ISIS members marched into a Syrian town Friday evening demanding that all crosses be removed from the churches or have the buildings be completely destroyed, according to the Assyrian Patriotic Party.
Two trucks carrying 20 armed ISIS members stormed into the predominantly Assyrian town of Tel Hormizd in Hassakeh and forced the residents to remove the cross from the main church tower. Hassakeh, an area made up of five Assyrian villages, is locatedd on the Khabur River.
ISIS militants threatened to bomb the church if the cross was not removed.
“We are calling on the world to stop this next genocide of Christians in Iraq and Syria,” Emanuel Khoshaba, Secretary General of the Assyrian Patriotic Party, said to LisaDaftari.com in a phone interview.

Tolerance under Islam - It’s a Blast.
Obama, Clinton and McCain created this.
Any accountability in the US?
When the Nazis required that the Jews wear yellow patches, professing Christians wore yellow patches in support of the Jews and to thumb their noses at the Nazis. If “peaceful” Muslims wanted to show their opposition to ISIS, they would put crosses on their mosques in support of the people of the injils and to thumb their noses at ISIS.
No, I’m not holding my breath.
They are moderates.
Otherwise they would have just blasted it.
That’s what bearded savages do. 0 could have eliminated them if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to.
The history lesson is that takes a crusade to stop this kind of BS.
The message is clear. Is the world listening?
They have no problem destroying churches, beheading Christians, burning Christians alive...but OH! OH! Let’s not offend ISIS by calling them terrorists! Oh no they called us terrorists! Boo hoo hoo hoo!
Coexist?
But it has nothing to do with Islam.
The locals need to get all Nigerian on their asses.
This is only a few militant fanatics. The vast majority of Islamists would yawn at this, but not laugh except behind their hands.
The ACLU demands that Christian crosses be taken down from publicly owned lands/places.
How soon before THEY begin to use violence (thru the state) for ALL Crosses are removed from not only state lands/places but on private lands/place so that certain groups(atheists) are not offended??
Unless the “peaceful” Muslims can separate from the others,then they all need to be sent packing. We don’t have the time & means to separate the 2 groups...which supposedly are distinct from each other.
“demanding that all crosses be removed from the churches”
Coming soon to a church near you.
