In 2015, the Syrian priest Pater Jacques Murad got kidnapped by the so called Islamic State, was he kept captive for over 100 days and was severely abused. Torture and simulated executions were used to renounce his Christian faith. In vain. But instead of rejecting his tormentors and their Muslim faith, since then he preached even more for reconciliation between the religions. After all it was a Muslim farmer from this place, who helped him flee and brought him to safety. After his escape, the Priest was still threatened. Kullmann and Maier met the Priest in his safe house in Italy, later on, they accompanied him to his new effective location in the north of Iraq.
