A website in Assyria is confirming that a 14-year-old Christian boy who was working a 12-hour shift maintaining an electric generator has been murdered by Muslim insurgents.
The Assyrian International News Agency said the tragedy was reported by an Assyrian language web page at www.ankawa.com.
The youth was identified as Ayad Tariq, who lived in Baqouba, Iraq, and was at work on Oct. 21 when a group of "disguised Muslim insurgents" went into the power plant shortly after his shift began at 6 a.m.
The website reported the insurgents asked him for his identification and, according to other witnesses who hid and stayed alive to report on the attack, questioned his identification card's reference to him as a "Christian."
Are you truly a "Christian sinner," they asked.
"Yes, I am Christian but I am not a sinner," he replied.
The insurgents then called him a "dirty Christian sinner," grabbed his limbs and held them while beheading him, the witnesses reported.
They were shouting, "Allahu akbar! Allahu Akbar!" during the murder, witnesses said.
An organization called AssyrianChristians.com said they are the indigenous people of Iraq, with a population that has been in the Middle East from the time of Christ.
However, they have faced a number of purges by the region's rulers over time, including the present attacks by powerful Islamic factions across Iran, Iraq and neighboring nations, officials said.
Only two generations back, Assyrian Christians made up 20 percent of the population of the Middle East, but during the Assyrian Genocide of 1915, an estimated three million Christians were slaughtered there, the organization said.
Current estimates are that there are about 2.5 million Assyrian Christians in Iraq.
Kenneth Scott LaTourette wrote in "A History of Christianity" that the Assyrian Christians became the first nation to accept Christianity, and one of the largest missionary-sending peoples in Christian history.
"The Assyrian Christians are one of the last remaining Christian communities in the Middle East," said Rev. Ken Joseph Jr., of the Assyrian Christians organization.
Tens of thousands of Assyrian Christians have fled their traditional homelands in recent months, officials confirmed.

All this while America, a so-called Christian nation stands by and does nothing. WAKE UP AMERICA!! The Crusades saved Al-Andalus (Spain), we must destroy this cult of Islam, this cult of Satan, before it consumes the entire world. NUKE Mecca now.

America trusts Muslims and lets them in, like letting a cancer seep into the veins of the country -- look at the riots in France and we should learn.

I DON'T CARE If he was a Nestorian Christian or an Orthodox Christian or a Catholic Christian or a Coptic Christian or a Protestant or an Evangelist or Baptist, the fact remains that the MUSLIMS killed a cHRISTIAN because he was Christian. Our little differences mean NOTHING in the face of that

We have been forsaken by those who have sworn to protect us from enemies, domestic and abroad. They have chosen to allow this cancer in and to propagate in our veins.

"How soon do you want them to start lining up people at churches in the U.S.? Are you willing to renounce your Christianity for these evildoers? Are you willing to renounce your humanity? "
You ask some very good questions, the scary thing is that if it means getting back in power I don't think they would stop and think about it.

Lord hold your servant Ayad Tariq in your loving arms. His young life here on earth was short but he can now spend eternity with the one and only true loving God.

Well, you quoted the text specifically describing the beheading, and then you said the MSM was rooting for these folks. It seemed to me you were saying that the MSM roots for people who behead other people and you used an example of a child.
So, I took your comment to mean you were making the outrageous claim that the MSM advocates beheading Christian children.
If I stretched your meaning too far, I apologize.
What was it you were trying to say?

No Christian should go anywhere near one of those cursed countries.
The thing is that those are CHRISTIAN Countries --- Iraq and Egypt were 2% Christian (10% at the start of the 20th century) and were nearly 100% (in the case of Egypt) Christian before Muhounds pigs invaded. Syria IS 10%, LEbanon 40% Christian. There are even Christians in Iran (remnants of the Assyrian Christian church). However, the Christians in Turkey were all slaughtered (they're barely 1% now) and Christianity is BANNED in Saudi Arabia.
Christianity is in the heart of the ME. But they are being chased out -- even Bethlehelm is no longer Christian and the Muslims want to build a mosque at the Church of the nativity. All the while the CHRISTIAN nations of Europe and America sit back and do nothing.

The liberal democrats are just waiting hopefully to see the beheadings become common place here. Do you honestly believe that?

Not exactly the paraphrase I would expect to read in the Living Bible but not a bad summation.

the thing is that I consider "us" to include Christians being persecuted by Muslims, I even include members of other religions (Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, etc.) being persecuted by this cult

Hmmm... would a Christian have said "I am a Christian but I am not a sinner?"

I was referring to Americans. I think that covers allot of ground these days.

Just making the point that the MSM is rooting for Islamists...the same type of garbage who killed the 14 year-old kid.
