These Syrian Christians fled Muslim extremist harassment. Then they found it again in Germany.http://www.pri.org/stories/2016-07-13/t ... d-it-again...
Another member of the church, Wassim Awad, worked as a veterinarian in Mishirfe, a village of Christians and Alawites also near Homs. Awad says his village supported the Syrian government. Opposition rebels surrounded the village, and Christians and Alawites in his village were kidnapped and killed, he says.
So Awad left for Germany, and says he ended up at a
refugee shelter where the majority of the refugees were
Sunni Muslims.
Awad says he overheard some of them boasting that they weren’t fleeing persecution, but that they were there to spread political Islam in Europe.
“Daesh is Islam,” Awad says he overheard some of them saying, in praise of the ISIS group.
“Jabhat Al-Nusra is good,” he says he heard some say, too,
referring to the al-Qaeda affiliate.
Once, Awad approached a police officer stationed at the refugee shelter.
“I told him,
‘We came from Syria. We are fleeing ISIS and al-Nusra. And you put us with ISIS and al-Nusra,’ ” Awad says.
“The police said, ‘It’s Germany. They have right to free speech. There’s nothing we can do,’” he says.
