Somalia: Christian Assassinated In Mogadishu For Spreading The ‘Wrong Religion’

11/15/2013 1 comment

Many people who defend Islam as a “Religion of Peace” often quote a portion of Sura 5:32, claiming that “whoever kills a soul … it is as if he had slain mankind entirely.” In and of itself, the quoted portion appears to be saying that it is wrong to ever kill someone. But when the verse is read in full it makes two vital exceptions: Unless someone is killed for revenge, or unless they are killed for spreading “corruption” in the land. Since the teachings and beliefs of Jews, Christians and all non-Muslims in general are considered “corrupt” in Islam, the fact of the matter is that even the most “peaceful” verse in the Qur’an is itself yet another verse among many that devout Muslims use to justify the slaughter of non-Muslims …

Qur’an Sura 5:32, “Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors”.

Morning Star News – “Gunmen who said they intended to kill a Christian in Mogadishu, Somalia for spreading his faith shot him to death last month, the victim’s neighbor said.

Two men armed with pistols shot Abdikhani Hassan seven times as he approached his home after closing his pharmacy in Kharkinley District on Oct. 20, his Muslim neighbor told a Morning Star News source. Hassan is survived by his wife, who is pregnant, and five children ranging in age from 3 to 12.

Before killing Hassan, one of the assailants told the neighbor, ‘We have information that Hassan is spreading wrong religion to our people, and we are looking for him,’ the neighbor said.

‘I got so frightened as the two young men left,’ said the neighbor, whose identity is withheld for security reasons.

The unidentified attackers did not rob Hassan of anything.

Islamic extremists from the Al Shabaab rebel group have killed several Christians in the past few years, and although the group no longer controls Mogadishu, a few rebels hiding their militant identity remain in the  capital, a source said.

‘The men who murdered Abdikhani are suspected to be Al Shabaab militia, and the government is carrying out an investigation looking for the two killers,’ he said.

Al Shabaab, the Somali cell of Al Qaeda, has vowed to rid Somalia of its Christians, who meet secretly in the country where apostasy, or leaving Islam, is punishable by death.” Read more.

Egypt: Muslim Gangs Terrorize Christians In Minya Village, ‘We’ve Come For The Coptic Dogs’

11/15/2013 Leave a comment

Qur’an Sura 9:29, “[Mohammed said] Fight those who believe not in Allah … (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Christians], until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

By Nader Shukry, Watani International – “The Copts in the Minya village of Manshat al-Mughlaqa in Mallawi, some 250km south of Cairo, are living in terror at the hands of a local criminal who goes by the name Saddam Hussein.

Hussein is the brother of another notorious villain whose ruthless ferocity earned him the dreaded name of Holako, and who was killed a year ago in a shooting when he attempted to kidnap a Coptic woman from her home.

Saddam, who in the lifetime of his brother acted as his right hand, continues along the same path, terrorising the Copts in the villages of the district. Together with his criminal gang, they descend on the villages and target the Copts, many of whom are the wealthier members of the community. They force them to pay tribute money at the peril of their lives and the lives of their children. In case the Copts are landowners, their fields and cattle are promptly set on fire if they refuse to pay up.

Eyewitnesses complained to Watani that they feel unprotected; the police, they said, know about Saddam’s gang but do nothing.

When the Muslim villagers attempted to face the gang they were told to stand by; ‘We didn’t come for you,’ one of the gangsters said, ‘We’ve come for the Coptic dogs.'” Read more.

Flashback: The Nonstop Kidnapping And Plundering Of Egypt’s Christians Continues Unabated – “The kidnapping and plundering of Egypt’s Christian Copts continues unabated. As recently revealed on CTV, in a village called Maghlaga, in the district of Malawi—where Muslim Brotherhood supporters earlier ransacked and plundered a museum housing Egyptian antiquities—a Muslim gang leader known as ‘Saddam’ has been going to every one of the approximately 80 Coptic households in the village demanding jizya/extortion money from them. One inhabitant of the village confirmed that Muslim Brotherhood members are behind Saddam, specifically informing him how much money each household can be squeezed of, so that most households are paying anywhere from 20,000-100,000 Egyptian pounds (from 3-15 thousand U.S. dollars).” Read more.

