SOLIDARITY
This symbol has gone
from a mark of destruction for Christians living in Mosul in southern
Iraq to a badge of solidarity by Christians elsewhere highlighting
the persecution and killings by the Islamic State Army.
The sign is in fact the
14 th. Letter of the Arabic alphabet equivalent to our letter N, the
first letter of NASARA or Nazarene the term by which Christians are
called by Muslims. The IS Army scrawled this letter on dwellings
occupied by Christians and then threatened the inhabitants to convert
to Islam or be killed!
The term intended as a
mark of shame by IS but has been taken up by Believers all around the
world who are standing up in solidarity with their persecuted
brothers and sisters.
