Syrian Rebels Desecrate Churches, Replace Crosses With The Black Flag Of Al Qaeda!!
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.”
By Alissa Tabirian, CNS News – “A Syrian rebel group affiliated with Al Qaeda desecrated two Christian churches in Northern Syria late last month, replacing their crosses with the symbolic black flag of jihad.
The rebels also destroyed relics, painting and statues allegedly in response to the city’s anti-sectarian protestsagainst the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
‘We in the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights strongly condemn such sectarian actions that contradict the Syrian people’s demands in justice, freedom, democracy and equality,’ the group said.
Dubai-based al-Aan TV broadcast exclusive footage of members of the ISIS attacking the al-Shuhada Armenian Orthodox Church, also known as the Martyrs’ Church, and the Sayida al-Bishara Catholic Church in the Islamist-held city of Raqqa.
The video, posted on YouTube, shows a jihadist on the roof of the church throwing a crucifix to the ground below, where it is kicked by an onlooker.
The conflict between U.S.-backed rebel groups and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which has so far resulted in about 100,000 casualties, has also had grave consequences for the country’s vulnerable Christian minority.
Although Christians in Syria have been hesitant to take sides in the ongoing civil war, they are considered sympathetic to Assad, making them targets for rebel-led violence.
As CNSNews previously reported, the patriarchal vicar of the Chaldean Catholic Church in Jordan warned that Christians ‘will be massacred’ if the Syrian Army were to leave Christian-populated cities.” Read more.

When I tried to take pictures, a Salafi-looking guard, wearing a green camouflage outfit, rushed towards me and demanded to know what I was doing. My response was straightforward: I was taking a picture of the flag. He gave me an intimidating look and hissed, ‘Whomever speaks ill of this flag, we will cut off his tongue. I recommend that you don’t publish these. You will bring trouble to yourself.’” Read more.
