Homs, (SANA) When looking at images of Oum al-Zennar Church in Homs Old City before and after terrorists passed through it, the contrast can be quite jarring. The wounded church stands today as a testament to the hate-fueled Wahabi mentality of the terrorist groups wreaking havoc in Syria.

The Church, whose Arabic name means “she who bears the girdle” in reference to the Virgin Mary and the Girdle of Thomas, the relic which the Virgin Mary gave to Saint Thomas the Apostle before her assumption to heaven, can now be rebuilt anew after the terrorists who desecrated it have fled Homs Old City.
