Muslims Cries Out “We Are Tired Of Islamic Religion” We Need Jesus (Message Of Peace) – CEO Of Arabic TV Network

muslimgirlsThe founder and CEO of a Christian satellite

network that reaches out to refugees fleeing

war-torn Syria and Iraq, is reporting that many

Muslim families are turning to Christianity,

where they encounter a message of peace and

love.

“It’s surprising just how much damage the

Muslim world has done to itself due to this

schism between Sunni and Shiites,” SAT-7’s

Terence Ascott said, according to Mission Network

News Monday. “It raises serious questions. People

were really losing trust in

organized religion.”

He added that ongoing attacks instigated by

the Islamic State and other terror groups are

only part of the long-standing conflicts in the

Muslim world, along with the age-old divide

between Sunnis and Shiites.

“It’s quite a huge problem for Islam in general

— this conflict that is going on — because it

has turned people away from Islam,” Ascott

said.

“In the wake of that, comes Christian

broadcasting with a message of peace,

reconciliation, love; and we’re presenting a God

who makes sense to people who turn their

back on violence being done in the name of

God by one faction of Islam to another.”

SAT-7 produces various programs that reach

Arabic-speaking audiences, from Bible-based

inspirationals, to educational programs

targeted at young children at refugee camps to

teach them Arabic, English and Math.

Rita El Mounayer, the chief channels and

communications officer at SAT-7, told The

Christian Post back in February, “We feel that this

is the time that we can contribute to the

wellbeing of a human being, no matter if he’s

Christian, or a Muslim. Our mission is to present

God’s love to many, to present Jesus’ salvation

to many, and at the same time to try and work

for the wellbeing of a person.”

“To try and give them a second chance in life.

And this second chance, we believe, is in

education. Because when you educate a child,

they will grow up to think, to analyze, to have

opportunity to go to university, find a job, get

married, have kids, and have dignity in their own

societies.”

Ascott said SAT-7’s programming goes out in

areas that are served mostly by Islamic-friendly

stations, calling it a “battle for hearts and

minds” among satellite television services.

“It is quite amazing how aggressive the

different stations are and this battle of the

airwaves is reflected in the growth in numbers

of channels,” he said.

There have been numerous stories of Muslims

converting to Christianity in the ongoing

refugee crisis, which has seen millions of

people from Syria and the surrounding region

make their way toward Europe.

Back in September, a church in Berlin, a city

with a notable refugee intake, said its

membership jumped from 150 to 600 in a short

time due to new Muslim converts.

Pastor Gottfried Martens of Trinity Church in

Berlin said at the time that some people might

be converting to bolster their chances of

staying in Germany, but he welcomed all

regardless.

“I know there are — again and again —

people coming here because they have some

kind of hope regarding asylum,” Martens said.

“I am inviting them to join us because I know

that whoever comes here will not be left

unchanged.”
