As millions of Christian celebrated Easter this Sunday morning, the Islamic State destroyed the Virgin Mary Church in Tel Nasri, northeast Syria.
The Assyrian church of Virgin Mary was built and consecrated in 1934. It was then temporarily closed for renovation and reopened in 2005.
According to Arabic media reports, the church was leveled around 9 a.m. today (Syrian time). Loosely translated as “Christian Hill,” Tel Nasri is an ancient Assyrian Christian village.
It is one of the dozens of Christian villages along the Khabur river that were attacked and occupied by the Islamic State in late February (more here and here).
I will have an article on the subject of persecution of Christians by Muslims published this week at Western Journalism. Com.
Check out al-Azhar University last week.
Where are the drone when needed most!
I pity them… they are not humans and they use the religion excuse for doing all this…
Islam is never tolerant of any religion other than Islam and Islam is not a religion at all but a death cult. If allowed to continue, every decent human being will be killed.
