Priest-monk Irineos writes about a mother of 5 children who was killed by her own children. The reason was devotion to Christianity, which is why the Orthodox Church accepted him as a martyr.
“The Orthodox Church has a new martyr!
At the age of 46, Arab Orthodox Rasha (Muklasha), a follower of radical Islam, was abducted by his three sons in a car and strangled by a rope on the banks of the Jordan River in Nazareth…
The sons offered the mother a choice before death: death or denying Jesus Christ, the mother chose Jesus Christ and wore the crown of martyrdom with the hands of her own children!” – writes Irineos.
The incident happened on the territory of Israel. According to Times of Israel, the 27-year-old, 23-year-old and 20-year-old sons of the deceased have been detained. So far, only the eldest son admits to the crime and claims that he committed the murder alone.
Rasha Muklasha was the wife of an Arab Muslim who had 5 children. He left his wife and children in 2006, rejected Islam and converted to Christianity. After the death of her ex-husband, she restored her relationship with her children. It seems that the sons did not forgive their mother for the “crime” and planned to kill her. The case was classified as intentional murder.