‘Global Crisis’: Christians In Islamic Nations Face Extinction, ‘Mass Exodus On A Biblical Scale’ Taking Place

11/15/2013 2 comments

Revelation 6:8, “And I looked, and behold a [chlōros – green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [thērion – savage, brutal, bestial men] of the earth…”

By Matthew Holehouse, The Telegraph – “Christianity is in danger of becoming extinct in its ancient homelands because of a rising tide of sectarian attacks, a senior minister will warn on Friday.

Violence against Christian worshippers and other religious minorities by fanatics has become a ‘global crisis’ and is the gravest challenge facing the world this century, Baroness Warsi will say.

‘A mass exodus is taking place, on a Biblical scale. In some places, there is a real danger that Christianity will become extinct,’ she will say at a speech at Georgetown University in Washington.

In the new year, Lady Warsi, the Minister for Faith who sits in the Cabinet, will host an international summit to draw up a plan to end the violence against Christians – particularly in the countries where the faith was born.

Writing for Telegraph.co.uk, Lady Warsi highlights the bombing of All Saints Church in Pakistan, killing 85 congregants, in September and the gun attack on a Coptic wedding party in Egypt as the latest outrages by militants who have turned ‘religion upon religion, sect upon sect’.

‘There are parts of the world today where to be a Christian is to put your life in danger,’ she writes. ‘From continent to continent, Christians are facing discrimination, ostracism, torture, even murder, simply for the faith they follow.

‘Christian populations are plummeting and the religion is being driven out of some of its historic heartlands. In Iraq, the Christian community has fallen from 1.2m in 1990 to 200,000 today. In Syria, the horrific bloodshed has masked the haemorrhaging of its Christian population,’ she says.

Terrorists are subjecting Christians in the Middle East to ‘collective punishment’ for American foreign policy. Worshippers are now regarded as newcomers and agents of the West, despite having lived there for centuries.

The attacks come against a diverse background of political upheaval, local turf wars and social unrest – but they share the common trait of Christians becoming a ‘scapegoat’ for extremists who are insecure in their own religious identity, she will say.

It is the same mindset that motivated the Nazis to persecute the Jews and the Communists to suppress the Russian church, she says.

Lady Warsi is the first senior British politician to draw attention to the plight of Christians in the Arab world, and will call on other Muslims to defend Christians, citing the example of Christians who defended praying Muslims in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian uprising.

‘A bomb going off in a Pakistani church shouldn’t just reverberate through Christian communities; it should stir the world,’ she says.” Read more.

Unsealed: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ – “In an April, 2012 op-ed for Arutz Sheva, Italian journalist Giulio Meotti surmised that ‘the drive for Islamic purity is going to banish all traces of pre-Islamic pasts. When the Islamists will have prevailed, the Middle East will be completely green, the colour of Islam’ [5]. In Revelation 6:8, John describes the ‘fourth horseman’ as being ‘chlōros‘, which translates literally as ‘green’… Green is the official color of Islam, and this green ‘fourth horseman’ is described as having power over the fourth part of the earth. It is no coincidence that today Islam now has dominion over a fourth part of the earth. The ‘fourth horseman’ has the power to ‘kill with sword.’ Islam is spread through Jihad, the ‘Sword of Islam.’ The ‘fourth horseman’ also kills with hunger/famine. Where Islam rises, deprivation and Sharia lawlessness quickly follows, so much so that they would even prefer to see children starve to death than to see them receive life-saving aid from the ‘Christian West.’ The ‘fourth horseman’ kills with ‘death’, and the love of death and martyrdom for the cause of ‘Allah’ permeates Islamic culture to the point where Islamists will even openly declare that they ‘love death more than you love life.’ Lastly, the ‘fourth horseman’ is described as killing with ‘the beasts of the earth.’ The Greek word for beasts is ‘thērion‘ and is very likely being used metaphorically to refer to ‘savage’, ‘brutal’ and ‘bestial’ men — a perfect description of what we are witnessing today in the radical world of Islam’s death seekers.” Read more.

Tunisia: Muslim Man Converts To Christianity, ‘In The Days That Followed I Lost My Entire Family’

11/13/2013 4 comments

Matthew 16:24, 26-27,  “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me… For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?… For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.”

Matthew 24:29, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days … they will see the Son of Man coming … with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect …”

Colossians 3:12, “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering …”

Tunisians du Monde via Islam verses Europe (Translation) – “My wife filed for divorce the day she discovered the Bible that I hid under the mattress. The news of my conversion then spread like wildfire. The youngest of my daughters has suffered psychologically because in school she was a regular target of ridicule as the daughter of the ‘kuffar.’

