Quote:Since ISIS became a formidable foe in the Middle East, the radical Islamist group has made a name for itself through extreme brutality.

It took large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria by force, murdering its opposition in the cruelest ways.

In Syria and Iraq, ISIS took a particular liking to the persecution and murdering of Christians. It's torn down churches and reportedly used them as torture chambers.

As a Christian this bothers me immensely. However, persecution against Christians has been going on since the time of Christ. It goes with the territory and as predicted in the Holy Scriptures. ISIS are agents of hate, death and destruction but this will also be their constant thorn - you reap what you sow.

They do this to other muslims and mosques as well don't they?

I can't answer that for certain but Christians are a particular target. This is their symbol for "Nazarene" or Arabic term for Christians marked on their homes or businesses for either conversion, pay an outrageous tax or be killed...

Truly an archaic and savage part of the the Islamic faith that is destined at some point to the dust bin of history. It is just a matter of time before this disease is eradicated from the planet. Many lives will perish in the task..but..it will be worth it for survival of peaceful people. The WORLD is going to have to join hands and destroy this plague...down to the last man,woman and child if necessary. No one that holds these evil values can be allowed to live. We are going to have to go "all out Khan" on their sorry asses.

ISIS does that to everyone they disagree with.

One of the reasons they won't last - everyone disagrees with them, including even Al Qaeda. They make too many enemies.

I believe so.

So what? Really?

Just that this isn't a new issue and the prosecution of Muslim's by ISIS is considered a less important story (and maybe issue?) than Christian's being prosecuted. I personally have a problem with both as a Christian.
