EXCLUSIVE - Islamic State militants are demanding up to $30 million in ransom to release the hundreds of Christian hostages in Syria, according to an officer within the Assyrian leadership.

In ongoing negotiations between ISIS terrorists and the Assyrian leadership to free the 250-300 Christians abducted by the militant group in February, ISIS is demanding $100,000 per individual, according to the source.

Third-party Syrian Sunni Muslims from the local area are reported to be brokering the talks between the two groups.

“They know we cannot come up with this kind of money, so they are hoping other groups and countries will come up with the money,” the official said.

Obama will pay and give them any terrorist we have in custody, and he will say he doesn’t care what happens to those “evil Christians”

Howe about if we kill 100 terrorist daily until they are returned alive and well. If they are not then kill 10,000 terrorists in retribution.

Bargain rate. They wanted $200 million for the Japanese hostages.

This is not a market that should clear.

“Give us $30 million to free 300 hostages this week, so we’ll have the funds to take 3,000 hostages next week.”

They’ll take the money and kill their hostages anyway.

And Obama will go golfing.

Let’s all sing along with Yusuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens …

Oh, I’m being slaughtered by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Bleedin’ and dying by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if... I won’t have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colors all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if... I won’t have to cry no more.

Oh, I’m being slaughtered by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Bleedin’ and dying by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my head, I won’t moan, and I won’t beg,
Yes if I ever lose my head, Oh if... I won’t have to talk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if... I won’t have to talk...

Did it take long to kill me? I asked the faithless light.
Did it take long to kill me? And are you gonna slay the night?

Oh, I’m being slaughtered by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Bleedin’ and dying by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
