ISIS "Declares War on Christians"

Article Source: Virtual Jerusalem 







Islamic State (ISIS) has published a new edition of the propaganda booklet Dabiq, which is again signaling its primary enemy - Christianity. 

On the cover page of the booklet is a photo of the Vatican bearing the ISIS flag, along with the terror group's desires to conquer Rome and "break the cross." 

According to some Islamic traditions, the founder of Islam Mohammed predicted that the occupation of the three cities of Istanbul, Jerusalem and Rome pave the way for the appearance of the Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah. 
The declaration surfaces amid growing concern over the widespread persecution of Christians in the Middle East.

The cause sparked a joint conference between the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (ICEJ) and the World Jewish Congress (WJC) in Jerusalem earlier this week, and an impassioned speech on regional issues by an Israeli Christian Arab leader to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) last month. 

"Across the Middle East, in the last ten years, 100,000 Christians have been murdered each year. That means that every five minutes a Christian is killed because of his faith," Father Gabriel Nadaf, who has campaigned for Christian Arab rights and for local Christians to support Israel, told the UNHRC in September.

"Those who can escape persecution at the hands of Muslim extremists have fled... Those who remain, exist as second if not third class citizens to their Muslim rulers."

Some 12 million Christians were estimated to have lived in the Middle East in total, according to a July estimate in the Guardian, but that number has been thought to have decreased drastically since ISIS's summer takeover in Iraq.

The Christian community has faced dire persecution in a variety of Middle Eastern countries over the past 2-3 years, with a systemic crackdown on religious dissidents intensifying as the region shifted more toward radical Islam. 

In Egypt, Coptic Christians have been targeted by violence from the Muslim Brotherhood ad Salafi groups. In Syria, Al-Qaeda linked rebels have threatened to kill Christians who do not join the fight against President Bashar Al-Assad.

Iran has persecuted Christians relentlessly as well, recently making headlines for burning the lips of a Christian man caught eating 
during the Ramadan fast.

ISIS: What is the Real Deal Beheading Christians?


The latest example of extreme persecution is being conducted by the militant extremist Muslim group ISIS in Iraq.  This group is currently beheading and butchering Iraqi Christians to death (source). Back in 2011 Islamic Extremists in Somalia beheaded a 17 year old Christian boy vowing to rid Somalia of Christianity (source).  However, ISIS has taken it to another demonic level by its beheading and genocide of Christians. Why is ISIS so focused on beheading Christians? What spirit is driving them to cause such atrocities against Iraqi Christians?  Let's explore what drives Muslims with such hatred to behead both Jews and Christians.



Hatred and Beheading of  Jews 


Daniel Pearl Jewish-America Journalist Brutally Beheaded


In the year 627 A.D. the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, mass-slaughtered Jews. He and his army took over the Jewish village of Bani Qurayzah.  They dug several trenches and forced  between 600 to 900 men to step inside where they were beheaded (source). Soon afterwards Muhammad enslaved the women and children of Bani Qurayzah (here).   

Does anybody remember the Jewish-American Journalist Daniel Pearl? Pearl was abducted in Pakistan by the Muslim terrorist group Al Qaeda on January 23, 2002. On February 21st of the same year, a video was released entitled "The Slaughter of the Spy-Journalist, The Jew Daniel Pearl!"  Pearl was beheaded by these Muslim terrorists on video(source/source). There is a history of Muslims beheading Jews.





Muslims' Good Deed to  Kill and Behead Jews and Christians!  

In certain aspects of Radical Islam  the killing of Americans, Christians, and Jews are seen as being a good deed to Allah.  Let's look a little closer at this mindset; a mindset that may very well be the motivating factor of the ISIS beheadings.

Former Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden stated the following on February 11, 2003:

"You should know that seeking to kill Americans and Jews everywhere in the world is one of the greatest duties[for Muslims], and the good deed most preferred by Allah, the Exalted(source)."

 Suicide bombers, for example, don't view human life as valuable.  However, they are willing to kill infidels, Christians and Jews because they believe it's a good deed to Allah (source).  

In the Yoel Natan book called "Moon-o-theism Volume 1," Page 85 states:

"An entry in popular collection of traditions called the Mishkat Al Masabih has Muhammad saying that Muslims would skip purgatory and gain immediate entrance into heaven if they only killed a Jew or Christians."

"When judgment day arrives, Allah will give every Muslim a Jew or Christian to kill so that the Muslim will not enter hell fire."

"Christian covert in Zanzibar told reporter: The Muslims are teaching people to hate Christians, that if they behead a Christian you will go to heaven(source)."


Could this be the mindset of ISIS?
