Report: Syrian Rebels Behead Christian Man and Feed His Body to Dogs

It seems there’s no lowest point to the depravity of those murdering the innocent in Syria, and that includes atrocities carried out by those whom the West has decided to support. With each new atrocity, one can’t help thinking “It couldn’t be worse.” Well, it just got worse.

A leading nun in Syria is reporting that a young Christian man in Syria was beheaded by jihadi rebels who then fed his mutilated body to dogs.

Speaking to Britain’s Sunday Times, Agnes-Mariam de la Croix – who is mother superior of the Monastery of St James the Mutilated located between Damascus and Homs – said of the incident which occurred in early December: “They beheaded him, cut him into pieces and fed him to the dogs.”

She says 38-year-old Andrei Arbashe was a newlywed whose wife was about to give birth.

Those who killed him apparently acted after Arbashe’s brother was overheard complaining the rebels were “behaving like bandits.”

The Sunday Times reports:

Sister Agnes-Mariam, who has been keeping a macabre scorecard of such atrocities, believes that his fault, in the eyes of his killers, was his Christian faith.

“The uprising has been hijacked by Islamist mercenaries who are more interested in fighting a holy war than in changing the government,” she told The Sunday Times on a recent visit to Paris. “It’s turned into a sectarian conflict,” she added. “One in which Christians are paying a high price.”

A highly educated Carmelite nun of Palestinian and Lebanese descent, Sister Agnes-Mariam fled Syria over the summer after being warned that she was on the rebels’ “blacklist” for abduction.

She has been on an international tour since then to warn the world about the uprising’s “extremist” drift as the conflict turns into a magnet for Islamist mercenaries from all over the world, including Britain.

No video or still photographs have emerged to document the atrocity, and TheBlaze cannot verify the nun’s account.

Just last month, a Syrian opposition group posted a graphic video which showed a child helping rebels behead a man with a machete.

President Bashar Assad – even while ruling with an iron fist – for the most part protected Syria’s minorities including Christians and Alawites of which Assad himself is a member.

As the bloodletting continues and the Sunni rebel forces have been hijacked by al-Qaeda supporting extremists, Christians fear they won’t be safe in a post-Assad era. They are also worried that if Al Qaeda-inspired Islamist rebels take control, they could establish Sharia law as the law of the land as occurred in Egypt.

The Associated Press reported last week that Syrian Christians were keeping a low profile, afraid to even put up Christmas trees in their homes lest they draw the attention of the jihadis.

“Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Syria’s population of more than 22 million, say they are particularly vulnerable to the violence that has been sweeping the country since March 2011. They are fearful that Syria will become another Iraq, with Christians caught in the crossfire between rival Islamic groups,” wrote the AP.

Since Saddam Hussein was ousted from power in 2003, hundreds of thousands of Christians fled Iraq as Islamic militants targeted them.

Sister Agnes-Mariam characterizes the Syrian Christians’ predicament as being caught between Assad’s Alawites – an offshoot of Shiite Islam – and the opposition Sunnis, like “filling in a sandwich.”

She is sharply critical of western nations for supporting the rebels even though the extremists among them are violating basic human rights. She tells the Sunday Times:

“They want to impose sharia,” said Agnes-Mariam, 60. “It’s a scandal that the free and democratic world is supporting extremists,” she added in a reference to western backing for the coalition.

Some have accused her of being a propagandist for the dictator Assad: her claim that rebel forces were responsible for the Houla massacre in which more than 100 civilians died, half of them children, has been challenged by a United Nations commission of inquiry, which blamed the regime.

The Daily Mail quoted the nun saying that militants wearing Al Qaeda black bandanas recently placed a two-day siege on her monastery to try to prevent Christians from celebrating the Christmas holiday.

She estimates that 300,000 Christians have been displaced since the conflict began in March 2011, including 80,000 forced out of the Homs region.

A new study released on Christmas Eve reported Christianity is in serious danger of being wiped out in the Middle East because of Islamic oppression. The report titled “Christianophobia” said Christians are suffering more persecution around the world than any other religious group mainly due to “Islamic oppression.”

