My Way News - Syria militants claim Christians agreed to pay tax
My Way News reports: "Militant fighters should not impose an Islamic tax on Christians in Syria, a radical Jordanian preacher facing terrorism charges said Thursday, days after an al-Qaida breakaway group in Syria claimed Christian leaders under its control agreed to pay the tax in return for protection. [...] The authenticity of the two-page document circulating online since Wednesday could not be independently verified [...] It said the Christian leaders opted for paying the tax when they were asked to choose one of three options: convert to Islam, remain Christian and pay the tax or 'refuse and be considered warriors who will be confronted with the sword of the Islamic State.'"

Comment: Please join me in praying for Christians in Syria, they are facing difficult times.
