JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia: The world's largest Muslim body on Sunday condemned threats made by Islamist rebels in Syria against two Christian towns, warning of fresh confessional strife in the war-torn country.
Such threats "are contrary to the precepts of Islam which calls for tolerance, brotherhood and peace," said the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation based in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
It warned against the risks of "a slide into confessional" conflict.
Islamist rebels, in a video message posted on Saturday, warned Mharda and Sqilbiya in Syria's central province of Hama that they will be attacked if they do not evict regime forces.
One of seven men armed with Kalashnikovs warned residents to expel gangs of President Bashar al- "Assad and shabiha (pro-regime militia) from your towns and convince them not to bomb our villages and families," in the video.
