Fears are growing for a priest believed to have been kidnapped by ISIS as sickening reports suggest he may be crucified on Good Friday.

Father Tom Uzhunnalil was seized when four armed militants stormed an old people's home in Aden in Yemen on March 4.

The gunmen killed 16 people, including four nuns, in the brutal attack on the home run by the in a brutal raid which killed 16 people including four nuns.

No group has come forward to claim responsibility for the kidnap of the priest, who was a member of the Silesian order in of Bangalore, India, but a survivor said ISIS was to blame.

Now reports shared on social media suggest the priest faces being brutally tortured this Friday as Christians mark the day Jesus died.

The Franciscan Sisters of Siessen , based in South Africa, posted on Facebook: "Was informed that the Salesian priest, Fr.Tom who was kidnapped by ISIS from the Missionaries of Charity Home in Yemen is being tortured and is going to be crucified on Good Friday.

"This calls for serious concerted prayers from all of us."

Since the reports were posted, members of Fr Tom's order have stepped forward to deny them.

However they are unable to say where the priest may be held or whether he is alive or dead.

Father Mathew Valarkot, spokesman for the Salesians’ Bangalore province to which the kidnapped priest belongs, said: “We have absolutely no information on Fr Tom.

"But even today we do not know who has taken him and what their motives are because no one has claimed responsibility."

Earlier this month, the sole survivor of the brutal attack, Sister Sally, described how the militants, who she said belonged to ISIS, killed everyone else.

According to the article, Father Tom's order is denying that he was kidnapped by ISIS fighters even though there is a witness.

I don't understand their reticence.

I pray someone comes to Father Tom's rescue.

And those who appear to be his murders-to-be are the same sort that Pope Francis says the Europeans should welcome.

Our priest’s sister is part of a group that works with Father Tom and knows him personally.

She said it was ISIS.

Eliminate islam in your periphery before attracting attention to your faith. islam can not coexist among other believers in faith.

Faith in the ability to eliminate islamists in your perimeter is first and foremost. After they are neutralized, you can resume unarmed faith.

I know carpet bombing is not the solution because I have been listening to those little Obama voices inside my head. Still....

Mufti Obama gave the 30+ slaughtered and the 200+ injured in Belgium a total of 51 seconds.

One Christian isn’t worth a nano second to him.

I agree.

I wonder if the Polish Pope would have cozied up to ISIS. I’ve seen a pic of him kissing the koran.

Remember when Ann Coulter said, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”?

I think she was on to something.

We carpet bombed German cities.

We dropped the mothers of all bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

War is war.

Certainly eliminate the leaders, but there is no need for any new faith. Reality should be enough to treat each other well.

These people are Satanic. Does any rational person deny this any longer?
