ISIS Kidnaps Over 100 Christian Families; Human Rights Groups Fear They Will Be Beheaded or Forced Into Sex Slavery/Православие.Ru ISIS Kidnaps Over 100 Christian Families; Human Rights Groups Fear They Will Be Beheaded or Forced Into Sex Slavery August 7, 2015    A Syrian refugee holds onto his daughter as he pleads to cross into Turkey at Akcakale border gate in Sanliurfa province, Turkey, June 15, 2015.      The Islamic State terrorist group has abducted scores of Syrian Christian families in what has been deemed the terrorist organization " s biggest military advance since it conquered the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra in May. According to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights , IS captured the town of al-Qaryatain in the Homs district of western Syria on Thursday and took numerous Christian families hostage. The militants began their attack on the town after jihadi suicide bombers took out checkpoints at the entrance of the city. After a night of battle with Assad regime fighters, IS took control of the town which was once a destination for many Christians and religious minorities to flee to after the militants took over the city of Aleppo. SOHR estimates that at least 230 people have been captured by the terror group, including Christians and Muslims. It is believed that of the captured, 45 are women and 19 are children. The report adds that those kidnapped were on a checklist of Christian families that was prepared by IS. Some of the kidnapped victims were abducted from the Syriac Catholic Mar Elian monastery in the town. Nuri Kino, founder of the Syrian and Iraqi Christian advocacy group A Demand for Action, told Christian Today that many of the Christians abducted belong to Syriac Orthodox or Syriac Catholic churches, and that the number of known people kidnapped is likely to keep rising. Diana Yaqco, a spokesperson for A Demand for Action, told MailOnline that about 300 families were able to flee. But since the IS has taken up the practice of sexually enslaving the religious minority women and killing the religious minority men in the territories it captures, there is fear that the same could happen for these Christians and religious minorities that were abducted.

Arhiva Preafericitul Patriarh Kiril: Susinerea natalitii trebuie s devin o prioritate pentru stat, Biseric i organizaiile obteti 8 februarie 2012 18:38 „Este imposibil s rezolvm problemele demografice fr susinerea familiei”, - a declarat V.V. Putin în cadrul întâlnirii cu liderii comunitilor tradiionale religioase ale Rusiei, care a avut loc pe 8 februarie la mnstirea sfântul cneaz Daniil din Moscova. Remarcând c susinerea familiei este ”o preocuparea tradiional a organizaiilor religioase”, premierul Federaiei Ruse i-a exprimat disponibilitatea „de a orienta toate structurile de stat spre o colaborare activ cu asociaiile religioase” în aceast sfer. „Nu pot s nu susin propunerea Patriarhului Moscovei i al întregii Rusii despre organizarea centrelor de susinere a familiei în fiecare centru orenesc i municipal, - a continuat candidatul la postul de preedinte al Federaiei Ruse. – Biserica Otodox Rus a organizat la Moscova Casa Mamei. Astfel de structuri trebuie s fie cât mai multe. Astfel de centre de susinere a familiei trebuie s fie create în fiecare subiect, în fiecare municipiu i anume cu participarea Bisericii Ortodoxe Ruse, a altor confesiuni tradiionale, organizaii religioase i ONG-uri de orientare social. Organele puterii la toate nivelurile trebuie s contribuie la crearea i activitatea acestor organizaii”. „Noi avem câteva posibiliti de a schimba situaia radical”, - a declarat, continuând tema crizei demografice abordat de prim-ministru, Preafericitul Patriarh al Moscovei i al întregii Rusii Kiri. Întâistttorul a amintit c, potrivit datelor oficiale, în anul 2011 la 1 mln. 814 mii de copii nscui revine 1 mln. 230 mii de avorturi, pe deasupra numrul real al acestora din urm ar putea fi de trei ori mai mare. „Astzi opinia public înclin spre faptul c a face sau nu a face avort este alegerea femeii. Îns, chiar respectând o astfel de alegere, statul care este îngrijorat de starea demografiei, trebuie s se gândeasc la faptul cum s fac ca aceast alegere în favoarea avortului s se reduc considerabil”, - a subliniat Preafericitul Printe. „Este important ca la aceeai televiziune, în mijloacele mass-media s fie propagat natalitatea, s fie susinut prin diferite ci, pentru ca aceasta s devin prioritate în activitatea noastr - atât a statului, a instituiilor publice, cât i a Bisericii”, - a continuat Întâistttorul. Preafericitul Kiril a propus elaborarea unui program pentru regiunile depresive din punct de vedere demografic, program care ar asigura un suport material familiilor cu muli copii. “În acest context, ca i în privina susinerii femeilor care renun la avort, Biserica face astzi multe. Eu cunosc c i celelalte organizaii religioase fac. Noi suntem de acord ca împreun cu statul s participm la realizarea acestor programe”, - a spus în încheiere Preafericitul Patriarch Kiril.

