Syria: Islamic regime forces burn Saint Michael Greek Orthodox Church in Sawara
Al-Sharaa’s forces are trying to terrorize the Christians (and other religious minorities) into abandoning the country. This kind of action is how “the Islamic world” was created.
Al-Julani’s Forces Loot and Burn Greek Orthodox Church in Southern Syria, Targeting Christians and Druze
by Bill Giannopoulos, Greek City Times, July 16, 2025:
Al-Surah Al-Kabira, As-Suwayda Governorate – In a violent escalation in southern Syria, fighters loyal to Abu Muhammad al-Julani looted and set fire to the Church of San Michel, a Greek Orthodox church, in the village of Al-Surah Al-Kabira, located in the northern As-Suwayda Governorate, on July 15, 2025. The attack has intensified sectarian tensions in the region, with both Christian and Druze communities targeted.
Local sources report that the assault on the church, a significant religious site for the area’s Greek Orthodox Christian population, is part of a broader pattern of aggression by al-Julani’s Sunni militant group against non-Sunni populations. The destruction of the Christian holy site has drawn condemnation from community leaders, who see it as a direct attack on religious coexistence in the region.
Sectarian hostilities are not new to al-Julani’s forces, who have previously clashed with other religious groups, including Alawites in western Syria. Analysts suggest that these actions reflect deep-seated sectarian divisions, with al-Julani’s group reportedly showing intolerance toward those who do not share their Sunni beliefs….
Syria: ‘General Security’ official says
‘Every Druze must be killed’
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham should not have been removed from the list of terrorist organizations, and Trump should not have treated al-Sharaa as if he were a legitimate leader. U.S. policy toward Syria must make a sharp reversal, or yet again we are aiding those who have a desire to conquer and subjugate us.

Indonesia: Muslim cleric orders church shut down after ten years of operation
In the Islamic scheme of things, the Islamic community must always grow, and the non-Muslim community always diminish. In this case, the pretext appears to be the fact that a Muslim woman converted to Christianity; Islam forbids non-Muslims to proselytize among Muslims. This woman says Jesus appeared to her in a dream, but apparently even Jesus Himself is forbidden to proselytize as far as this imam is concerned.
Imam Orders Church to Stop Worship After 10 Years
International Christian Concern, July 10, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
7/10/2025 Indonesia (International Christian Concern) — After pastoring his church in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, for more than a decade, Pastor “Matias” was recently ordered to stop leading worship services.
The order came from a new imam at a mosque that sits just 55 yards from the church. More than 40 people attend the services, which are held in a structure next to Matias’s home.
The imam claimed that the services were disturbing villagers. Anger toward Matias stems from an event that occurred four years ago, which has since angered the Muslim community. It was then that a Muslim woman visited Matias’s church, explaining that Jesus had appeared to her in her dreams. She came to the church to give her life to Christ and be baptized.
After news of the woman’s conversion and baptism spread and anger toward Matias boiled over, several Muslim men visited the pastor. They accused him of trying to convert the entire village to Christianity.
The woman later told the men that Pastor Matias wasn’t the one who baptized her and didn’t pressure her to leave Islam. She said she put her trust in Christ on her own volition.
After the imam prohibited Matias from leading worship, word spread that a group of Muslim men would prevent the church from hosting services. After hearing this, members of the Dayak tribe, an indigenous group to which Pastor Matias belongs, attempted to meet with the imam but were unable to locate him.
Despite being animists, the Dayak tribe visited the church and stayed the night to help guard it. Fortunately, the group of Muslim men did not show up….