In the days that followed, I lost my entire family including, very painfully, the affection of my mother who now swore by my other brother, a ‘professing Muslim’ but an alcoholic.

My divorce was finalized in less than three months and I was ordered to pay my ex-wife a monthly pension equivalent to 400% of my income at the time.

My family and my country had left me! I then proceeded to go into exile in France.

… [W]hen I was hospitalized in a clinic in Tunis to undergo a major surgery, I had the honor to receive the loving visit of the Bishop of Tunis. As I was a top Tunisian official, my minister-in-charge was immediately informed of the visit and the consequences quickly followed.

Around me, all the medical staff fell in turmoil and I suddenly become the pariah that had to be removed quickly. Three days later, I was asked to leave even though I was not fully recovered from my rather heavy operation. The weeks that followed confirmed my professional career was done.

Sudan: Muslim Man Converts To Christianity, Relatives Burn Down His House

11/13/2013 6 comments

For peaceful purposes …

Luke 21:16, “You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.”

Christian Post – “In Sudan the atmosphere for Christians is becoming increasingly dangerous. Since the secession of South Sudan, the government in Khartoum has made it clear that the country is a Muslim state that will be governed by strict Islamic law (Sharia). The government of President Oman Hassan al-Bashir has made it clear that there is no room for Christians. However, contrary to the desire of the government and society at large, there are Christians in Sudan who are holding on to Christ at great cost.

Moses (not his real name), 31, was born to a successful Muslim businessman in Sudan. As a young man, he helped his father run the business. Sadly, the father died when he was 16 years old. Moses’ mother remarried after a short time. An uncle took in the young Moses. But he was not an honest man. He grabbed all of Moses’ father’s property. When Moses protested, the uncle sent him to a state-run school for ‘problematic’ young people. Moses faced disciplining and Islamic instruction. He endured regular beatings and hard labor. After some time Moses escaped. He found refuge for a few years in a separate town where he made ends meet by doing menial jobs. Then he returned to Khartoum to live with his brother. But that did not last. When Moses and his brother had a disagreement about their late father’s property, Moses moved out.

One day in 2011, Moses walked past a church and noticed the cross. He unexpectedly felt ‘something stirring in him.’ He entered the building on an impulse and was met by a church elder. They had a brief discussion about the Christian faith. This one conversation led to a number of follow-up meetings. After two years of discussion, Moses accepted Christ. The regular discussions turned into discipleship sessions.

Soon after this, Moses married a Muslim woman, Aida. She regularly joined Moses for church services at the local church and Moses sincerely hoped she would follow him to Christ. But it did not happen. At first, the couple did not tell any of their families about Moses’ Christian faith. They thought it best to keep it a secret. But in April, Aida told her mother. Aida’s mother was furious. She spread the word. When she told her sons, they immediately went to Moses’ house and burned it to the ground. Moses lost everything in the fire …” Read more.

Terrifying: Kidnappings Of Christians Surge In Egypt

11/13/2013 2 comments

Romans 8:35-39, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Revelation 22:20b, “… Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

By Kristen Chick, CSM – “Hany Sedhom’s story begins the way dozens of others begin: it was dark, and he was driving home to a village on the outskirts of this sleepy city in late September.

Suddenly a car and motorcycle emerged out of the night, blocking the road. The men quickly got out and pointed automatic rifles at his head. Mr. Sedhom considered stepping on the gas and trying to escape, but he quickly abandoned the thought when the men fired at his car. They dragged him out of the vehicle, striking his head with a rifle butt and slashing his face with a knife before tying his hands, blindfolding him, and driving off into the desert with him.

Over the next 48 hours, Mr. Sedhom was beaten, taunted, and threatened with death. He was given no food, and only filthy water to drink.

He was finally released after his wife paid a ransom of 300,000 Egyptian pounds (about $43,500) – but not before his kidnappers threw him into a pit, pressed a gun to his head, and told him it was all over.

Sedhom’s terrifying ordeal has become familiar for Christians throughout southern Egypt. More than 100 people have been kidnapped for ransom in this marginalized region in the last two and a half years, nearly all of them Christians, according to activists and church officials. And there has been a sharp increase in kidnappings in the months since Aug. 14, when hundreds were killed as police broke up two sit-ins supporting ousted president Mohamed Morsi.

