Wherever U.S. leadership has helped Islamic jihadis topple secular autocrats in the name of “democracy and freedom,” indigenous Christian minorities are being forced to convert to Islam or die.
Many are accepting death.
Most recently, on August 28 near Aleppo, the Islamic State (IS or ISIS) tortured, mutilated, publicly raped, beheaded and crucified 12 Christians for saying “they would never renounce Christ” for Muhammad.
The jihadis took one group in front of a large crowd. They cut off the fingertips of a 12-year-old boy, who steadfastly refused to submit to Islam. They “severely beat him, telling his father they would stop the torture only if he, the father, returned to Islam.” He refused, so they “also tortured and beat him and the two other ministry workers. The three men and the boy then met their deaths in crucifixion.”
According to a Christian leader associated with the martyrs, “They were left on their crosses for two days. No one was allowed to remove them.” A sign saying “infidels” was placed next to their crosses.
The other eight Christians, including two women aged 29 and 33, were also ordered to renounce Christ and embrace Islam before a large crowd. They refused:
The Islamic extremists then publicly raped the women, who continued to pray during the ordeal, leading the ISIS militants to beat them all the more furiously.
As the two women and the six men knelt before they were beheaded, they were all praying.
“Villagers said some were praying in the name of Jesus, others said some were praying the Lord’s prayer, and others said some of them lifted their heads to commend their spirits to Jesus,” the ministry director said. “One of the women looked up and seemed to be almost smiling as she said, ‘Jesus!’”
After they were beheaded, their bodies were hung on crosses, the ministry director said, his voice breaking.
The same is happening in the two other Arab nations where the U.S., under the pretext of “freedom and democracy,” overthrew the secular dictators who had long kept a lid on the jihadis: Iraq and Libya.
Late last year, Andrew White, an Anglican priest known as the “Vicar of Baghdad,” recounted the horrific atrocities Christians in Iraq are suffering—including seeing their children chopped in half for refusing to embrace Islam. One of his anecdotes follows:
ISIS turned up and they said to the [Christian] children, “You say the words [shehada, convert to Islam], that you will follow Muhammad.” And the children, all under 15, four of them, they said, “No, we love Jesus. We have always loved Jesus. We have always followed Jesus. Jesus has always been with us.” They [ISIS] said, “Say the words!” They [children] said, “No, we can’t.” [White starts sobbing] They chopped all their heads off. How do you respond to that? You just cry. They’re my children. That is what we have been going through. That is what we are going through…

In the meantime, US military airdrops 50 tons of ammo for Syrian islamic jihadist mass-murderers so that they could murder more innocent Syrian Christians:

This is an amazing story. Arming “Islamic State Lite” right AFTER the operation of training them is declared a failure. Insane. And nobody in Washington seems to even be trying to stop Obama.
Jay Boo says
War Criminal Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize on a campaign speech before he even took office.
Screeminmeeme says
I thought the Nobel ”peace” prize thing was a bit of overkill propaganda by the Enemy who had just placed Obama in the the world’s most powerful seat.

Whatever Putin’s motives maybe, He’s the only leader in the west, with a few exceptions ; who has expressed outrage at the treatment of Christians in the middle east ! If the “topple the dictator ” policy failed in Iraq,Egypt and Libya, why will it suddenly work in a country surrounded by islamic militants fighting between each other over who will take over ? Whatever one thinks of the Russians ;their ability to see clearly through the Moderate , Extremest Narrative ; propagated by most western leaders is Refreshing ! THANK YOU RAYMOND ; for keeping the world informed about THE PLIGHT OF CHRISTIANS IN islamic DOMINATED COUNTRIES !

Great analysis. I feel exactly the same. ISIS is multiplying like cockroaches. I am not sure if anybody will eradicate them.

