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

Raymond Ibrahim: ISIS Slaughters Christians “In Their Beds”: Muslim Persecution of Christians, October 2015

Dec 29, 2015 7:27 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Syrian refugees Gaziantep

Gatestone Institute 

Teams of trained killers disguised as refugees were sent by the Islamic State (IS) into U.N. refugee camps to kill Christians, including “in their beds,” and to kidnap young girls to sell or use as slaves. This came out, according to a report, on October 24, soon after an IS operative “got cold feet and renounced jihad after witnessing Christians helping out other refugees within the camp. He then revealed that he had been sent with an Islamist hit squad to eliminate Christians as part of the hate group’s ideological drive to wipe the religion off the map.” The report also quoted an aid worker saying:

They’re like a mafia. People are even killed inside the camps, and the refugees are afraid to say if they saw somebody get killed. If you ask them, they’ll say, “I don’t know, I was asleep.”… The camps are dangerous because they have IS, Iraqi militias and Syrian militias. It’s another place for gangs…. They’re killing inside the camps, and they’re buying and selling ladies and even girls.

The rest of October’s roundup of Muslim persecution of Christians around the world includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Islamic State Slaughter of Christians

Syria:  The Islamic State executed three Christian men who, along with 250-300 other Christians, were abducted in an earlier raid on an Assyrian Christian village.  In the video of the execution, the three Christians appeared on their knees, dressed in the usual orange jumpsuits; they were then shot dead by three masked executioners. Before being killed, each of the Christians identified himself by name and village of origin.  The president of the Alliance church in Syria described one of the slain as “a great man of God who took a risk by staying in his village to take care of his people and to encourage them in the Lord.” In the same video, IS threatened to execute the remaining Christian hostages unless a ransom—as much as $100,000 USD per hostage—was met.

Libya: A group claiming affiliation with the Islamic State announced the beheading of a Christian man of South Sudanese origin who had been living and working in Libya since 1989.  It is unclear when the execution took place. An IS masked figure appears in the video and accuses South Sudan of mistreating Muslims. He does this despite South Sudan having an interim constitution that defines itself as a secular state—unlike  Sudan, which rules according to Sharia and oppresses non-Muslims: “Oh Christians in South … [there is] no safety or shelter for you except that of the Islamic State,” the masked jihadi says.  The Christian is then forced down to his knees, his throat slit and his head cut off.

Muslim Attacks on Christian Churches

Indonesia:   Several churches were destroyed by Muslim rioters and local authorities in Aceh.   On October 9, hundreds of Muslims marched to the local authority’s office and demanded that all unregistered churches in Aceh be closed.   Even though the authorities agreed, on October 13, a mob of approximately 700 Muslims, some armed with axes and machetes, torched a local church.  When the mob moved to a second church, violent clashes with Christians trying to protect their churches broke out.  One person, believed to be a Christian, was killed and several injured.  About 8,000 Christians were displaced. Extremist Islamic leaders afterwards issued messages: “We will not stop hunting Christians and burning churches. Christians are Allah’s enemies!”  In response, local authorities demolished three churches (one Catholic, two Protestant) on October 19, and vowed to destroy many more in the months to come.

Sudan: Two churches were destroyed in separate incidents.  On October 17, a Lutheran church was burned down in Gadaref. The building was completely destroyed, including the furniture and Bibles inside. On October 22, in Omdurman, after giving the congregation only 72 hours’ notice and citing “redevelopment,”  authorities demolished the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sudan.  The church had stood on the same location for over 30 years.  According to local sources, Muslims set fire to the building before officials ordered bulldozers to tear down the rest of it.  “The strange thing is that the church was destroyed but the mosque was still standing in its place! This shows us many things…We were asking them, ‘Where are our rights?’” a Lutheran church leader said.

Syria: On the night of October 25, a mortar shell hit the Latin church of Aleppo, dedicated to Saint Francis, as mass was being celebrated.  Launched from areas held by anti-Assad forces, the grenade hit the roof and exploded outside.  Seven people were injured.  According to Bishop Georges, the apostolic vicar of Aleppo, “It was around 10 before six in the evening, there were about 400 people in church and the time had come for communion…  If the grenade had exploded inside there would have been a massacre. Instead, only seven worshippers were injured, not in a serious way, when rubble fell down and the roof was damaged.”

Iraq:  At least eight historic and ancient Christian churches in Mosul were used as animal slaughterhouses by the Islamic State during Bakr-Eid, the Islamic Festival of Sacrifice….

    As i know there is ethnic differsity among these groups along with religion. Arabs are clannish tribal people in rural or upper Egypt, Iraq and Syria and the Fula tribal people in Nigeria who terrorise everyone.

      So? Muslims are killing Christians so what point are you trying to make?

      Peggy

      the same islamic persecution against Christians is happening in Germany, in UK, in Sweden and in other EU countries and it will only increase. Most people in the West don’t care. They lost their sense of religion.

    Obama’s fault
    Arab Spring ‘refugees’
    Obama’s Cairo speech praising Islam instigated Muslims.
    Offering flattery to Muslims and their religion is like tossing gasoline on a fire.

    Islamic uprising Arab Spring was also egged on by Obama’s support of Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi.

      Don’t blame it all on Obama alone because Obama is by product of the American society. Remember, Americans elected Obama TWICE as their president.