Although more than 80 people have been kidnapped in Minya Province alone, the rest of the country knows little about the burgeoning scourge of opportunistic violence. And victims, activists, and church officials say the police have largely ignored the problem, rarely taking steps to stop the kidnappers or bring them to justice.

A group of kidnap victims and a Coptic Orthodox Church official say they’ve waited long enough. In late October they planned a protest in front of the governor’s office, and decided to begin publicizing the problem. When local officials found out, they invited the group to meetings with the governor and security chief in Minya. Group members are wary of broken promises, but they say the official acknowledgement of the problem is an important first step.

‘If the police tried, this could be stopped,’ says Sedhom. ”If’ is the key word here.'” Read more.

Muslim Persecution Of Christians: August 2013, ‘Their Goal Was To Erase All The Traces Of A Christian Presence’

11/12/2013 2 comments

Matthew 10:22, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

By Raymond Ibrahim, Gatestone Institute – “The attacks on Egypt’s Coptic Christians and their churches that began in July on the heels of the popular June 30 Revolution — which saw the ousting of President Morsi and prompted the Muslim Brotherhood to scapegoat and incite violence against the Copts — became even more brutal in mid-August after security forces cleared out Brotherhood ‘sit in’ camps, where people were being tortured, raped, and murdered. Among other things, over 80 Christian churches were attacked and often torched. (Click here for a brief video of one of these many churches set aflame.)

Upper Egypt, especially Minya, which has a large Christian minority, was hit especially hard, with at least 20 attacks on churches, Christian schools and orphanages. ‘The Islamists,’ one resident said, ‘burnt and destroyed everything. Their goal was to erase all the traces of a Christian presence; even the orphanages were looted and destroyed.’ After storming the Prince Tadros el-Shatbi Church, Morsi supporters turned their attention to two homes for disadvantaged children located near the parish church; there, they stole church offerings, clothes, and children’s games before torching the entire building in a fire that lasted over five hours.

The attacks were not limited to inanimate objects. According to the BBC, 10-year-old Jessi Boulus, an only child, was walking home from her Bible class in a working-class area of the capital when a gunman killed her with a single shot to the chest. Her mother, Phoebe, devastated, believes Jessi was targeted purely because she was Christian.

The attacks on Egypt’s Christians were so fierce that, at one point, when they started to run out of food, they were afraid to come out of their homes for fear of being killed by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Many churches canceled services. Even at the Virgin Mary monastery, which was also torched, one priest said, ‘We did not hold prayers in the monastery on Sunday for the first time in 1,600 years.’

Although some in the West assert that the Christian minority needs to fight fire with fire, when one 60-year-old Copt tried to do just that, firing a gun in the air to scare away an invading Islamic mob, ‘It proved a fatal error,’ the Sunday Times reported: ‘They took offence at the fact that a Christian fired in the air against them, and they stormed his home and shot him to death before taking his body away and hacking it into parts.’

Scenes reminiscent of the original Islamic conquest of Seventh Century Egypt replayed themselves: an Evangelical church in the village of Bedin was not only attacked but converted into a mosque. Similarly, as reported by the AP, ‘After torching a Franciscan school, Islamists paraded three nuns on the streets like ‘prisoners of war’ before

Syria: At Least 9 Children Killed After Islamist Rebel Mortars Hit Christian School, Bus In Damascus

11/11/2013 1 comment

According to Islam, it is permissible to kill innocent children for the cause of “Allah” and his “prophet.” After all, to their beastly minds an infidel, even if they’re a little child, is still an infidel …

A Muslim asked Muhammad “about the polytheist whose settlement were attacked at night when some of their offspring and women were smitten [killed]. The Prophet … said: They are of them [infidels]” (Abu Dawud no. 2666; Bukhari, Jihad, no. 3012; Muslim nos. 4321-4323)

Bangkok Post – “Nine children were killed and 27 people wounded when mortar rounds hit a school and a school bus in the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday, state television reported.

‘The toll in the terrorist targeting of the St. John of Damascus school with mortar rounds has risen to five dead, all of them children, and 27 injured,’ a news alert on Syrian state television said.

Another four students were killed when a mortar hit the vehicle they were in, in the central Bab Sharqi district of the capital, state news agency SANA said, adding that the driver was also killed.

