ISLAMIC State fighters crucified a Christian in a harrowing five-hour ordeal telling him if you love Jesus, you will die like Jesus. Christians who fled their homes when ISIS took control of large swathes of Iraq have revealed the sickening torture those who were left behind were forced to endure.
The jihadis gave Christians four options - leave, convert to Islam, pay a religious tax or die.
Now one Christian, named Esam, has revealed how his brother-in-law was crucified following five hours of torture.
Speaking to charity, ADF International, he said: My wifes brother was crucified by Daesh.
He was crucified and tortured in front of his wife and children, who were forced to watch. They told him that if he loved Jesus that much, he would die like Jesus.
ISIS then cut his brother-in-laws stomach open and shot him before leaving him to die on a cross.
The victims wife and children are now safe in Sweden, but in a further blow, the wife has been diagnosed with cancer.
Esam said: A Swedish organisation helped his wife and the children; they are now in Sweden. His wife has cancer.
Another Christian, using the pseudonym Marijam, told ADF International how her brother was crucified after ISIS stormed the family home in the Nineveh Plains.
The jihadis beat her brother in front of his family and threatened to kill him when he tried to fight back.
ISIS fighters told him: "We will crucify you like your dog, Jesus Christ.
Marijam said the heinous jihadis then stabbed her brother and tortured him for five hours in front of his wife and children.
They then nailed him to a wooden plank and hanged his body on a cross before shooting him in the mouth in front of his terrified family.
The UN condemned Daesh for committing genocide against Yazidis in Iraq in June, but is yet to rule on the terror groups actions against Christians.
nah, it’s extermination time. they have brought it on themselves.
You are wrong
They need to be eradicated, give them thier 72 virgins
And you wonder why our founders wrote the second amendment to our Constitution.

Your comment is what many of the prophets have asked. It is difficult to see God's plan in all of this. But suffice it to say that the 80 years or so that we spend on this earth is a small drop in the ocean of eternity. Ten thousand years from now, these people will only have started eternal torment while this dear Christian will only be starting to enjoy the fruits of heaven. You can bank on that.
But have no fear, we won't do any of this but we may very well end up wishing we had some day.
Give them fire and lead and lots of it.
Maybe give them the same choice they demand. Convert or die.
The UN is as evil as ISIS. They need to be reduced. The USA is giving them too much money.
Why does the USA continue to give money to those who hate us?
These martyrs for Jesus Christ are so inspiring!
Obama is America's enemy. The Left fails to see it because they are blind, living in a bubble, and unaffected so far. But that will change and they will panic and cry like babies (after briefly cheering ISIS on) once they realize it's their turn. Especially if they are homosexuals, traitors to their own people which most enemies despise, and useful idiots which will be very apparent to any interrogator very quickly.
What they suffered was horrible. What they gained was no less than holy martyrdom. May God bless them and those they loved, and give them His peace.

No matter how I die, I will end up like Jesus - risen again and with Eternal life - doesn’t get any better than that. Enjoy them “virgin” goats, Achmed ....
This life is a dress rehearsal for eternity...and God is sitting in the first row and taking score.
Obama must be held to account for what he has done. The blood of the tens of thousands of Christians murdered, maimed, tortured, and raped are on his hands.
That poor family.
Dear God, please STOP this barbarism and protect those who bear Your name.
Heal that family, that wife from cancer and those children from the horrific trauma they endured.

And god does and He will.
Just not on our time frame and according to our demands.
God knows how He should act. We don't.
Water board them? Heck, we’d better not even make fun of their weenies or put panties on their heads or we’ll earn the world’s wrath. And heaven forbid we serve them unchilled Chablis at Guantanamo!
Do you think you’re in any position to question the Author of the Universe? Isn’t that a little presumptuous?
So, God only exists in high times? Or does God only exist when men are all good? Sounds like liberal utopia. God exists despite what men do. If God were anything less, if men’s actions ruled Him, then God would simply be man. If you read the headlines it looks like Christians are losing, but if you look a little deeper, there are places of revival, even there. Perhaps a purge of Barbie Christians. Churches that are growing are preaching the tough love of God.
