Syrian Rebels Did Not Behead Franciscan Priest--They Shot Him 8 Times

(CNSNews.com) – A Catholic priest slain in Syria last month was not one of the three men seen being beheaded in a video clip posted online – but he was killed by anti-Assad rebels, who gunned him down as he tried to defend nuns at a monastery.
A representative of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land told CNSNews.com that Francois Murad had been “killed by eight bullets.”
She said a Franciscan from the Custody had gone to the site – St. Anthony’s Monastery in Ghassanieh – on the day Murad was killed, June 23, and had taken his body for burial later the same day in Knayeh, a village nearby.
“He also took the Catholic religious women of the village who were still in Ghassanieh, in order to find them a place more secured.”.......“Islamists attacked the monastery, ransacking it and destroying everything,” Pizzaballa said in an earlier statement. “When Father Francois tried to resist, defending the nuns, rebels shot him.” .....…ToRead More….. 

My Take  - The question that doesn't seem to be asked here is this; what was he protecting the nun from?  Since Islam gives men all sorts of reasons that justify rape; and since Islamists have demonstrated a penchant for rape; I think it is fair to assume that was what he was protecting them from.  Nah....how could I think that?  Foolish me.....I forgot.....this is the 'religion of peace'.  And I know that is true because George Bush told me so!