Six others inside the bus, including four more students, were wounded in the ‘terrorist attack,’ SANA said.

The regime of President Bashar al-Assad uses the blanket term ‘terrorists’ to refer to the opposition.

Earlier, the interior minister told the official Al-Ikhbariya channel that 11 children had been hurt at the school in the majority Christian district of Qassaa, in central Damascus.

Both incidents took place in majority Christian district of the capital.

Rebel fighters arrayed in districts on the outskirts of the capital regularly launch rockets and mortar rounds at central neighbourhoods, causing damage and sometimes fatalities.” Read more.

Killing Them Softly: Al-Qaeda Tweets Bizarre Guide Detailing How To ‘Kindly’ Cut Off Someone’s Head

11/11/2013 2 comments

Bear witness to Islam’s “reformation” where “moderates” are finally starting to make a “change.” Unfortunately, this will be the full extent of it …

Revelation 20:4b, “And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

Syria: Islamist Rebel Beheads An ‘Enemy’ Of The ‘Prophet’

Syria: Islamist Rebel Beheads An ‘Enemy’ Of The ‘Prophet’

Examiner – “In a truly bizarre case of the 21st century meeting the 7th, al-Qaeda is taking to Twitter to instruct fellow terror thugs how to properly behead the enemies of Islam but ensuring said head lopping is done so in a ‘kindly’ fashion, as reported by the Islamo-centric news portal Al-Alam of Tehran, Iran on Nov. 7, 2013.

The al-Qaeda franchise owner in Syria, the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam (ISIS), has taken to the internet to instruct all al-Qaeda allies, from Boko Haram in Nigeria; to Lashkar-e-Omar (The Army of Omar) in Kashmir; to The Rajah Sulaiman Movement in the Philippines that when it comes to waging Jihad on either Western infidels or wayward Muslims, there is still conduite déraisonnable that won’t be tolerated, even the most ardent of Mujaheddin.

Specifically using the micro-blogging site Twitter, ISIS is admonishing that when it comes to decapitation, the Jihadi honchos still expect the rules of manners and decorum be adhered to.

Namely, ISIS is instructing that those who do the actual beheadings ensure they ‘kindly cut human’s head’ due to their fear of not appearing all-that-friendly to the general public.

Or as Al-Alam published, ‘they don’t want to seem violent.'” Read more.

Nigeria: At Least 7 Killed As Muslim Mercenaries Invade Christian Communities, Thousands Flee Homes

11/10/2013 1 comment

Per International Christian Concern: “The Fulani are a pastoral Muslim tribe that has long quarreled with its Christian neighbors. However, today a well-armed group of Fulani mercenaries, likely acting at the behest of Boko Haram Islamists, invaded a Christian area and ravaged a town …”

Qur’an Sura 9:5, “… fight and slay the Pagans [non-Muslims] wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) …”

By Peter Duru, allAfrica – “Seven persons have been reportedly killed while over six thousand others have also been displaced in Ikpele and Okpopolo communities following the invasion of parts of Agatu Local Government Area of Benue state by suspected Fulani mercenaries.

Saturday Vanguard gathered from sources that ‘the marauders who invaded the communities two days ago from Omola Local Government Area of Kogi state also burnt down several houses, huts and economic trees after killing seven persons in the affected communities.’

Confirming the development, renown leader of Agatu and Benue state Commissioner for Works and Transport, Mr. John Ngbede said, that his people in Ikpele and Okpopolo were attacked again on Tuesday, morning by the Fulanis when most of the people had gone to their farms.

‘They stormed the communities in a guerrilla fashion, burnt down houses and economic trees and while on their way out they killed two persons and injured two others who are currently in critical condition in a public hospital.

‘As I talk to you, there are rumours that the mercenaries are marching towards Iwarri village for further attacks. Our findings revealed that they stormed our communities from Loco in Nasarawa state from where they boarded speed boats to Omola Local Government Area of Kogi state, and from that point they launched attacks on our communities.

‘It is saddening that these incessant attacks have forced over 6,000 inhabitants of the affected communities and Agatu west to flee their homes for fear of being killed; most of them are now taking refuge at neighboring Apa Local Government Area and at Obagaji.

‘We are tired of these unending bloodbath, the Fulanis should come out and tell us their problem with Agatu people, and if they have a different agenda they should also let us know.'” Read more.

