Despite dangers of attacks, many Syrian Muslims have converted to Christianity after escaping their war-torn country.

According to USA Today, Bishop George Saliba, a clergyman who is stationed in Lebanon, reported that he has baptized approximately 100 Muslim Syrian refugees since the war in Syria started in 2011.

Unlike in other Muslim-majority countries that strictly prohibit religion change — particularly Syria, Iraq, and Egypt — in Lebanon, the constitution allows faith conversion.

Abu Radwan, one of Bishop Saliba's converts, said that Jesus appeared to him in a dream two years ago. "I started going to the church," Radwan shared. "I believed that Jesus was coming to help us, to save us."

Seven months after his vision, he converted to Christianity. Born to a Muslim family, Radwan admitted that it was a difficult decision to make. When the civil war in Syria began, he fled from his home in the city of Homs to Lebanon with his wife and two children.

Many question the intentions of refugees, as the number of those who changed their religion has escalated. Many believe that the main motivation of their faith conversion lies in their need for assistance and desire to achieve permanent residence in Western countries.

Bishop Saliba countered this belief, stating that even though he does not stop an individual from converting to Christianity, he does try to assess the validity and genuineness of their intentions.

"When I see a person wishes to be Christian, I don't stop him," he stated, adding, "But we try to test him."

Meanwhile, at another church in Beirut, a pastor teachers biblical texts to Syrian refugees. The cleric asked for anonymity for his identity and his church for fear of retribution from radical Islamist groups.

"The Lord said go and teach them. I'm leading them in the Bible," the pastor told USA Today. "I'm teaching them Christian doctrines."

Even though the cleric refused to disclose the number of refugees who have converted to Christianity in his church, he did reveal that he facilitates many Bible study sessions for refugees in Lebanon.

The pastor also clarified that while his church does not force refugees to change their faith, it offers hospitality to those in need.

Radwan said that he believes being a Christian gives him an advantage. "I want to get out of Lebanon," he admitted. "I want to emigrate. I've tried all ways."

His conversion, however, significantly puts his life and his family's at risk. A week before his interview with USA Today, Radwan was assaulted on his way home from the church. He was stabbed on his torso.

Despite the encounter, Radwan does not regret his change of religion. "I was relieved when I was baptized," he said, adding, "If I die, now, here in front of the church, I will die in peace."
