What happened to the Cross pendants the Syrian nuns had around their necks ?


Do you think the terrorist kidnappers of the nuns.... the lowlives who are in the pay of Saudi Arabia, the USA, UK, France, Turkey and other nations .... do you think they tore those Crosses from the nuns' attire or do you think the terrified nuns have hidden them in order not to antagonize those in the pay of the USA and other supposedly "Judeo-Christian" nations?

Raymond Ibrahim writing at WorldMag:
.....In a new video of the 12 Christian nuns  kidnapped by rebels in Syria (see below), the nuns sit in a room while being questioned by an unseen man, presumably one of the captors. He asks them how they are, if they’ve been mistreated, etc. They respond that they are being treated fine, that they very much look forward to returning to their convent, that they heartily thank the world for its concern, and that they continually pray that God grant peace to all nations.



Their words say one thing, their expressions and demeanor another. Put differently, as female captives of Islamic jihadis, what else could they say but what they were told to say? Even if one of them dared to say the “wrong thing,” their captors naturally would have edited it out. Who knows how many takes it took to get the video—which includes a bizarre clip of the nuns having a snowball fight with their abductors—just right?

But one thing, although minor, speaks volumes about the nature of their captivity: Although these nuns, in photos prior to the kidnapping, generally wear large pectoral crosses, the crosses are not visible in the recent video. No surprise here, considering the “pious” nature of their captors. According to strict Islamic teaching, Christians and other non-Muslims cannot display any signs or expressions of their “polytheism” (shirk in Arabic). Indeed the Conditions of Omar, which mainstream Muslim teaching attributes to the second caliph of the same name, clearly spells this out........
