Thousands of Christians are being persecuted by the Islamic State (Isis) who use churches as torture chambers where Christians are forced to convert to Islam or are killed, a faith-based human rights group said.
According to the report released by the Christian Freedom International, Christians are being singled out in Isis-controlled areas in Iraq, where they face the option of either converting to Islam or get slaughtered by Isis.
The report published inExpress.co.uk, noted that a Christian is killed every five minutes in Iraq by Isis and other terror groups. "Islamic State Militants in Iraq are using Christian churches as torture chambers where they force Christians to either convert to Islam or die, " Jim Jacobson, the president of the faith-based human rights group said.
Since taking over large swathes of area in Syria and Iraq, Isis, a Sunni group, has repeatedly targeted minorities in the region. Earlier this month, Isis captured Qaryatain and within days after taking over the Syria city, it destroyed an ancient Catholic church andthrew away the remains of a revered saint.
The Sunni terror group, then gave anultimatum to the Christians in Qaryatain to either pay exorbitant taxes, convert to Islam or leave.
In August,reports emerged that Isis killed a Christian priest in Syria and cut off his body into pieces, before sending it back to his family in a box.
According to Aid to the Church in Need, a Catholic relief agency, Isis kidnapped the priest in Syria and asked for a ransom of $120,000 from the family. The family managed to raise the ransom money after two months but even after paying it, the terror groupbrutally killed the Catholic priest.
But he is a good Christian, according to Bush, Graham, and Christie.
This is why the only way that Christians from the Middle East are being brought in the USA is via an “underground railroad”.
Doing as their god (Muslims/ISIS), SATAN is telling them to do!
...while Trump says he loves moslems and that moslems are great people. It would be nice if just one politician stood up to moslems. America owes NOTHING to moslems and to islam. In fact it's the other way around: moslems owe all their wealth to the arrangements America and the west made with them regarding oil.
President Muhammad of the United States approves.
and Obama wonders why we cling to our guns and our bibles.
This country shamefully refuses to do anything for them. Prayer is all that’s left.
Meanwhile we’re taking in sleeper terrorists by the shiploads amid “refugees.”

Gee, nothing on my 6 o’clock news!
Communist Russia also used churches as torture chambers.
Double post, but worth posting twice, at least.
Their leadership has been infiltrated for decades (same as with universities, public schools, media, Democrat party) by minions of The Frankfurt School.
All is going according to their plan.
