslim believers, Criminal-Genocidal-Terrorists of Allah, with a Garden Paradise when they kill and are killed in Jihad for Allah as war against the enemies of Allah, the Non-Muslims, using MUSLIM MONEY and MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam, Islamic Law, supreme(Qur’an 2:191, 216; 4:89, 91, 95; 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 48:29; 49:15, etc.). Hence, Public Funding is a privilege that should not be granted to organizations like Islam and its Muslim Organizations which are fundamentally against the US Constitution and Western Constitutions due to Muslim discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 47:4; 48:29, etc. Ultimately, Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 11:119; 32:13; 98:6, etc.).

“Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa today, solely because the seventh-century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.
Christianity has been saved in Europe, solely because the peoples of Europe have fought TO DATE. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, and on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over, the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would have been at this moment Mohammedan and the Christian religion would have been exterminated!
Wherever the Mohammedans had complete sway, wherever the Christians had been unable to resist them by the sword, and Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of John III Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressors.
The Civilization of Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand exists today only by virtue of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization; victories through the centuries from Martel in the eighth century and those of Sobieski in the seventeenth century. During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish King, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors, and, in consequence, Christianity has practically vanished from the two continents, and today, nobody can find in them any ‘social values’ whatsoever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned.
There are such ‘social values’ today in Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and NZ only because during those thousand years, the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do — that is, to beat back the Moslem invaders.” — Teddy Roosevelt, former POTUS

Motorcycles are frequently used by muzzie terrorists in Africa. Now, two slugs…not “men”…are using the same MO.
And, instead of condemnation being the over-all reaction,
“The incident was followed by anti-Christian reactions online.
The Syrian Christian Observatory reported that after it publicized the cathedral attack, an individual responded with an explicit threat against Christians:’
And a lot of ‘praise’ for the terrorists.
Jesus warned, “The world hates you on account of my Name.” ‘The world hates you because it hated me first.”
Not to be forgotten by the Christians being persecuted, Jesus said, “In the world you are having tribulation. But take courage, I have conquered the world.”

AlShara of Syria presents himself as a unifier and peaceful leader at the UN..In reality, his government of “ex” jihadists have attacked. Kurds, Christians and Druze viciously.
He claimed Israel is the aggressor when it tries to support innocent people.
Israel will not and should not return the Golan Heights where Syrians used to shoot down at Israeli farmers from the heights.

All this while Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara’a was busy scrolling Instagram while Erdogan was delivering his UN speech. Which was interesting, given who al-Shara’a owes his power to
