Read articles about what is going on throughout Syria, and then tell me if you were an innocent civilian you wouldn't be afraid.
So you only care about the 13 nuns and not the 1,000 women held captive by Assad's government forces? .....
If the women belong to Al Qaeda and, therefore, terrorists killing innocent civilians, of course I don't care about them. As for the nuns, did you overlook what it said in the article and that even the Muslims, unlike you, want them released.
The nuns said they had been taken for their personal safety, the Associated Press reported. Security analysts generally consider such videos to be suspect because captives may be speaking under duress.
The case has caused deep consternation among Christian communities in the Middle East and worldwide, with Christian and Muslim religious leaders pleading for the nuns release. On Wednesday, Pope Francis called for prayers on behalf of the Syrian nuns taken by force by armed men.
The seizure of the nuns has heightened fears among Syrias Christian minority that they are being targeted by Islamist rebels seeking to overthrow the government of President Bashar Assad. Christians and other Syrian minorities are generally viewed as supportive of the government.
Meanwhile, Sunni Man, can you ask your friends what happened to the Bishops mentioned in the article?
Hostage-taking and kidnapping, often with sectarian overtones, have become defining characteristics of Syrias more than 2-year-old civil conflict. The fate of two kidnapped Christian bishops, believed seized by opposition forces in April, remains publicly unknown.
