Esther 4:14-16 – For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and WHO KNOWETH WHETHER THOU ART COME TO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS? [15] Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, [16] Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: AND IF I PERISH, I PERISH.
It was more than 55 years ago I made my last trip to Fez in what was then French Morocco.
I remember riding in the front seat of a carriage behind a horse that apparently had been devouring wet rotten hay and developed a very gaseous stomach. It was also the first time I had been exposed to eating snails in a French Café.
Morocco is now a ‘moderate’ Arab country, but the underlying hatred for the Jews has always been there, and none of them will survive when the western portion of a future Antichrist Caliphate blankets Northern Africa.
I have always hoped I could face a possibility of death as well as Esther!
She has always been an example of a Jew who loved God, and showed her love for Him and his people, even though His name does not appear in the Book of Esther. Now I have ano ther Jewish lady as an example of faith in
the Arutz Sheba excerpt which follows.

Jewish Girl Chooses Decapitation Over Converting to Islam

(IsraelNN.com) Many books h ave been written
about Islam and Dhimmitude. Few, however, have been written about how it was to live as a Jewish Dhimmi under Islamic rule.
In his book, ” The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History”, author Dr. Andrew G. Bostom describes what it was like living as a Jew under Moslem rule. Quoting from Islamic sources and historical records, this 700+ page book provides a plethora of unaltered and complete historical accounts on how Islamic governments treated Christians, Jews, and other ‘infidels’.
Bostom was inspired to focus on the Jewish aspect of history living under the thumb of Islam during research for another book on the Islamic treatment of non-Muslims.
When he came across a quote by Sufi jurist Sirhindi (d. 1621): “Whenever a Jew is killed, it is for the benefit of Islam,” he began researching and recording Jewish experiences under Muslim rule on a scholarly level.
In his August 31 interview on Israel National Radio’s Tamar Yonah Show, he shared the dramatic account of a young Moroccan Jewess in her teens who lived in the 1800′ s, named Sol Hachuel.
Falsely accused on charges of “apostasy” from Islam, she was offered riches and special rights if she embraced
Islam – or prison, torture and death if she did not.
Sol Hachuel chose to be imprisoned, starved, tortured and then decapitated in the town square rather than give up her Judaism. “I was born a Jew, and I shall die a Jew,” she boldly stated to the Islamic court, according to Bostom’s accounts.
On the show, Bostom read her historic speech that inspired the Fez Jewish community to remain committed to their Judaism despite the hardships of constant false charges, unfair heavy taxes, violence and murder.