Обращение в рабство пленников являлось своеобразной формой эксплуатации одних племенных общностей другими. Это означает, что социальное неравенство у восточных славян не имело еще внутренних стимулов и было локализовано в области межплеменных отношений. Нельзя также забывать, что в пленениях находило выражение также превосходство сверхчувственных потенций того или иного этнического образования над своими соседями. Следовательно, побудительные мотивы полонов возникали не только в материальной, но и в духовной сфере. Раб-пленник являлся наиболее древней фигурой зависимого люда на территории, занятой восточным славянством. Естественно предположить, что в древнерусских письменных источниках он должен быть упомянут прежде, чем какой-нибудь представитель иных групп зависимого населения. И вот тут наше внимание привлекают термины «челядь», «челядин». К вопросу о челяди на Руси конца IX – начала XI века Более полувека назад занятый изучением российских древностей Б. Д. Греков как-то заметил, что понятия «челядин» и «челядь» в исторической литературе «всегда относились к важнейшим объектам исследования». 332 И он нисколько не преувеличивал: не было и нет сколько-нибудь заметного исследователя общественного строя Древней Руси, который оставил бы в стороне вопрос о челяди. Высказывания отечественных историков о челяди конца IX-haчaлa XI в. можно разделить на две точки зрения. Согласно первой из них, челядь – это рабы, а соответственно второй за челядью скрывались не только рабы, но и люди нерабской зависимости, которую советские историки определяли как феодальную. 333 Представители последней точки зрения большое значение придавали этимологическим данным, касающимся слова «челядь». В этом слове, по мнению Б. Д. Грекова, «отражена история общественных отношений с очень отдаленной поры. Челядь, человек, колено (в смысле поколения), литовское keltis, латышское kilts – это слова одного корня, которые ведут нас к глубокой старине, когда keltis и kilts значило – genus, Geschlecht, т,е. род. Этот же термин на новой ступени общественного развития у болгар, русских, чехов и др. стал обозначать семью, детей, у арабов – женщину в семье и зависимых людей, детей. Соответствуя понятию familia, этот термин менял свое содержание вместе с историей familia, в состав которой первоначально входили домашние рабы, а с течением времени все чаще и чаще стали входить и нерабы». 334 Понятие familia послужило Б. Д. Грекову ключом к разгадке термина «челядь».