Pakistan: Unrelenting Violence In Karachi Neighborhood Forces Entire Christian Community To Flee The ‘Slaughter House’

11/10/2013 1 comment

Qur’an Sura 3:64, “Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers [Jews and Christians] and has prepared for them a Blazing Fire to dwell in forever. No protector will they find, nor savior… ‘Our Lord! Give them double torment and curse them with a very great Curse!’”

Zechariah 5:3a, 8a, ”… This is the curse [אָלָה – “alah“] that goes out over the face of the whole earth … This is Wickedness …”

Matthew 24:22, “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”

Colossians 3:12, “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering …”

The Express Tribune – “The unabated violence in the city’s volatile Lyari neighbourhood has forced its entire Christian community to move to safer areas The Express Tribune has learnt.

Threats, killings, interferences in personal matters, drugs, extortion and rape of young girls were some of the reasons that compelled the out-migration from one of the oldest parts of Lyari, called Slaughter House.

Around 600 houses in Slaughter House, which comprises 22 buildings, was established in 1916 for the sanitary workers of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC). It now stands deserted as its occupants were forced out by a group of gangsters, who were forcing them to join their ranks against its rival group or leave the compound forever. The residents, who were mostly employees of the KMC, were paying a monthly rent of Rs450 to the department.

These last occupants of Slaughter House were the fourth generation of the earliest KMC workers. Unfortunately, the fifth generation will have to find homes in various parts of the city, including Akhtar Colony, Kashmir Colony, Azam Basti, Azam Town, Korangi, Narain Pura, Essa Nagri, Zia Colony, Nasir Colony, Qayyumabad and Baldia Town.

The Slaughter House was primarily a residential area for minorities, which included 90 per cent Christians and 10 per cent Hindus. There are seven sacred worship places – four churches and three temples. ‘It is almost empty now,’ disclosed an affected elder of the Christian family. ‘We all are separated now.

Syria: Bodies Of Christian Family Discovered In A Well, Including 90-Year-Old Grandmother

11/07/2013 1 comment

The beasts of the earth forever thirst for Christian blood …

Qur’an Sura 58:20, “Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be among those most humiliated.”

Zechariah 5:3a, 8a, ”… This is the curse [אָלָה – “alah“] that goes out over the face of the whole earth … This is Wickedness …”

By Joop Koopman, AINA – “Inhabitants of Sadad, near Homs, who fled the largely Syrian Orthodox town when rebels attacked last month, are now returning home to discover the scale of atrocities in what is being seen as the worst act of anti-Christian persecution since the war in Syria began.

The reports, sent by Church leaders to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, describe how, in this ancient Christian town mentioned in the Bible (Ezekiel), vulnerable people unable to escape — including the elderly, disabled, women and children — were subjected to torture, such as strangulation. Church sources say 30 bodies were found in two separate mass graves.

Discovered dead in a well in Sadad were the remains of six members of one family including Matanios El Sheikh, 85, his wife, Habsah, 75, their daughter, Njala, 45, and grandsons Ranim, aged 18, a first-year university student, and his 16-year-old brother Fadi, in class XI at school.

Reports state they were thrown down a well on 26th October along with the boys’ paternal grandmother, 90-year-old Mariam. Their funerals, which took place yesterday (Monday Nov. 4), came as a community, whose town dates back to 2000BC, begins to grieve the loss of those being described as ‘martyrs’ by Church leaders.

The atrocities took place during a week-long occupation of Sadad by the Al-Nusra Front and Daash, rebel forces who, according to Church leaders, held 1,500 families as ‘human shields’ in a bid to stop Government troops retaking the village.

The tragedy in Sadad began Oct. 21 when rebel forces invaded the town and carried out what Syrian Orthodox Archbishop Selwanos Boutros Alnemeh, Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan of Homs and Hama, called the ‘most serious and biggest massacre of Christians’ since the conflict began in Syria in March 2011, the Fides news agency reported.

At least 2,500 families fled with no more than the clothes they were wearing to cities like Homs, 37 miles away, and further afield to Damascus, Al-Fhayle, Maskane, Fayrouza, Zzaydal and elsewhere.

Some who escaped travelled five miles by foot to find shelter.Those unable to flee Sadad were quickly rounded up by the rebels …” Read more.
