United Nations Says ISIS Has Killed Hundreds of Children

The United Nations is calling out the terrorist group ISIS for the killing of hundreds of children in their campaign of terror across Iraq and Syria.

The UN’s Envoy on Children testified Monday that many children were simply executed on the spot by the terrorists.

“Up to 700 children have been killed or maimed in Iraq since the beginning of the year, including in summary executions,” Leila Zerrougui told the UN Security Council. She added that in addition to the children who have been killed by the group, they are also forcing children as young as 13 to be soldiers.

“Other children are used as suicide bombers,” Zarrougui said.

Zarrougui was not the only UN official condemning the terrorist outfit on Monday. The new head of the UN’s Commission on Human Rights called out the group while speaking in Geneva.

Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said that ISIS is creating a “house of blood” in the areas under their control.

The UN has committed to making sure there are no child soldiers anywhere in the world by the end of 2016.

Islamic State Terrorist Had Top Airport Clearance

A Fox television station in Minnesota has discovered a shocking and potentially earth-shattering discovery about a member of the Islamic extremist group ISIS.

A member of that extremist group had top security clearance at the Minneapolis airport.

Abdirahmaan Muhumed, who recently died while fighting with the terrorist group, had full access to the airport, tarmac and all the aircraft that entered or left the airport for ten years.

KMSP reports that Muhumed, who leaves behind nine children, reportedly only worked the one job at the airport and experts say on his salary alone it would have been impossible to provide for his family. An investigation is underway to find out when he was first approached to work with Islamic terrorist groups.

Authorities now say that as many as 15 men and one woman have fled the Minneapolis area to fight with ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

“We are in your state, we are in your cities, we are in your streets,” ISIS said in a statement directed at the United States.

Christian Beaten, Tortured, Killed For Not Converting To Islam

A Christian man in Iraq has been used “as an example” by the Islamic terrorist group ISIS in an attempt to intimidate other non-Muslims in the region.

Salen Matty Georgis, 43, had stayed in the Christian town of Bartella after ISIS overran the Iraqi forces protecting the town on August 7^th. Georgis had a heart conditions that made it impossible for him to travel.

After living in hiding for three weeks, Georgis ran out of food. ISIS seized him immediately after he left his home.

“The [terrorist] patrol arrests him and tried to force him to convert to Islam,” a relative who did not want to be identified told the Christian Post. “He completely refused [to renounce Christ.] The militants beat him and tortured him until he died in their hands.”

“The international community cannot remain silent about the existential threat that Iraq’s Christian communities are facing. We are witnessing the emptying of Christians from their homelands,” Todd Daniels of International Christian Concern said. “We applaud the United Nations for meeting regarding these human rights abuses, but in the face of such horrific violence, action must be taken to ensure the protection of these communities.”

A 13-year-old Christian boy that escaped an ISIS prison camp told reporters that he saw beheadings, stonings and crucifixions carried out by the terrorists. Other Christians were forced to watch the killings.

Iraqi Christians Believe Government Abandoned Them To ISIS

A Catholic priest is speaking up on behalf of tens of thousands of displaced Christians who believe the Muslim-led government in Iraq abandoned them to the Islamic extremist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

“The people are angry because the government just gave up on them. They told us that, in Mosul, where there had normally been a presence of 60,000 soldiers, after the onslaught of ISIS, in only a matter of hours, these soldiers abandoned them, laying down their weapons,” said Fr. Rami Wakim in The Catholic Herald.

Many Christians have been forced to flee to the Kurdish regions of the country where Kurdish fighter groups have protected them.

Fr. Wakim said that most of the churches in the region are unable to hold full services inside their sanctuaries because they are filled with people sleeping on mattresses and piles of clothing because they have nothing left after fleeing Mosul and other areas overtaken by the terrorists.

“People look up to priests and bishops as the only solution, the only help they can get at a time where — of course we need to pray with them — but at this time prayer alone doesn’t seem enough and actions are required,” Wakim added.

The influx of Christian refugees is overwhelming the refugee centers in many of the areas and some aid groups have been told that they will have to transport refugees to other villages.

President Obama Speaks Out Against ISIS

President Obama held a press conference to address the beheading of an American journalist by the Islamic terrorist group ISIS and made an unusually strong denouncement of an Islamic group.

“The United States of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless. When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done. And we act against ISIL, standing alongside others,” President Obama said, referring to the group by their previous name, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The President went on to denounce the group has not being a religious group at all because of their extreme views and actions.

“No just God would stand for what they did yesterday, and for what they do every single day,” the President said. “ISIL has no ideology of any value to human beings. Their ideology is bankrupt. They may claim out of expediency that they are at war with the United States or the West, but the fact is they terrorize their neighbors and offer them nothing but an endless slavery to their empty vision, and the collapse of any definition of civilized behavior.”

