While stories of Islamic State terrorists destroying lives and cities
dominates the headlines, there are a number of Muslims offering hope to
their persecuted Christian neighbors.
One of those peaceful Muslims is Marwan, a man from Mosul who decided
to build a cross for his Christian neighbors after ISIS pummeled their
church to dust.
Jeremy Courtney from Preemptive Love Coalition, an organization that
provides humanitarian aid to communities in Iraq, posted a video on
Facebook explaining why Marwan did this.
"When
Marwan came into this church, he couldn't accept the fact that these
other guys who claimed to be Muslims were rampaging through this place,
destroying the signs and icons of his Christian friends, his Christian
compatriots, his Christian neighbors. And so, our Muslim friend Marwan
helps fashion this cross together," Courtney says in the video.
"Marwan's faith and kindness is something to be honored," Courtney added. "These aren't stories that we hear enough."
An Iraqi Muslim built a
cross out of two pieces of metal, sending a message that Iraqi Muslims
don’t stand for extremist Islamic ideology and that they support the
Christians of the nation. The man, Marwan, fashioned the cross during a
visit to one of the churches that was destroyed by ISIS. Marwan’s aim
was to echo the unvoiced message that numerous Muslims wanted to send
their Christian friends – a message of encouragement and support.
