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 wife’s 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-law’s stomach open and shot him before leaving him to die on a cross.
The victim’s 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 group’s actions against Christians.
I don't believe Mother Teresa ever said that. Robert Deniro, Lefty extraordinaire, once said that if there is a god, he has a lot to answer for. But, just like Nietschze, God's response is "No, YOU have a lot to answer for, Bob" and "No, Fred, I am not dead. But you are."
Believe what you want, she said it. Look it up.
I did. I can’t find any reference to it.
Christians stood & delivered at THE GATES OF VIENNA.
MUSLIM JIHADISTS had stormed THE GATES OF VIENNA, but they
were STOPPED and prevented from spreading their cult of
death and destruction any further than THE GATES OF VIENNA.
The MUSLIM JIHADISTS had sneaked inside another city’s gates
and SLAUGHTERED and BEHEADED the WHOLE POPULATION of an
entire city. (A few MUSLIM MIGRANTS sneaked and opened the
gates of that city to allow them in. A river running through
that city ran red with blood of Christians.) - CHRISTIAN
MILITARY LEADERS ROSE AND SAID “YOU STOP HERE!” at the
GATES OF VIENNA.
Just by the simple fact that you know ISIS is evil you demonstrate that there is a higher power that distinguishes right from wrong, evil from good. This understanding is embedded in each of us give to us by someone.
The knowledge of God isn’t so much hope as it is logic.
Was it Peter, or Paul, who requested he be crucified upside down because he didn’t deserve to die like Jesus?
Dying like Jesus would be such an honorable way to go. But, my God, the suffering.
Shakes your faith, doesn’t it.
Indeed....
Jehova was very tangibly present for Abraham , Jacob , Moses , Joshua , David ,and so many more ; IN WAR. The enemies of ‘ God’s people ‘were dropped like the flies on crap that they are/were .... and yet nowdays ....it’s Christians and Jews being dropped . I ask : what changed? And what causes us to now deserve the knife while the heathen savages revel ? I’m looking for answers , not excuses or platitudes.
