Syrian Atheists

September 3.

Muhammad Abyad was a proud Syrian Atheists, member of our network, secular anti Assad activist, compassionate doctor and above all a very dear friend.

Muhammad graduated last spring from medical school, had a girlfriend and could have stayed in turkey but he chose to work with doctors without borders in Hot Zones in the north of Syria. He was kidnapped before by islamic extremists and was threatened many times for his anti theist views that he wasn't afraid express publicly. Today facebook pages started reporting that islamist extremists kidnapped him and killed him.

He was the first to go out in peaceful demonstrations and the first to attend to the injured. I would not exaggerate if I called him a true humanist angle with absolute selflessness.

Only two days ago we were talking about him coming out on the page. I can't begin to describe my sadness and I'm not shy of shedding tears for this fallen hero. He was concerned about human rights abuse in every country and used to say I'm a citizen of the world only for these sub-human murderous muslims to come and rob him of the his most basic right, the right to live.

I hope people who interacted with him on this page will share my sentiments when I say although he might be gone but he will live eternally in our memories as the atheist hero, the healer, freedom fighter and our beloved friend.
