In God's name. Praise be to God. This is Al-Taqwa church and we are arranging it for our Christian brothers.
We don't kill and loot as the regime claims. We respect all religions and now our fighters are arranging the church for our Christian brothers so they can return here in this church.
Now here in Sheikh Maksoud, we pledge not to harm Christians and this church, and we pledge to protect the sacred sites. We respect all the sacred sites.
We Muslims are not terrorists, we respect the sacred sites. Now our fighters are arranging it so our Christian brothers who live here can come again.
- So there are Christian people living here? -- Yes, there are Christian people living here in all this area.
- How many are? -- They are about 500.
- 500 people and all Christians? -- Yes. - Here? -- Some of them fled the shelling, others are still living here.
- Do you guarantee them living conditions as possible? -- We provide bread and food. Regime continues to shell the area but, thanks God, people are coming back.
-- Surely people will return in the coming days, and we pledge to protect it until our Christian brother will take delivery of it. We respect all the holy sites.
