Syria: Islamist Rebels Burn Bibles And Christian Books In Front Of Raqqa Church

For futile purposes …

Isaiah 40:8, “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”

Agenzia Fides – “The militia of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the faction that in several regions of Syria monopolized the armed insurrection against the regime in Damascus in recent days have organized a book burning of Bibles and Christian books in front of the Greek – Catholic church of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Raqqa, the Syrian city which has been for months under the control of anti-Assad militias. This information was reported by the indipendent Kurdish Agency – AraNews, known for its critical stance against the Syrian regime and in contact with activists and informers that from Raqqa have leaked the news via social networks.

The region of Raqqa was the scene of clashes between the army of Assad and the militias of the opposition in March. After the withdrawal of the government army, internal clashes between the anti-regime Free Syrian Army battalions and groups of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant began. The stated purpose of this faction is the creation of an Islamic caliphate in the areas which have fallen under its control. To do this, civilians are subjected to campaigns of indoctrination and fanaticization – based on jiahdist ideology. Already in September several videos circulating online had documented the vandalism committed against the two churches in the city of Raqqa by militants of ISIL, with the destruction of crosses, statues and sacred images.

In Raqqa, in late July, the Roman Jesuit Paolo Dall’Oglio was kidnapped. As reconstructed by Fides Agency (08/26/2013) the main suspects in the kidnapping of father Paolo are the affiliates of ISIL.” Source – Agenzia Fides.

1 Corinthians 1:18, “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Flashback: Syria: Islamist Rebels Find Bibles And Biblical Materials, Call Them ‘More Dangerous Than Chemical Weapons’ – “The Word of Truth will always be considered “dangerous” to those who worship the Father of Lies … ‘A video apparently made by some of the Islamists fighting and killing each other and the population in Syrian reveals quantities of Bibles and biblical materials, such as the Book of John, as a narrator describes them as being ‘more dangerous than chemical weapons.’ The video appeared yesterday, just as reports were coming out of Syria about how the Islamist rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad’s army were ‘liberating’ villages, and then forcing Christians there to convert to Islam or be beheaded.” Read more.

    Even though burning the Qur’an is protected under the First Amendment, it is unnecessary and counter-productive, serving little more than to draw attention away from the root of Islam’s global sickness and upon the burning itself.

    We are engaged in a spiritual battle of the ages, and in war we must strive to know and expose the enemy for all to see. But we cannot do this if we’re showing them little more than burning hues of orange and red. Instead of burning hues of orange and red we must show others Islam’s true colors — the death-loving, pro-terror hatred, racism, Nazi-style supremacy cloaked in religion, bathed in inequality and sexual deviance, all of which is expressly espoused by the “perfected character” of Islam’s self-proclaimed “prophet” in whom the Muslim world seeks to conform itself after, along with everyone else. Until God Himself returns to put an end to the madness, let us not focus on destroying the enemy’s books. Let us focus instead on destroying all the lies that are written within them.
