SYRIA increasing number of reports from Syria talk about the risks of a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam may dominate in much of Syria. When the country now courts whose laws are based on fundamentalist Islam, it is high time for the Swedish government to respond. How much money sends Sweden to the Syrian opposition? lowbrow customs How much of these going to start Islamic courts? wondering journalist Nuri Kino.
"Dear lowbrow customs Nuri, attached is a picture of a court which recently opened by extremists in the village lowbrow customs Kans Abba in my home town of Lattakia. A religious court whose laws are based on fundamentalist Islam. The first trial was held today. They force us all his views on how to live. "
A few days after she sent me the email fled my Syrian colleague to Turkey. She is waiting to be smuggled lowbrow customs to Sweden. To the last, she wanted to stay in the country she was born in and love. But when twelve Islamist groups left the Free Syrian Army, she understood that it will be difficult to live as a moderate Muslim. This fact frightened all secular lowbrow customs Syrian Muslims and non-Muslims as Christian Assyrians / Syriacs much. It is feared that a fundamentalist lowbrow customs interpretation of Islam may dominate in much of Syria.
A few days later I go onto Facebook and see that a friend, historian lowbrow customs Nicholas Al-Jeloo, published a text about a murdered 26-year-old Assyrian man: Assyrian Ninar Odisho. He was killed in his hometown Tabqa in the province of al-Raqqah in Syria.
I picked up the phone and called Al-Jeloo, who is also the Assyrians, born in Australia and has a doctorate in modern Assyrian history and who has worked a lot in the Middle East. On several occasions he has done academic studies in that particular province of al-Raqqah. I wanted to talk to Al-Jeloo because I was curious why Odishos death was so important - it is the war in Syria, and hundreds may die in hostilities in a day.
"The reason I occasionally write about a particular death in Syria is that I want to remind you of vulnerable minorities in the country. The persecution of them has intensified very recently. Murders that are ethnic or religious must be documented. At the beginning of the war in Syria lived more than 200 Christian Assyrian families in the city Tabqa in this province. Almost everyone has fled, most of them to Lebanon. lowbrow customs Some have managed to reach countries like Germany. Others are stuck in countries all over the world because they have been left in the lurch by smugglers who failed to take them to Europe. Three families were left in Tabqa before the assassination of Ninar. The rebels who had taken over the city promised not to harm them. The families could not escape lowbrow customs because they were poor and could not afford the cost of smuggling. They dared not take to the road itself, because it is very dangerous without any traffickers 'protector'. One of the few remaining Assyrians were Ninar Odisho. "
Al-Jeloo've spoken to witnesses who said that the rebels lowbrow customs did not keep his word. Ninar Odisho murdered by extremists because of their Christian faith. To mark their hatred of non-Muslims, they burned a cross on his face. But I still do not understand why murder is so special. Al-Jeloo have an explanation. He believes that Christians are massacred without murdering them is strategically devised by extremists. That each individual case will have to be paid attention to.
"The rebels do not want to openly show that they persecute non-Muslims because they are afraid lowbrow customs that the U.S. and other countries might stop helping them. It sent the money from the West to the Syrian opposition. That is why extremists initially sounds Christians persist in areas they have taken over. But in many places testify now that the remaining Christians lowbrow customs are killed one by one, in silence. The rest escapes then in sheer panic. It is a cynical disgusting, but is a smart move by extremists. That way no one can accuse them of massacres lowbrow customs of non-Muslims. " lowbrow customs
My colleague, the Syrian journalist who fled to Turkey, confirming that it is a thought-out strategy of extremist lowbrow customs groups that have taken over parts of Syria. She is self-born Muslim, grew up in a moderate interpretation of the religion and has now fled the city she was born and grew up in because the extremists requires that all follow a strict interpretation of Islam. Court she sent the picture to have begun to judge women for harsh penalties to those, for example, wore veils. It is not a Syria she recognizes and not a country she wants to live in.
She says I on Youtube to listen to extremist views on Islam and the Syria they want, and in Swedish. She has met with foreign jihadists, including Swedes. I watch clips on Youtube and then get the help of a Palestinian, whose asylum cases for many years, I wrote about, to get in touch with one of the Swedish jihadists.
"Anyone who wants to live in Syria and that
