Burj Qa'i

Burj Qa'i ((アラビア語:برج قاعي), also spelled Burj al-Qa'y or simply al-Burj) is a village in central Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate, located northwest of Homs. Nearby localities include Taldou and the Houla 5 kilometers to the west, Talaf to the north, Kisin to the northeast, Kafr Nan to the east, Tasnin and Akrad Dayasinah to the southeast and Ghur Gharbiyah to the south. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Burj Qa'i had a population of 2,351 in the 2004 census.〔(General Census of Population and Housing 2004 ). Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). Homs Governorate. 〕 Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims and ethnic Turkmens.〔Rosen, Nir. (A Tale of Two Syrian Villages: Part two ). ''Al-Jazeera English'' (AJE). 2011-10-26.〕
During the Roman era in Syria, Burj Qa'i was a village of army veterans by the 3rd-century CE. The local pagan deity was Semea, a goddess previously worshiped in northern areas of Syria. A temple dedicated to Semea was constructed in 196-97 upon the decision of the village's Council of Six. Christianity later spread to Burj Qa'i during the Byzantine period, as evidenced by the existence of a Christian tomb in the village dating to 457. A Christian martyrion built in 539-40 through funds raised by a bishop named Peter also exists in Burj Qa'i. The building's construction was supervised by the episcopal officials Leontius and Isaiah, who were ''oikonomos''. Pagans and Christians inhabited Burj al-Qa'i simultaneously in the period between 457 and 532.〔Trombley, 2001, p. 152.〕
In 1838, during late Ottoman rule, Burj al-Qa'i was classified as a Muslim village in the Houla region by English biblical scholar Eli Smith.〔Smith, 1841, p. 179.〕 The village was also mentioned in passing in the fifth volume of the ''Bibliotheca Sacra'' in the mid-1840s.〔Bibliotheca Sacra, 1848, p. 690.〕
In the aftermath of the Houla massacre on 25 May 2012, during the ongoing Syrian civil war, Burj Qa'i hosted around 5,000 refugees fleeing nearby Taldou, the scene of the massacre. Most refugees took shelter in schools, public buildings or the homes of host families. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) visited in June to provide food, medicines and mattresses to the displaced.〔(Syria: thousands of displaced in Houla need urgent help ). International Committee of the Red Cross. 2012-06-01.〕 In early October 2012 Syrian state television reported that Syrian Army forces killed several opposition fighters in Burj Qa'i.〔(Turkey warns Syria it will respond 'with greater force' if shelling persists ). ''Haaretz''. 2012-10-10.〕
