Islamic State militants have brutally murdered 12 Christians, including the 12-year-old son of a Syrian ministry team leader who had planted nine churches, for refusing to renounce Jesus Christ and embrace Islam instead, the Gospel Herald reported.
The horrific executions took place last Aug. 28 in an unnamed village outside Aleppo, Syria, according to Christian Aid Mission, a humanitarian group that assists indigenous Christian workers in their native countries.
"In front of the team leader and relatives in the crowd, the Islamic extremists cut off the fingertips of the boy and severely beat him, telling his father they would stop the torture only if he, the father, returned to Islam," Christian Aid said, according to Gospel Herald.
"When the team leader refused, relatives said, the ISIS militants also tortured and beat him and the two other ministry workers. The three men and the boy then met their deaths in crucifixion.''
"They were killed for refusing to return to Islam after embracing Christianity, as were the other eight aid workers, including two women,'' Christian Aid said in its statement.
The eight were reportedly brought to a separate site in the village and asked if they would also return to Islam. But after they refused the offer, the women, ages 29 and 33, "were raped before the crowd, summoned to watch, and then all eight were beheaded."

And NATO now want Russia to stop bombing these monsters.
What perverts NATO are.
Nothing in my local rag.
“But why is the Pope silent?”
He isn’t. When the first large number of Christians were lined up along a beach front and beheaded and the film put on Youtube, he spoke up and said our “brother” Christians have been killed and he asked for the killing to be stopped. I’m sure he continually prays for Christians to be spared.
Dead in a month. hee hee!
They are true martyrs. They should be honored.
They weren’t Hindus. They were tribal people.
So, they didn't keep the women to sell as sex slaves?
This couldn't of taken more than half a day.
How many infidels did they subjugate the rest of the day? The day before?
The day after?
I think there is an especially hot corner of Hell that is reserved for these slime bags.
“Question: Are Russian troops not having their limbs blown off by IEDs, or are we just not hearing about it?”
The reason that IEDs work on our troops is because of our sickening RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. I can PROMISE you that if the Russians see a vehicle on the side of the road in Syria, with or without people in it, that vehicle will find itself on a one-way trip to Tripoli. Likewise, I have no doubt that cell phones don’t work all that well withing 10 kilometers of any Russian unit.
Thank you for the post. We should print it and keep it before us in these times lest we forget. The trials of our faith are going to come to all of us who are Christians soon. There is no equivocation nor will there be any excuses when our personal time comes. Only faithfulness even to death will save us. Nevermind those that can kill and maim our bodies. I’ve often thought about how the worst thing would be to watch my family suffer like this man did. I pray for strength like he had.
That’s what I was wondering exactly.
The devil’s religion strikes again- But, by all means let’s bring in more muslims to our country. Forget about the Christians, we need more muslims(/s).
I don’t think any track is faster than any other To die in Christ is to die in Christ Ymmv
At some point it will be confirmed that Obama funded and armed these folks.
Yea, I have read that American lives (probably many American lives) have been lost due to our rules of engagement - starting with Bush, maybe made worse by Obama (although I don’t know either way). The Russians, of course, consider the safety of their soldiers to be a higher priority than trying to get the locals to love them.
These perverts are obsessed with sex..
Obama has blood on his hands, but since he has no soul, there is no blood on it. Psychopaths have no souls, conscience, ethics, morals, only selective sympathy or empathy, and are generally full of hate and rage.
My word, that sounds just like Obama. “By Jove, I think I’ve got it”.
Hey, wait a minute! According to the NYT and Carter Center, there is no ISIS in Aleppo. Only the “good” islamist rebels. There must be a mistake here.
