Syrian Nonviolence Movement

 SUAD NOFAL stands before the jihadist-occupied municipal building of Raqqa, Syria, with her protest sign. Suad Nofal has stood there every afternoon at five o'clock, ever since the jihadist abductions of Father Paolo and activist Firas al-Haj Saleh. 

Silent and powerful, Suad Nofal protests there daily against Raqqa's tyrants (the Replacement Tyrants, replacing the regime), the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria"

Suad Nofal has stood there every afternoon at five o'clock, ever since the jihadist abductions of Father Paolo and activist Firas al-Haj Saleh. 

Silent and powerful, Suad Nofal protests there daily against Raqqa's tyrants (the Replacement Tyrants, replacing the regime), the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (Da'esh/ISIS).  

Suad marches each day from her home to the headquarters carrying a protest sign through the streets to make this stand in the name of civilian resistance, and the activist group Free Women of Raqqa. 

Yesterday her sister Rimal found a note at home, scrawled by her sister, that said, "Forgive me." Rimal, who has herself suffered imprisonment and torture at the hands of the "jihadists' Sharia Court," ran to Da'esh headquarters to save her sister, whom she found ringed by armed Da'esh fighters trying to tear the protest poster from Suad's hands. 

The poster held up yesterday by Suad (a Sunni Muslim woman of Syria) says: "State of Evil, Churches are Houses for the Worship of God Almighty--Signed, Free Women of Raqqa," with an intertwined cross and crescent, referring to the churches desecrated by the jihadists the prior day.

The armed men, who are reportedly Tunisian, tried to take Suad's sign from her forcibly. Suad resisted, clinging to the poster, which was torn to pieces that were rescued by Rimal (see photo, right).

Rimal managed to yank Suad away from the ring of fighters, who fired shots to terrorize the two women. 

The Da'esh jihadists then threatened Suad Nofal with assassination should she make her daily stand against Da'esh again. 

Syrians, world, DO NOT LET SUAD NOFAL STAND ALONE. SUAD STANDS FOR US ALL.