The President ordered the U.S. military to continue to conduct air strikes against positions of the terrorists in northern Iraq. After the President’s address, the military carried out a series of strikes against terror positions near the country’s biggest dam to help support Iraqi and Kurdish troops who recaptured the dam earlier this week.

The President also spoke of the victim of the killing, photojournalist James Foley.

“Jim Foley’s life stands in stark contrast to his killers,” President Obama said.

Islamist TV Host Breaks Down Over Christian Persecution

The plight of Christians in Iraq has reached the point that even Islamic broadcasters are unable to deal with the level of violence and hatred shown by the extremist group Islamist State of Iraq and Syria.

Nahi Mahdi was participating in a discussion on his show when the subject was brought up about Christians being forced from their homes and killed by the terrorists. Mahdi surprised his fellow panelists when he said that he had been crying that morning over the treatment of the Christians.

“They are our own flesh and blood,” Mahdi said. “Some of them have left for Sweden, for Germany. Who does (ISIS) think it is to drive out our fellow countrymen? They must take immediate measures to help these people.”

One of the other Muslim men on the show said Mahdi breaking down in tears showed the marks of “a true Iraqi.”

“Our country is like a rose,” Mahdi said. “And its petals are the Christians, the Arabs, the Kurds, the Sabians, the Shabak people…these are all our countrymen.”

Mosul’s Christians Describe Frantic Flee For Their Life

Christians forced to flee Mosul, Iraq because of the extreme Islamic terrorist group Islamic State are recounting their tales of horror as they fled for their lives.

“We heard the gunshots outside our door, and knew the terrorists were killing Christians,” Munira Aziz told Fox News. “But we hoped someone might rescue us. We cowered inside for two days, then knew we had to leave. We gathered some clothes and left at night.”

Aziz is now living inside a church in the northern Iraqi city of Sulemaniyah suffering from a broken hip. All she has left is the clothes on her back.

Aziz said that thousands of Christians were killed simply because they had no way to flee the city.

“There were Christians everywhere we went. In every garden, and in every doorway, there are just so many with nothing and with nowhere to go,” Aziz told Fox News. “But I am so happy now we are safe, we are the lucky ones.”

The exiled believers have stood firm in their faith.

“People say it would be easy to become a Muslim, but my religion is everything I now have — why would I give that up?” a refugee said. “I would die first.”

The Christians in exile are hoping that the recent advances by Kurdish fighters with the help of U.S. airstrikes will allow them to return their homes and churches.

Young Egyptian Boy’s Prayer For Iraq Goes Viral

The sound of a small, fragile little boy’s voice is being passed around the world to remind people to pray for persecuted Christians in Iraq.

The boy, known only as Mario, lives in a suburb of Cairo, Egypt. He is a regular watcher of an Arabic Christian television satellite network called SAT-7 KIDS. He called into a show because he wanted to pray for the families in Iraq because he was hurting for them even though they were hundreds of miles away.

This is Mario’s prayer translated into English:

“We thank you for extending your glory to everything in our lives, Lord…

We pray for Iraq and all the Arab countries, they’re in your hand, Lord. Let there be peace and forgiveness, oh Lord, in terms of those who are doing bombings. Watch over the innocent people…

Even those killing others, you love them very much. You wait for them that they may come back to you again, oh Lord.

Lord Jesus, you said, ‘Come to me, you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ Yes, Lord. May we come back to you in everything, Lord Jesus.

Whether it be a small problem or a big problem, whether it be among nations or something material, or anything. If it be household problems, you will be glorified, Lord Jesus.

I thank you for hearing and answering us. Amen.”

The World Evangelical Alliance had called on Christians worldwide to focus on Christians and other minorities being persecuted by Islamic terrorists in Iraq.

Islamic Terrorists Cut 5-Year-Old Christian Boy In Half

The Islamic extremist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has committed a horrific war atrocity that was caught on video: the cutting in half of a 5-year-old Christian boy.

The boy, named Andrew, was the child of a founding member of St. George’s Anglican Church in Baghdad. He was slaughtered in an attack on the Christian town of Qaraqosh.

“I’m almost in tears because I’ve just had somebody in my room whose little child was cut in half,” Anglican Canon Andrew White of St. George’s Church told the Anglican Communion News Service Friday. “I baptized his child in my church in Baghdad. This little boy, they named him after me — he was called Andrew.”

The family had fled to Qaraqosh, which had been under the protection of Kurdish fighters. However, the Islamic State overran the Kurdish fighters and slaughtered as many Christians as they could capture as the believers fled the city.

The dead boy’s parents and brother were able to make it to the city of Arbil, which President Obama said would be under the protection of the U.S. military because of the U.S. consulate being located in the town.

The Christian Post reports that Iraqi church leaders have asked for the world to pray for them and to send money so they can purchase supplies, food and clothing for the tens of thousands of Christians fleeing the terrorists.
