Words fail. I thought the beheadings were ghastly... burned alive in a cage?
Subhuman dark ages stuff.
They dumped a front end loader full of stone on top of the corpse to boot. Smashed the cage and the corpse.
Shades of the ancient Druids!
What’s new? Islam always has been imposed by the sword.
REMEMBER THE CHRISTIAN MARTYRS OF OTRANTO (1480) AND FAMAGOSTA (1570)
What’s new? Islam always has been imposed by the sword.
History repeats itself…
On May 12, 2013, Pope Francis Set to Canonize 800 Christians Slaughtered By Muslims in Otranto in 1480.
Those who depict Islam as a “religion of peace” are ignoring History, and as Spanish philosopher, George Santayana said: “Those who do not learn from history are damned to repeat it.”
OBAMA: ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE
THE REAL FACE OF ISLAM
OTRANTO - MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS BY MUSLIMS (1480)
800 Italians Men Beheaded in Otranto in 1480 for Refusing Islam, by the Turks, with the Approval of Sultan Mehmet II
On August 14, 1480, a massacre happened on a hill outside the city of Otranto, in southern Italy, here 800 of the town’s men were taken to a place called the Hill of the Minerva, and, one by one, beheaded in full view of their fellow prisoners. It became known as the Hill of the Martyrs.
They died because they refused to convert to Islam. The 800 men of Otranto were martyrs. But due to their sacrifice, however, the Ottoman invasion was slowed and Rome was spared the same fate that had befallen Constantinople only 27 years before.
THE SIEGE AND MASSACRE CHRISTIANS IN FAMAGOSTA (1570)
The Muslims loosed all his fury upon this city for three months. The Italian women fought at the side of their men. The children carried dirt and ammunition.
In August, forced by hunger, Bragadino agreed to surrender, if the Turks would spare their lives. Mustaphá agreed; but a soon as the Christians had laid down their arms, he had them tortured and butchered, woman, children and men. The valiant general Bragadino was skinned alive. There were other atrocities too horrible to mention.
Mustaphá went sailing in quest of the Christian fleet with the stuffed skin of Bragadino swinging from his yardarm.
