The Telegraph's Ruth Sherlock visits the Syrian town of Izraa, home one of the world's oldest Christian communities, which is increasingly under threat by ongoing fighting in the region.

Home to one of the oldest Christian communities in the world, the Syrian agricultural town of Izraa has stood the comings and goings of many empires over the centuries.

But as the country's civil war creeps closer, it is threatening to force the town's Christians into permanent exile: never to return, they fear.

Exactly how many Christians have left Syria is difficult to say, but according to the Christian charity Open Doors, some 700,000 have left the country, which equates to some 40 per cent of Syria's pre-war Christian population.

Christian leaders in the country warn of an exodus on the scale of Iraq, where the 1.5 million-strong community that lived there prior to the first Gulf War is now down to as little as a tenth of its former size.

The threat to towns like Izraa will be uppermost in the mind of the Pope during his visit to Turkey this week, amid warnings from Christian leaders worldwide that their religion might soon lose its foothold in the very region where it was born.

Looking around Izraa's 1,500 year old church, Father Elias Hanout warned: "In this land the Word started. And if you delete the Word here, then Christianity across the world will have no future."

I walked in, and they had a song already written as "Cruisin' for the Ladies." They looked at me like, "Get outta here." Then Steven said, "Well, originally, when I was writing the song, I was singing 'Dude looks like a lady'." I said, "Oh my God, that's a smash." At first I suggested, "Let's write a story song. Maybe it's a guy who was like a Vietnam vet who was so like traumatized, he came back and became a drag queen." Joe Perry got a very stern look on his face and said, "Some of my friends are vets." I said, "OK. Forget about that idea. What about a guy who goes into a strip joint and sees this gorgeous, you know, bosomed blond stripping on stage and then he goes backstage and finds out it's really a guy." And they went with that. It goes, "She's a funky lady, I like it, like it, like it like that." The singer's sort of implying he went for it anyway 'cause he liked what he saw. He goes, "Never judge a book by its cover/or who you're gonna love by your lover." It has a kind of deep message in a way, because it's like, well, what is love, and what is a person, and if you're attracted to what you're seeing, you're attracted to it, you know? It's a kind of elevated song about androgyny, and, in spite of the fact that it's down and dirty, it has a kind of lofty concept.