What do you expect from muslims .. violence, slavery, child molestation under the guise of temporary marriage. Muslims cannot be trusted, no matter how educated. Their cult shrinks their brain to a point they can’t think for them selves.. They live by Jihad, Fatwas, and fear of the Imams.

  @ civil
  Yes I believe we are on a very dangerous precipice and civil war could happen. I agree the last election was rife with fraud. There is no need to instigate civil war but I believe there are a lot of people that feel the same way. This is not the U.S.A. whose constitution I swore to protect and defend.
  @ 1776
  If you truly don’t see how close we are to civil discourse which could lead to war then you need to study your history books. This is a country divided and you cannot deny it. What will you do when they come for your fingerprints and photo and tell you to register your guns? Just bow down and give them what they want until you can vote again? Did your vote do any good in November? Romney had all the support, No one was showing up for Obama rally’s yet they all showed up to vote? This is eerily familiar to Hitler. I hope you are at least prepared to defend your self and your family. I do not advocate civil war but I also won’t bury my head in the sand denying it could happen. The violence is already here. Look at the whacko nut job union thugs and you see what they want. Look at what they are letting happen in Chicago. How many murders a day are occurring there because of citizens of a city that let their government infringe upon their 2nd amendment rights. Will you be like them when the feds come knocking? Or will you stand up and fight. Because once they come knocking there is no more voting.

  I can use my imagination like you and come up with a lot of different scenarios that can and may occur long before anything close to a repeat of the American Civil War. I am a conservative, republican, I support the TEA partiers as well, pro gun, believe in Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, a Christian, buy American if you can and that Texas is the best state in the Union. I do not support the Civil War retoric, that is all. You may support it if you like. General Lee didn’t support it either.

  Some people believe the first civil war was about slavery. It was not. Look up the transcripts of lincoln’s speeches in the south when he was running for president. He used the (N) word more than any other polition before him or after. Find out who his campaign manager was and what he thought about black people. He wrote 3 book’s on it. Remember the people who lost the civil war wrote the history on it.

Lincoln was an Abolitionist, which was what the founding of the Republican party was all about.

  Lincoln was an Abolitionist,
  ===========
  
  You are sadly mistaken:
  
  —————-
  “The Corwin Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution passed by the 36th Congress, 2nd Session, on March 2, 1861, in the form of House (Joint) Resolution No. 80. It would forbid subsequent attempts to amend the Constitution to empower the Congress to “abolish or interfere” with the “domestic institutions” of the states, including “persons held to labor or service” (a reference to slavery).”
  
  Abraham Lincoln, in his first inaugural address, said of the Corwin Amendment:
  
  “I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution—which amendment, however, I have not seen—has passed Congress, to the effect that the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service….[H]olding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable.”
  The Corwin Amendment (March 2, 1861)

Christians and Jews around the world are being targeted and attacked for their religious beliefs and the liberal media refuses to report this because in their puny minds, doing so would only serve to aggravate the radical Muslims and that would only lead to more violence. This is typical liberal logic. They don’t bother to learn from thousands of years of history that proves that appeasement has never worked in the past and never will work, just like communism and socialism. Sooner or later, this problem will continue to grow until something real bad happens, like Iran setting off a nuclear weapon in Israel or the United States and then we may finally wake up to the cold hard truth that is right in front of our faces. Muslims are a hateful, hateful religion, hell bent on death to anyone who does not join them.

The thing that gets me is people act surprised when these killing occur in a war torn country. Christians should probably get out of the Middle East at this point. They have not been safe in the Middle East, since the Obama wars started almost three years ago.
Hey don’t rule the US out either, as soon as the Marxist-Leninist lay claim to their global order, Christians won’t be safe there either. The first order of business in most Marxist-Leninist s assimilation’s is to root out and either assimilate or terminate Christians and Jews.

Being Christian does not absolve a man from recognizing he has enemies.

“Pray” for your enemy does not mean pray that he will kill you.

Individual responsibility is at the heart of Christianity. This is the principle the islamists, progressives and communists attack. It is their common goal. Because not one Christian individual will be tolerated in the utopia they imagine.

