Muslim insurgents behead 14-year-old Christian boy
World Net Daily ^ | October 31, 2006

A website in Assyria is confirming that a 14-year-old Christian boy who was working a 12-hour shift maintaining an electric generator has been murdered by Muslim insurgents.

The Assyrian International News Agency said the tragedy was reported by an Assyrian language web page at www.ankawa.com.

The youth was identified as Ayad Tariq, who lived in Baqouba, Iraq, and was at work on Oct. 21 when a group of "disguised Muslim insurgents" went into the power plant shortly after his shift began at 6 a.m.

The website reported the insurgents asked him for his identification and, according to other witnesses who hid and stayed alive to report on the attack, questioned his identification card's reference to him as a "Christian."

Are you truly a "Christian sinner," they asked.

"Yes, I am Christian but I am not a sinner," he replied.

The insurgents then called him a "dirty Christian sinner," grabbed his limbs and held them while beheading him, the witnesses reported.

They were shouting, "Allahu akbar! Allahu Akbar!" during the murder, witnesses said.

An organization called AssyrianChristians.com said they are the indigenous people of Iraq, with a population that has been in the Middle East from the time of Christ.

However, they have faced a number of purges by the region's rulers over time, including the present attacks by powerful Islamic factions across Iran, Iraq and neighboring nations, officials said.

Only two generations back, Assyrian Christians made up 20 percent of the population of the Middle East, but during the Assyrian Genocide of 1915, an estimated three million Christians were slaughtered there, the organization said.

Current estimates are that there are about 2.5 million Assyrian Christians in Iraq.

Kenneth Scott LaTourette wrote in "A History of Christianity" that the Assyrian Christians became the first nation to accept Christianity, and one of the largest missionary-sending peoples in Christian history.

"The Assyrian Christians are one of the last remaining Christian communities in the Middle East," said Rev. Ken Joseph Jr., of the Assyrian Christians organization.

Tens of thousands of Assyrian Christians have fled their traditional homelands in recent months, officials confirmed.

If this is not proof of Satan's existance on Earth then nothing is.

This is the face of Evil, its clothes are Islam.

I DON'T CARE If he was a Nestorian Christian or an Orthodox Christian or a Catholic Christian or a Coptic Christian or a Protestant or an Evangelist or Baptist, the fact remains that the MUSLIMS killed a cHRISTIAN because he was Christian. Our little differences mean NOTHING in the face of that.

Indeed sir. Remember also they were burning Protestant, Orthodox, Catholic, and Anglican churches after the Popes speech. The muslims make no distinction between us Christians.

Stop struggling. Don't you remember God telling the Israelites to kill the Amalekites every man, woman, and child including their beasts. Also WHO do you think the Messiah is going to kill when He returns? He is not coming back as the lamb but as the Warrior/King and will SLAY ALL THE WICKED.

Enough of the "christian" struggle to love our enemies. We are to hate what God hates and God hates evil. These people are pure evil.

Maybe so. I was just wondering if it really happened.

And it will never get reported, because it doesn't advance the chosen story line.

Well, I'm getting tired of people who make outlandish claims that in my experience are untrue. I've never heard or seen or read any report in the reputable mainstream press supporting beheading, yet that's what you seem to be saying.

This is something I've seen with increasing frequency - making outrageous and false claims that go unchallenged. Look above to Earthdweller's reply No. 113 - he or she answers the question, "Oh - Ok. So your opinion is that the MSM is rooting for Islamic people who kill kids?" with one word: Yes.

I find that amazing.

Does anyone actually believe that? Do you? And if so, please cite a reference.

They have to want our help before it would be meaningful. Anything less would be considered forcing our culture upon others

They as in Iraq's Christians (2% of the population) WANT our help. they as in Egypt's Christians WANT our help. They are in Pakistan's Christians WANT our help... We cannot trust Muslims in America or out of it. We cannot let that ideology survive, just like we destroyed Naziism, we must destroy Islam.

I presume your Luke quotation is meant tongue-in-cheek because it's way out of theological context.

How do you interpret the Luke passage?

"Thank-you for demonstrating the point."

What planet have you been on since 9/11?

Look around...everything is politics in the MSM but the MSM does not reflect life or reality. The bias tract that the liberal MSM has taken is in support of Islamofascists and they are blood thirsty killers. Period.

well, we'll still have our little debates over the Bible and with our Orthodox friends :) But at the end of the day, we shake hands. When we face a common enemy, the great evil, we have no alternative but to stand together.

Do you not think that the MSM has picked sides in Iraq?

You don't have the time to provide specific examples but you do have time to continue to make unsubstantiated claims.

Fine.

Whatever.

...and let the Crusade begin anew

I'd love to see the Pope begin procedings to canonize Richard Couer de Leon, and Godfroi de Bouillion; then declare Islam anathema, and Muhammad Antichrist. And I'm not even Catholic. Declare the crusade and unleash the dogs of war!

Your point is taken, but I would remind you of a famous line from a famous hymn (not equating it with scripture of course), but: "As He died to make us holy let us die to make men free, His Truth is marching on."

The only problem with your philosophy is that to do so we would be in direct conflict with sovereign Governments who are run primarily by these monsters. America is too P. C. to be effective and take the steps necessary in this type of war. As an earlier poster stated we'd probably do better in this kind of war over 100 years ago. That does not mean I disagree with your position.
