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 yet the people of “ Aleppo” made publicity shots yesterday demonstrating against the Russian bombing
The Russians have good ground intelligence and I hope they will track down these monsters with the help of local people, no matter which faction’s name they are using
Perhaps not, but whatever they get it will be more than they get from Obama and the United States ... maybe even some vengeance.
Isn’t there a Republican war on women going on here? Anybody seen the casualty list? I’ll bet those Republicans are doing a lot of beheading.
Has Vlad started carpet bombing ISIS in Syria, or is it just ‘targeted’ strikes?
I’m shuffling through the news waiting for a comment from Hillary, Rachel Maddow, Lena Dunham, Sarah Silverman...all the leftist hypocrite feminists...hypocrisy is at all time highs and cnn turns a black guy white...the truth doesn’t even matter anymore it’s whatever they want it to be even when easily disproven.....very bad times
From Obama the Silent Bastard, the world just hears crickets.
Hopefully Russia puts an end to this NIGHTMARE. It’s nice that there is still one power left in the world that is willing to protect Christians.
In the case of Germany and Japan, we stopped the ideologies behind the actions of their peoples and governments.
In the case of Iraq, not so much.
Until conservatives repudiate the policy blunders of W they will not be taken seriously by the American people. Even JEB understands this and has admitted the invasion of Iraq was a mistake.

Obama’s statement against this travesty was powerful. < / sarcasm>
Bull.
How many times were you in Iraq? The people in Baghdad, the Kurds, the marsh Arabs and other groups wanted us there to straighten the place out.
Our biggest mistakes were; not immediately rehiring the military and running the power plants full time. If we had done both of those things, the outcome would have been much different.
And as for the original invasion and occupation of Iraq, that was all Turkey’s fault due to their reneging on an agreement. Once the main forces of Saddam had dissipated into the populace, only rehiring the military would have changed the economic structure and kept them from being willing hires of the elements who wanted to disrupt Iraq.
It didn’t need to be a Jeffersonian republic, only a stable state. And when Bush left office, it was very close to being just that. Obama threw it all under the bus so he could earn that Nobel Peace Prize he was given for not being Bush.
And no Christians were being murdered while we were there. And no attacks were occurring in America and most other places. We were fighting the bad guys there, not here. That is the reason I went, and will still go. Fighting them outside of the US is ALWAYS the best option.
Exactly! This is a classic case of martyrdom.
