ISIS is holding many more Assyrian Christians hostage than previously thought -- and it is reportedly planning to release a message Wednesday threatening to kill them.

Osama Edward, founder of the Assyrian Human Rights Network, told CNN that the extremist group is now believed to have 150 hostages, citing the latest information from the network's team on the ground.

The video message will be directed to President Barack Obama and other members of the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS, Edward said from Stockholm, Sweden.

The Assyrians were kidnapped early Monday from villages near Tal Tamer in northeastern Syria

History repeats itself:

Rashidun Caliphate (632–661)
Umayyad Caliphate (661–750)
Abbasid Caliphate (750–1517)
Fatimid Caliphate (909–1171)
Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba (929–1031)
Almohad Caliphate (1147–1269)
Ottoman Caliphate (1453/1517–1924)
Sharifian Caliphate (1924–1925)
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (2014–2015)

The solution repeats itself ... kill Muslims.

This is happening while US military might is being paraded in Estonia, just 300 yards from the Russian border. Couldn't they be better used protecting Christians in Syria and Iraq?

Beyond disgusted.

Each ISIS atrocity is to be outdone by their next one - they vie to be more horrific each time ...

What military might??? A few tanks? We would flee if Russia actually came across into Estonia and not fight, thanks to Obama.

I’m sure that John Kerry will send ISIS a strongly worded letter of protest.

Gee, ISIS will be shitting in their sheets.

Way to go, Hanoi John.

The only reason Obama is PO’d at Putin now is not because of the Ukraine or anything else but because Putin is fighting back against Muslim terrorists and supporting the other countries that are also doing so.