По крайней мере язычник Пакат в своем панегирике Феодосию I говорит о gemitus et tormenta miserorum. (У Kurtz, Hand. der Kirchgesch, I, 2, стр. 235). Присциллиан и некоторые из его приверженцев были казнены; другие сосланы в заточение. Присциллиане были первые еретики, против которых была употреблена смертная казнь, которая вызвала протест у многих благочестивых и благородных мужей. Так, например, против этой казни высказался св. Амвросий Медиоланский (Ер. 24 ad Valentinianum); Мартин Турский открыто называл эту казнь новым и неслыханным злодеянием (novum esse et inauditum nefas, si causam ecclesiae judex saeculi judicaret. Sul. Sev. 1. c ). Сульпиций Север говорит в своей Historia sacra (c. 50), что ему одинаково не нравятся как обвиняемые, так и обвинители (ае mea quidem sententia est mihi tam reos, quam accusatores displicere). Были, впрочем, и за эту казнь. В этом смысле высказался бл. Августин (de mendacio ad Concent. c. 3) и св. Лев Великий (Ер. XV, 1). См. о Присциллиане трактат в новом издании патрологии Fessler’a (II, I, 219–234). 25 Сыны обетования – filii promissionis – по мнению Арендта суть не что иное как духовные христиане – πνευματικο [Испр. – Ред. АВ] гностиков (стр. 220). 26 Св. Лев излагал и опровергал мнения Присциллиана по Commonitorium’y и посланию, но не по тому посланию, которое в этой главе называется «дружественным» (familiaris), а другому, о котором говорится в конце XVI гл. 15 письма: Decusis omnibus quae libelli series comprehendit et a quibus commonitorii forma non discrepat и т.д., а также в предисловии: Nam et epistolae (familiaris гл. XVII) sermo, et communitorii series et libelli и т.д. et libbelli textus eloquitur. Послание (libellus) и коммониториум, по которому св. Лев излагал ересь Присциллиана, состояли из 16 глав (16-ю главу он называет «последней») и содержали 16 заблуждений Присциллиана. 17-е заблуждение, приводившее многих в недоумение (откуда св. Лев взял его, если Туррибий написал ему только о 16-ти заблуждениях?) вероятно взято из epistola familiaris, которое часто смешивали с тем, что св.

Activist: Rebels Robbing Homes, Desecrating Churches in Kessab Latakia, Syria, March 23, 2014 Rebels in Kessab Around 400 families from Kessab have taken refuge in Latakia following attacks on their town, while the fate of several individuals who have stayed behind remains unclear, the Armenian Weekly has learned. “Many Armenian families are staying with relatives and friends, while others have sought refuge in the Armenian Church and the church’s hall,” said Syrian Armenian community activist Nerses Sarkissian during a phone interview with Weekly editor Khatchig Mouradian. “The Aleppo Armenian Prelacy as well as the Red Crescent are providing relief and assistance to these families in Latakia,” Sarkissian added. Rebels engage in robbery and desecration Rebels who have entered Kessab are desecrating churches, pillaging houses, and destroying government buildings, Sarkissian told the Weekly. A few Syrian Armenians have been unable to leave Kessab, and their fate is unclear, he added. Sarkissian underlined that the rebels came from the Turkish side of the border and are receiving support from the Turkish military. He noted that the injured among them are being transported back to Turkey to receive medical attention. Assad ‘reassures’ Aram Catholicos Syria’s ambassador to Lebanon visited Catholicos Aram I in Antelias on March 22, conveying to him Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s assurances that peace will be restored in Kessab. A delegation of priests left Antelias for Latakia on March 23 to assess needs and express the Catholicosate’s solidarity with the displaced population of Kessab. Turkey downs Syrian fighter jet Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed reports that the Turkish military had shot down Syrian fighter jet. The fighter jet crashed in Kessab. According to Ankara, it came under fire after crossing the Turkish border. Meanwhile, clashes continued. “According to a military source, units of the armed forces have since morning been directing fatal strikes to the terrorist groups which infiltrated the border from Turkey in Kassab area, inflicting heavy losses upon them,” reported the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on March 23. Perched in the northwestern corner of Syria, near the border with Turkey, Kessab had, until very recently, evaded major battles between the army and rebels. Many Syrians had taken refuge there because of the relative calm in the area over the past three years. 24 марта 2014 г. Смотри также Комментарии Мы в соцсетях Подпишитесь на нашу рассылку
