ISIS Uses Churches as Torture Chambers Where Christians Forced to Convert to Islam or Killed: Report
International Business Tines ^ | 9/20/15 | Johnlee Varghese

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.

The report published in Express.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 and threw 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.

They’re doing what their “prophet” and his hate-filled book tell them to do. Why would anyone be surprised?

I hope this administration is pleased with their “Arab Spring.”

What a disaster for humanity and the worst is yet to come.

While a pleasant thought, Ivan is actually doing something about expediting the process of sending ISIS to hell.

Yes and this barbarism coming to our Christian Churches too and the Heretic “Pope” Francis telling all Roman Catholic churches in Europe to take them in and house them in the churches.

I can’t believe this crap.

Soon to be in Europe as well.

Although most Europeans will just straight up convert. There aren’t really any great numbers of Christians there anymore.

Eurabia in our lifetimes for sure.

Immigration is regulated by the country, not the church.....once they are there compassion is O.K. for families.

I disagree to a certain extent, once these people aren't threatened by their ruling class to either be Muslim or headless...they will, and actually are, dumping islam by the thousands.

Were the migration slow I’d agree. But I think there are too many this time and there is the tendency to ‘ghettoize’ too.

We’ll see.

I really hope I’m wrong. The Levant converted from Christianity (at the point of a sword some say) 1500 years ago. They’re still conquered today. I’ll miss Europe I suspect though...I’m encouraging all relatives thinking of visiting Europe to do so in the next year or two and take lots of pictures of religious sites.

This tactic started when Muhammad and his 70 followers, in 622 AD, fled to Medina, some 200 miles to the north of Mecca. With his blessings, his followers began raiding the caravans, gaining a considerable amount of booty. Muhammad began issuing revelations to justify the raids:

“You desire the lure of this world and Allah desires for you the hereafter and Allah is Mighty, Wise. Now enjoy what you have won as lawful and good and keep your duty to Allah.” Another passage of the Koran says: “Allah guarantees that he will admit the Mujahid (Islam’s Holy Warriors) in his cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty.”

Muhammad initiated a reign of terror. Persons who had given even the slightest offense to the “prophet” were murdered. They could flee, convert to Islam, or lose their heads! With this choice, most decided to become Muslims.

Muhammad turned his attention to the last remaining Jewish tribe of the City of Medina, the Banu Qurayzah, accusing them of disloyalty. They were gathered together and offered a last chance to convert. Most refused, and about 900 of the men were decapitated in front of their wives and children. The slaughter took so many hours that torches were lighted and the carnage continued throughout the night. In the morning, an orgy of rape began. Muhammad selected one woman for his harem, Raihana ‘bint Amir. Hours earlier, she had seen her father and husband slaughtered, and her children taken into slavery. A fringe benefit for Muhammad and his men was all the worldly possessions of the Jews, plus of course several hundred slaves. By the divine revelation of three years previously, the Prophet kept a fifth of the spoils.

It was a time when the “Prophet” appealed to the savages on the Arabian Peninsula In his conquests, Muhammad was personally guilty of murder, including by beheading, crucifixion, pouring boiling water or molten pitch down the throat, boiling his victims in water,or ripping off their flesh. Other crimes were rape, torture, kidnapping, extortion, slavery, mutilations, banditry, theft, adultery, abuse of women, physically and sexually, and sexual abuse of at least one child.

That’s quite a range of things to do—all from the “Prophet’s” handbook—to soften up the villager’s resistance you intend to rob for the promise of battle, booty, women, and slaves. All this started as a result of a guy who lost his wealthy wife Khadija, 15 years his senior, and began robbing caravans to maintain the life he enjoyed.

The Islamic savages of today have learned the Muhammad playbook and are picking up where Muhammad left off. They are practicing Muhammad’s example to the minute degree. To them, it is their ticket to battle, booty, women, and slaves. Instead of working to solve the next cure for cancer, they have themselves become a cancer—just as “God’s Prophet” was to the Arabian Peninsula. And being a cancer, men of this earth must do everything in their power to eliminate it.

We’re not talking about families, if you see the pictures they’re very few. It’s 90% young, angry military-aged men.

Yeah, but that's not who the Pope was referring to...families!
