Two weeks ago the State Department officially declared the extinction of Christians and other minority religious groups by ISIS a genocide. Unfortunately, despite making the declaration Secretary of State John Kerry also announced the Obama administration wouldn't be changing military strategy in Iraq and Syria in order to stop it.

Now, adding horror the the ongoing nightmare for Christians trapped in the region, ISIS is holding at least 43 Christian families hostage in Raqqa and will not allow them to leave.

ISIS is not allowing Christians to leave. They will probably be tortured and killed.

Obama and Kerry think this is fine. They are saying nothing and taking no action.

The only hope for the Christians is if the Russians rescue them.

Raqqa will be cut off and surrounded within 60 days. ISIS might be using people as human shields.

Not a doubt in my mind that Obama and Kerry hate Christians and Jews. I believe as well that they will have to atone to their maker.

“I believe as well that they will have to atone to their maker. “

The only atonement for their sin is at the cross.

I never did well with grammar lessons but that is one miserable, convoluted headline.

“ISIS refuses to let Christians leave Raqqa”

Much beter.