RonaldB says
There’s a corollary to Occam’s Razor: Don’t attribute to conspiracy what can be explained by idiocy.
There’s no shortage of idiocy in the history of US politics: from George W Bush who oversaw the deliberate destruction of all mechanisms of social control in Iraq, to John McCain and Bobby Jindal, who criticized Obama for not doing enough to topple the Syrian government.
It’s hard to think of the US as a rogue elephant, but that seems to be the most apt description currently.
Why do we continue to act in the same dysfunctional way that has so obviously failed not only our ideological and ethical allies, but ourselves? Is it the stupidity (George W Bush), the personality disorder (Obama narcissism), the mental illness (John McCain, explosive raging)?
The only conscious principle I can rationalizing US actions is the idea that existing society has to be torn down so a new one can emerge. The US seems to act on the assumption that once a dictatorship backed by force is torn down, a democratic government will emerge. By now, it should be obvious that a Muslim government will emerge.
mortimer says
Agree. They are uninformed idiots singing from the Soddy hymnbook.
Raja says
Ronald,
Agreed. Those at the helm are not mere idiots they are crooks of the first order..
Jeremiah says
We need to act. We need a people’s crusade into Africa to rescue Christians if Obama, Merkel and the UN refuse to help. Just the preparation of such a crusade will show that we are sincere. It will be an encouragement to all Christians . . . especially if Obama continues to stand by and resist such a crusade.
mortimer says
No ‘we’ do not need a crusade. ‘We’ need conferences of well-informed intellectuals who force change public opinion and novelists and writers who can break through the indifference and disinformation and allow the politicians to implement the will of the people.
Right now, the Leftarded cultural Marxists are leading the ‘crusade’ against Western civilization.
Jeremiah says
We do not need to procrastinate. We need to rescue Christians.
kay says
I am really pissed off here. As with the Chibok girls in Nigeria. And I have no cultural relation to any of these groups. Just want to say a couple things.
First, this story is 100% credible.
In particular, this state terrorist execution cycle fits a very specific cultural pattern that is known only in Islam: for girls, rape then execution.
That’s what the effing Shia religious fascists did many times in Evin prison ( Iran ) and I will never forgive them.
Second, I will make them pay in the ( social media ) press. I will “crucify” Islamic State, or more exactly, their apologists by making this specific instance broadly known.
I hate Nazis more than anything. Especially the Islamic kind.
I will use the above point on rape/ execution to hammer on Pope Francis and the Sharia compliant types and apologists. I will emphasize that Islamic State rape/ execution and Islamic State Ramadan are powerful concrete proofs of the core Islamic identity politics of the Islamic State and Islamic Sharia.
Third, were I brought up Catholic I would be hopping mad and spitting mad at Pope Francis and I would leave the Catholic Church, even at a young age. I could not possibly be an effing Vichy Catholic. Nor an effing Vichy Anglican. These are traitors to humanity.
Fourth – today I chanced across a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, which reads “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything. I looked into the philosophy of Einstein. The quote is certainly legit.
There is no rapprochement and nothing to negotiate. As was said in Dune ( which I read as a kid ), “Humans do not submit to animals.” Refusal to submit means the commitment to fight, pure and simple. That means I can never be Christian.
I know not what typical American Christians think about Islamic State and their authentic Sharia pedigree. Nor what they think about Pope Francis kissing the Koran and his recent World Trace Center statement. Nor what Brit Christians think about the Anglican Church being 100% supportive of Islam as a “true revelation”. I just know my responsibility.
Fifth, it would be great if people would wake up en masse, pop to the shop and buy the necessary clues.
Independent of what others do, I can assure you that the martyrdoms reported here will NOT be in vain. I was totally pissed off by Nigeria. And by Paris. And this criminal insanity. This is a core issue for me. To be a real humanitarian is to wholly oppose all Nazis, especially those who mutilate and rape children and young women.
In summary, the real darkness is not that bad things happen or that there are sick twisted criminally insane people. The real darkness is gross insensitivity to these events and to these religious psychopaths. It is not enough to take a different path, by say turning away from conventional religion. Altho that clearly makes good sense on an inner level..
Rather, it is only the active resistance to destructive pathology that marks the conscious and responsible human being. Politics means how you live your life, not where you stand on issues. This is all out war and and it is war on children, on society and on civilization entire. It’s like what Churchill said by broadcast to Hitler: “You do your worst. We’ll do out best.”
Jeremiah says
Obama’s bias towards Muslims is deceptive because he told voters he was a Christian. Everything he has done favors dissent, discontent and Islam.
Raja says
Jeremiah,
You are right. Far from being a Christian Obama has HELPED almost every Muslim nation to be radicalized to the extent of extermination of Christians.He has practiced Jihad by stealth.in the process. True, US is not a Christian nation nor any nation can be defined to be Christian but what has he done for world order / peace? Where is justice? This scum needs to be impeached for his jugglery with Jihad.
Ex-muslim says
That is right but let us remember the US administrations that existed even before Obama backed Islamic jihadists in Afghanistan, in Persia where they abandoned the Shah and covertly backed the Mullahs and in the Balkans and elsewhere. There is something sinister working behind the scenes making the US administrations and EU the Anti-Christian way they are. It could be the Devil? I am sure it is the Devil!
TheBuffster says
My understanding is that the US administration backed Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in its fight against the Soviet Union’s invasion. I remember watching a special report on it at the time, saying that the Afghans were fighting for their independence and religious liberty against a brutal Soviet enemy. I also remember the stories of how the Soviets were booby-trapping toys and leaving them around so that little children would find them and get blown up – an act of terror against the Afghans intended to demoralize them.
The report made Bin Laden and his men look like brave and determined freedom fighters who just wanted to be free to practice their religion and keep their independence, and to fight against the barbarians who were blowing the limbs off of their children with explosive toys.
I’m pretty sure Reagan was naive about the nature of Islam, and believed he was fighting the Evil Empire, keeping it from spreading its tentacles over yet another country and destroying the people’s right to practice their religion.
Little did he know that the same people whose children he was defending were just as capable of blowing up their own children in Allah’s cause.
Kepha says
Kay:
Speaking as a typical American patriarchal Christian, here’s what I have to say about Islam and the Islamic state.
Islam is blasphemy masquerading as religion; slavery (especially for women, whom we Christian men are taught to regard as joint heirs of salvation) masquerading for “dignity”, and the creator rather than the son of the desert.
More later.
Screeminmeeme says
Christians are NOT to submit to evil, but resist it. They are permitted to fight to defend themselves, their families, their neighbors, their country.
Pacifists are parasites on the backs of heroes….and the so-called pacifism of Christianity is an heresy.
As for the Pope, he does not speak for all of Christendom. He is a hireling apostate who has lied to his flock about Islam. I assume he can read….and were he to read the Quran/haddith/Sunna he would see the absurdity of his acceptance of Islam as a benign, beneficial religion and how wrong he is to support it in any way.

NPR — just crickets
Yet, NPR is planning to host an interview explaining how Baghdadi who they say “claims” to be an Islamic scholar will have his credentials scrutinized by (according to NPR ) “real” Islamic scholars.
Putin should just bomb NPR. It would be more efficient.

There’s something in all this. Where’s the third choice? You know, the one where the Muslim conquerors give the People of the Book the option to pay the jizya and live as dhimmis. They’re giving the People of the Book the “convert or die” options that apply to pagans and other non-book people..
Shame, shame, shame!
Maybe when Obama says the Islamic State isn’t Islamic, he’s getting them on this technicality?
TheBuffster says
Coincidentally the first line in my post above was supposed to read “There’s something missing in all this”, but the word “missing” went missing.

Armenian Genocide, again! (Christians in the ME being slaughtered by Muslims).
Hitler was right. No one remembers.
