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.

Liberal democrats are now trying to figure out what the boy did to provoke his beheading.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

Sooner or later ALL non-Muslims are going to have to realize that Muslims want ALL non-Muslims D...E...A...D!

And anyone who doesn't realize it, hasn't been to the Middle East.

I simply struggle with Christ's command to love, forgive, and not to be stirred to anger or hatred.

I understand and appreciate your struggle to follow Christ's teachings. I don't have that struggle. I gave that struggle up at my first sight of a mass grave in 1998. I do not need to hate the islamofascists, but I will never forgive them, that is our God's job in my view. I am deploying in a few months to Iraq. I am taking my fathers Combat Bible from Vietnam with me and my cross on my dog-tags.

These animals want to meet their "god". That's fine. I'll help fill their "god's" appointment book. And I will do my utmost to make sure these animals stay away from the USA. That is my duty and the oath I swore before the US Flag, its Constitution, and God.

Unfortunately, I think they are already here and they are already killing Christians, Jews, and others whenever possible. To bad the leftists in America are not only willfully blinded to this danger, but are actively assisting the islamofascists.

Luke 22:36
He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

Numbers 25:16-17
The LORD said to Moses, "Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them".

And they had to cover their faces to do it. I have zero tolerance to Muslims now and its a shame as I never felt hatred toward a religion before. All these beheadings make me sick. Muslim fanatics won't stop unless we kill them or they behead us. Prayers for the boy and his family.

1Peter 3:13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

3:17 For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

This young Christian man will be comforted and richly rewarded by God for standing up for Jesus Christ. - OB1
