Syrian Rebels to Christians: Convert, Leave, or Die

Syrian Christians Told Convert, Leave, or Die


Religious Freedom Coalition
Apr 26th, 2013

Christians remaining in Syria have been given three choices by the American supported Free Syrian Army (FSA): convert to Islam, flee their homeland, or die. It is widely believed that this Islamic ideology will be enacted nationwide if President Assad is overthrown.

Many Westerners falsely assume that since the FSA opposes a dictatorship, they must be democratic, secular, and tolerant. In reality, however, the FSA seeks to establish a totally Islamic state governed by Sharia law.

Although many have suffered as a result of the civil war, Christians are special targets of the Muslim paradigm. Refugees describe kidnapping, rape, harassment, torture, theft, and murder as commonplace activities toward believers in areas that the FSA has taken over.

“Just being Christian is enough to be a target,” report survivors. Nina Oshana was one of the innocent victims. She was simply a young Christian woman riding a bus. The FSA attacked the bus and shot and killed her.

U.S. Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.) recently traveled to the Middle East and met with Syrian refugees in an urgent attempt to bring attention to this situation and spur U.S. policymakers to action. During his visit, Congressman Wolf confirmed the true plight of Christians like Nina: they are not victims of generalized violence, but are persecuted by brutality, discrimination, and displacement.

Funny. I’ve never heard a Christian nation give this ultimatum to its immigrants. See what happens when you arm a nation of barbaric terrorits, Mr. President. I’d like to see Judge Jeanine’s take on this... : )

Convert, Leave or Die.

This is what we are supporting. This is what Juan McCain wants us to go to war for. This is why Obama is sending them money.

Assad may be the biggest A-hole in the world , but he doesn’t kill Christians for being Christians.

We are on the wrong side Putin has told us that, Christians know that. We screwed up in Egypt and Libya and now Syria.Obama cannot be making these awful decision by mistake or ignorance. It has to be on purpose. That purpose is Islam. Obama’s religioon.

Yep...I guess the closest to this in the U.S. would be what the state of Missouri said to the Mormons a long time ago.

Maybe the Syrian Government didn't use Chemical weapons, the Rebels did.

Evidence Shows Syrian Rebels Behind Chemical Attack

Current data seem to suggest that it was not Syrian government forces behind the recent chemical attack in Aleppo, but rebel forces linked with al-Qaeda.

Obama will be disappointed that you're supporting al-Assad. :-p

Somehow I don’t think Barry will get too worked up about this.

It’s only a religion in the sense that communism, socialism, fascism, and yes even democracy are treated as religions. Islam is a political system cloaked as a ‘great’ religion.

Sometimes we should leave dictators and military regimes of sovereign nations to their own devices - there, I’ve said it.

The Christians should defend themselves.
I remember our Heavenly Father telling us HOW to handle other religions,
how to show the proper reaction to their false gods.
