Four Christian children in Iraq were beheaded by Islamic State terrorists after refusing to recite the Muslim declaration of faith.
...
It's always impressive when when someone chooses to keep faith with his or her beliefs rather than submit. But the notion that children would have that kind of courage is humbling. It makes you ask yourself: would I be as strong in my faith as a 15-year-old boy facing a horrible death?
Christian martyrs are supposed to inspire us. These children's deaths go beyond inspiration and motivate us to examine the strength of our faith when placed against their example.

They’re with the Lord.
Wow.
Wiping those ISIS people off the face of the planet should be a top priority. Instead our government obsesses over stupid stuff.
ISIS is the symptom. Islam is the cause. Is anyone going to wipe Islam?
But I would not go down without a fight!
Brats.
Seriously, Al Qaeda/ISIS is horrible and the rest of the world needs to rid the earth of this scourge.
The holocaust continues
This holocaust has been on going since the 7th Century.
At least they were not exposed to water-boarding.
Praise the Lord!
What we need to do is not only defeat ISIS but mandate the introduction of Christianity into these lands.
Wish i had an A-1 Skyraider and a pilot’s license, I would strafe these monsters off the face of the Earth.
Friends of Obama...who says we are not at war with Islam.
Don't yell at terrorist suspects, soldiers told

MARTYR is the Greek word for 'witness' either in a judicial record sense or in a general witness sense. The meaning is obscured when associated with the killing of the witness, placing more emphasis on the person's death, than upon his testimony.
The intent of the witness is to manifest a true testimony to their audience, not to inspire the audience.
Those who don't understand faith, confuse the witness as an attempt to change the thinking of their audience, instead of simply communicating the good news of Christ to that audience, be it large or small.
The situation surrounding the testimony simply manifests the veracity of the witness, rather than promoting an arrogant desire to inspire one's audience.
Just one instance of a Christian doing this (improbable) the MSM would have a field day ... but with this, nothing.
Jihad holocaust for 1400 years
I don’t know why you bring this up when there are so many ‘important’ things going on.
Russky actor eats pet bunny
Protestors up in arms saying ‘arms up - don’t LOOT’
People that are trying to kill us are being harassed by ‘us’ yelling and squirting water up their noses
Senators ‘upset’ over Sat session
ETC ETC ETC
I certainly hope I don’t really need this Sarc/Sarc/SARC
What will we do to him if we catch one of these murderers and find out that he is a US citizen?
I’ve often thought about what I’d do if I was threatened with beheading for my faith..I would not deny Jesus..
But I would not go down without a fight!
Run at them to force them to shoot you if all else fails. Never let them put you in chains or you will have a very short hair cut....
