Today in Damascus, locals woke up to find two small shrines (Eikonostasia) vandalized by mobs who chanted Allahu Akbar, destroyed them overnight, and then fled. This is a reflection of the emboldened behavior of mobs following HTS’s takeover. pic.twitter.com/E6K2vhxENm

The destroyed shrines themselves will bear witness to the majesty of Allah. Many Muslims believe that the ruins and destruction of non-Muslim structures testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an suggests that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: “7Similar ways have passed away before you. Just travel in the land and see the nature of the consequences for those who denied.” (3:137)

No wonder both the EU as well as the Arab League are now warming up to these HTS backed thugs

Jesus said, “The world hates you, as it hated me first.” He warned that due to this hatred by the world, Christians would be persecuted; and He also said that the devil is “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.”
Following the lead and the desires of the devil (their father) means the devil’s children “steal, kill and destroy.”

Food for thought. Yet, there’s a world of difference between a ruin say brought over the span of time and destruction brought on by someone purporting to claim “Allahu Ackbar” while committing a destructive act in Allah’s name.
What is “proven” then, when an event is committed like 7 October, that in turn results in the desolation that is Gaza? How many times must Jews punish Jihadists only to have them turn around from the ruins and claim victory? If it were the will of Allah for which they pray and claim to “submit”, at what point does their rebellion against the will of Allah, become true submission to his will?

Well said, somehistory. It’s a pity the spirit of the Crusaders no longer exists. If it did there would be a lot of dead Muslims with destroyed cities and few would be living in Western countries where invariably they prove a wretched, uncivilized plague.

Thank you, Rob.
The current pope would likely condemn you for writing that

If Bassel al-Assad had not died in 1994, all of this would never have happened. The British education system turned Bashar Assad’s brain into a pudding. He loves them, they hate him. This is the biggest fool on this planet.

Islam is nothing but a bunch of cheap thugs. They are embolden by the lack of our leaders to deal with their violence. Islam only knows one thing it’s called power. They will continue to attack non muslim/islamic people until we but a heavy foot on their neck.
