Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State kidnaps Catholics, threatens to decapitate adults, burn children alive

Mar 11, 2015 11:09 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic State1“The Assyrian Human Rights Network, meanwhile, said the captives had been ordered released by a Shariah court after paying an unspecified amount of money levied as a tax on non-Muslims.”

“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.” — Qur’an 9:29

“ISIS Kidnaps Catholics in Syria, Threatens to Decapitate Adults and Burn Their Children Alive in Cages,” by Michael W. Chapman, CNS News, March 10, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

The International Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic organization, is reporting that some of its members in Syria were kidnapped by the Islamic State last week and told that if the adults do not deny their Christian faith, they will be decapitated and “their children burned alive in cages.”

In Famvin News, a website for the Vincentian community worldwide, Rev. John Freund, a Vincentian priest, reposted a message he received from Sister Monique, with the Vincentian Daughters of Charity.

Sister Monique states, “Late Sunday afternoon on 1 March 2015, I received a message from M. Francoise, a delegate of the International Society of St. Vincent de Paul [in Rome], and I managed to reach her by telephone.

“She was leaving for Paris, and collapsed at the news she had just received: members of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul in Syria were kidnapped, along with their wives and children.

“The children were isolated and put into cages. Adults who do not deny their faith will be decapitated, and their children burned alive in the cages.

“M. Francoise had been in regular contact with several of them before all this occurred. She asked me to transmit the news and make a fervent appeal for prayers for these people, and all who are held hostage.

“Let us remain fervently united in prayer, and have as our intention the welfare of all brothers and sisters in our Christian faith who are being held hostage.”

On Mar. 4, Rev. Freund provided an update: “ISIS released at least 19 Christians on Sunday [Mar. 1] who were among the more than 220 people the militants took captive in northeastern Syria last week, activists and a local leader said.

“The news provided a modicum of relief to a Christian Assyrian community that has been devastated by the abductions, which saw Islamic State fighters haul off entire families from a string of villages along the Khabur River in Hassakeh province.

“But fears remain over the fate of the hundreds still held captive.”

According to an Associated Press report, “all those [19 people] released were around 50 years of age or older, which suggests age might have been a factor. The Assyrian Human Rights Network, meanwhile, said the captives had been ordered released by a Shariah court after paying an unspecified amount of money levied as a tax on non-Muslims.”…

    These Islamic barbarians are savages and must be eradicated. Fortunately there are still news services (like JW and others) that will bring us news of events in Muslim countries. How else would we know?

      How much more do they have to do before the world gets rid of these evil, sick inhuman serial killers?

      Yes Spot On they do need to be eradicated but the religion(CULT ) of peace in just doing it’s thing murdering, raping burning alive beheading crucifying hanging throwing from top of buildings and any and all other gruesome tasks that \they can think of . Mohammed (WHO DIDN’T REALLY EXIST, JUST MADE BY A BUNCH OF MAD MEN) sure would be proud of them. Surely the western world will eventually will ((AFTER MANY THOUSANDS OF MURDDERS) get fed up with this cult and take action.

      Wonder what would happen if all of Roberts JW was posted across the nation in newspapers magazines and TV and internet? Never happen of course.

    Good Lord, and meanwhile in the UK an open letter has been sent by islamics and do-gooders accusing the UK government of criminlising islam.

    Wonder where they (the UK government) got that idea from?

    It amazes me how brave mahometan jihadistas are. Imagine the courage it takes to hide your face as you burn children alive in cages. Otherwise, they might just escape.

    Thank you for keeping us informed. This has got to be why the Pope said it’s cool to kill ISIS

    the Islamic world will not “really oppose isis, boko…etc. ..this is the mahdi ethos in check temporarily… if it really moves in power … islam will come out of the weeds to join… ….WE don’t really WANT TO FINISH THEM; NOT WANTING TO OFFEND AFTER ALL…. Non muslim world could obliterate them … and put a ring in islams nose … but they can’t trust each other….. sooooo we are left with hordes pouring into Europe and elsewhere…waiting for the mahdis call… look up boys and girls….. Revelation times.

    O Muslim,

    Think twice before you carry out your deeds of evil. You will stand before the Creator of the Universe and account for your actions……

    “Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known, then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, `We are delivered!’–that you may do all these abominations?”

    Jeremiah 7:9-10

    It is a shame that sometimes there is a need to distinguish Hussein (the former ruthless leader of Iraq) from Hussein (the curent leader of the USA).

    How can anyone think that burning children alive is in order? No matter what their “holy book” says, reason tells you that it IS NOT ok. In 2015 there are 1.8 billion people who still want to follow a “religion” which allows burning children alive!!! I just don’t get it.
    Any decent person would automatically convert to any other religion because it’s so obvious they are following the devil.

    “Any decent person would automatically convert to any other religion because it’s so obvious they are following the devil.”

    This is to show how clever he is, in misleading people on this planet, today! Actually most of the evil, if not all, committed on this planet is by people with the best of intentions!

    Behind all those horrendous crimes, without exception, perpetrated by devout Muslims against the Kuffars, infidels or apostates, lies a firm and honest belief that that’s what God wants and is pleased with.

    The so-called “moderate” Muslims, especially those living in the west, will never admit that; to the contrary, you will continue hearing them say: “That has nothing to do with Islam” or “These are not true Muslims”, about the Jihadis committing all these horrendous atrocities!

    We ought to get all the bombs we can carry in our planes go to the area these crazy people are bomb the hell out of it. You can’t change these folks all you can do is kill them. All of them, I hate to say that but I now see why when GOD had a place destroyed they kill everyone, men, women and children. It sounds harsh but look how thet had a boy killing someone. The mothers teach their sons that it’s good to kill. They don’t stand a chance. They love death. They love to kill people.They is the only way we will have peace. If they left us alone that would be one thing but they want to take over our country. And it will be us or them.

      You’re absolutely right, Cindy!

    Remember; Muhammad did not win the hearts and minds of his followers. He brought them to conversion through terror. It is all obviously about money as well.

    You know a friend of mine used to say that fluoride in the water makes people passive and that it was part of a conspiracy to pacify the masses. I used to laugh at him but now I’m having second thoughts as people are burned alive and children are executing prisoners and entire ancient cities are leveled and now they are going to burn little Catholic children alive on video and put it on YouTube and the entire western world, even the Christians, are barely moved to speak out let alone send a million Christians to Washington to demand something be done. Hell, they can hardly be bothered to send a letter to their congressman. It’s like they are zombie consumers “The Shopping Dead.”

      It has more to do with the degradation of our media and educational systems, than anything in the water…