  HUMBLEMAN… you are right that Christianity will not be tolerated in a Marxist or Islamic based government. But this has to do with Prophesy and must come about for it to be fulfilled. There will be more deaths from both Christians and Jews as they are the “two witnesses” spoken of in Revelation.
  
  ““Pray” for your enemy does not mean pray that he will kill you.”
  
  You are right, pray that God will forgive them (Matthew 5:44) for that was His example upon the Cross, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34)
  
  “Individual responsibility is at the heart of Christianity.”
  
  Here we will have to disagree. What is at the center of Christianity is, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27) these are the greatest Commandments, for all other commandments are found within these two.
  
  By the way… Syrian Orthodox Christians are Catholic. They believe in the Presence of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ and remains permanently within the Eucharist.

I guess this is OK with Obama, as he seems more interested in helping spread Sharia in the Middle East under the guise of overthrowing dictators. And he says he is a Christian. When has he ever spoken out about the persecution of Christians anywhere.
If you know of any, please respond.

  He has allied himself fully with these murderers and terrorists, so how can we expect any mercy from him when he decides to go for broke and use armed force upon anyone who dares to stand against him?

  The republicans have allied themselves with the Syrian rebels, as well. In fact, Romney was very outspoken about arming them. When are you guys going to realize that this is all a game to our political ruling class and that that the republicans and the democrats are two heads of the same coin?

May God’s vengeance be swift to those who martyr God’s own. WHAT GOES AROUND, DOES COME AROUND.

  Read John 3:13. Nowhere in the Bible does it say you will go to heaven. Nowhere!!

  Luke 23:42,43 – King James Version (KJV)
  42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
  
  Jesus did not say he would be in heaven. he used the word “paradise”.
  
  Psalm 37:11 – King James Version (KJV)
  11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
  
  We should not add words to the Bible that are not there, in an effort to make it say what it does not.

  Matthew 6:19-21…..
  
  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

  2 Peter 3:13 tells us…..
  
  But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

  @Hoax and Chains …….a new heaven and a new earth
  
  2 Peter 3:5 For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6.and by those [means] the world a that time suffered destrution when it was deluged with water.
  
  New heavens and new earth. The connection of the “heavens” with ruling power aids in understanding the meaning of the expression “new heavens and a new earth” found at Isaiah 65:17; 66:22 and quoted by the apostle Peter at 2 Peter 3:13 a new heaven and a new earth signify a new government, new kingdom, new people.”
  Even as the “earth” can refer to a society of people so, too, “heavens” can symbolize the superior ruling power or government over such “earth.” The prophecy presenting the promise of “new heavens and a new earth,” given through Isaiah, was one dealing initially with the restoration of Israel from Babylonian exile. Upon the Israelites’ return to their homeland, they entered into a new system of things. Cyrus the Great was used prominently by God in bringing about that restoration. Back in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel (a descendant of David) served as governor, and Joshua as high priest. In harmony with Jehovah’s purpose, this new governmental arrangement, or “new heavens,” directed and supervised the subject people. (2Ch 36:23; Hag 1:1, 14) .

  “Alex Jones is an idiot”
  
  Who supported the bailouts, stimulus, tarp, and the patriot act? Glenn Beck or Alex Jones?
  Who called the tea party racist? Glenn Beck or Alex Jones?
  
  The answer to all of the above is; GLENN BECK
  
  You might not like Alex Jones or what he stands for but, please, stop the hero-worship of Glenn Beck.

  1776 . . . Let me clear thing sup for you. The question was whether Hollywood would make movies denouncing Muslim violence. That’s why I said they could make movies about anything they want, just like anybody else. Perfectly reasonable.
  
  Do you denounce Christian violence?

In the vacuum of governance, the most powerful group will assert itself. In the Middle East, that power is the terrorist groups of radical Islam. This was easily predictable and nobody should be surprised. What bothers me is the morons in Washington are supporting this “peaceful” Arab Spring.

  Sometimes I wonder if they are morons or diabolically evil. One thing is certain. the majority of those in Washington are not enemies of radical Islam, who is identifiable as our enemy. They are not the only ones.

  Interventionism is pervasive in America. See “Gun Control”. We can’t seem to help ourselves on this issue.
