Rebels Forcing Christians To Convert To Islam At Gunpoint - Executing Those That Refuse (Video)

The al-Qaeda linked Syrian rebels that invaded the Christian town of Maalula last week are forcing these peaceful Christians in the holy town to convert to Islam, by gunpoint.
Reports indicate that if a resident refuses, they are executed.
Via Washington Times: They arrived in our town at dawn on Wednesday and shouted ‘We are from the Al-Nusra Front and have come to make lives miserable for the Crusaders,’” an Islamist term for Christians, a woman, who identified herself as Marie, told AFP in Damascus.
The Free Syrian Army (FSA), the group the Obama administration is backing, uploaded videos last week showing them working with the al-Qaeda linked group, to take over the town.
In the video report below, it is said Assad's Syrian Army, which has been protecting the Christians from the rebels,  has re-taken the village, but there are still pockets of resistance.
Note- In Obama's Syria speech on September 10, he referred to the FSA as "moderate opposition," saying "America has worked with allies to provide humanitarian support, to help the moderate opposition, and to shape a political settlement."
That moderate opposition has been shown, via video of the captured ceremony, to have merged with al-Nusra.
Barack Obama never once condemned the forced conversions of these Christians to Islam, nor  the execution of those that refused to do so.
