Islamic State terrorists have begun their promised killing of Christians in Mosul, and they have started with the children. According to a report via CNN, a Chaldean-American businessman has said that killings have started in Mosul and children's heads are being erected on poles in a city park.

"There is a park in Mosul," Mark Arabo told CNN during a Skype interview from San Diego, "where they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick and have them in the park."

Arabo, who is a prominent Chaldean-American businessman and met with other leaders of his community in the White House last week, has called upon American political leaders to grant asylum to about 300,000 Christians fleeing the ISIS invasion.

"The world hasn't seen this kind of atrocity in generations," he told CNN. He's mostly correct. Although genocides have happened repeatedly throughout history, including famous genocides in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, as well as Cambodia, the genocide perpetrated against Christians and other minorities is extreme, partly because it is being gleefully publicized.

The terrorists who have invaded Mosul and other ancient Christian communities in Syria and Iraq have made music videos of themselves murdering civilians and captured soldiers. They are literally enjoying the act of killing and the fear and suffering experienced by others. This sadism may be the purest manifestation of evil witnessed since the Rape of Nanking

Yes, it’s hard. I must say I’ve grown hardened over the last few years looking at these atrocities - I feel the way prosecutors must feel when they look at crime photos.

What kind of men do this? I think of our founding fathers, the men who settled the west, our husbands and brothers, and then compare them to these beasts from the pit of hell.

I hear what you are saying.

I sat up all night with a holocaust survivors from the Lower East Side and heard their stories, incited by their chronic insomnia. Have, in nursing, taken care of 90 year old women with tattoos etched into their arms by hand - freehand.

the Holocaust happened. They killed children, they killed Mr. Goldberg’s parents and siblings in front of him. I was glad to be of any help to him, and I will tell anyone what I saw, the reactions and remnants of mans inhumanity to man.

And I have been on the receiving end of Saddam H. bombs, I know they are trying to kill us. I know they hate us and I know they are capable of and glad to kill people in all sorts of horrible ways.

No one needs to tell me what I need to see, and I know that some people can have a full understanding, as much as they need to, while still going about taking care of tasks at hand, when horror and disturbance cannot help, while instructing anyone who will hear, that the Iranians and these guys would kill our children in the same manner, and that anything is possible.

The most important thing is being vigilant to protect this country. And certainly not with denial and cowardice.

Oh wait, they probably won’t have anything about this.

Saddam Hussein regime and the Assad regime both tortured and killed children.

We’re so stunned at these examples of what they do to woman and children....but their ideology permits this as more than reasonable ‘for them’...... Until the “minds and hearts” are changed by the true God these will continue. It IS their culture and beliefs.

The world is and can be outraged but that is not enough for “them” to change how they view these atrocities...The ‘believe’ their lives should be so and desire this as well. The Koran and their Islamic instructors support them.

So what changed by us getting involved in their overthrow.

It’s the Middle East, they will always have madmen running it.

You have been a witness to horror so you, perhaps, don’t need to see these photos. That’s completely understandable. But so many people don’t take “a peek” (like my husband) and then have a skewed view of the horrors - you know, well, maybe those atrocities were not SO bad.

Baby boomers who grew up within the Tri-State era were taught by Holocaust survivors, had butchers who were survivors and landlords. Even my piano teacher had a tattoo on her arm. I guess it taught us early about horror.

I’m shocked this story is getting news coverage because it doesn’t fit the White House narrative that everything is going well under the Dear Leader.
BBC is all over it.

Yes. It is imperative we give the Kurds what they need to resist. Obviously, someone is arming ISIS.

We should also help the Kurds sell their oil and tell Maliki to pound sand if he doesn't like it.

Maybe the ISIS savages are constantly kept high with hash-hish, opium and kola nuts and cocaine from the west. Maybe that is how this many human beings are kept locked into this hysterical brand of violence. Then again, for some fanatics, their cultish religion alone is enough of an opiate.

......” I know”......

I believe that you do. And that “being vigilant to protect our country” should be foremost... Currently it is not doing so.

We can therefore expect to see some of these happenings occurring right here....which some have known of already, though isolated or not reported as they are when they do occur.

ISIS is using the US arms captured during fighting. If you look at the videos of the fighting you can see they are riding American Humvees

You have evidence of Assad beheading children ? Would like to see the link. I know Saddam had torture chambers.

....” kept high”....

This was noted in Syria...those who use the most dastardly attacks on humans for any length of time cannot continue to do so without being drugged.......and not only of those who are ISIS but they will drug out prisoners who go with them until they’re done using them...then they shoot them once they’re too drugged to function.

The fact they attack in groups also is part of the “hype” that leads to these brutalities.

No thanks to the Iraq Army who cut and ran leaving them to be confiscated.

So, the Iraqi “Army” threw down their weapons and ran, leaving our stuff for ISIS? This just gets better and better . . .
