With Final Words, Christian Girl Begs Forgiveness for ISIS for Killing Her
The National Catholic Register ^ | 5/23/16 | Matthew Archbold

Posted on 05/23/2016 6:42:18 PM PDT by marshmallow

The young daughter of an Iraqi Christian family burned alive by ISIS used her final moments in her mother's arms to beg forgiveness for her killers.

Jihadists reportedly arrived at the family's home in Mosul seeking to collect a fine that the Muslims charge Christians called "Jaziya." They told the mother that the family must pay instantly or evacuate the home. The mother simply begged for a few moments as her 12 year old daughter was in the shower. They did not wait. Instead, they immediately set the house ablaze.

The girl was severely burned in the fire. Her mother did get her outside the house but the girl died just a few hours later in a local hospital. The little girl died in her mother's arms. Her last words were "forgive them."

The plight of Christians in the Middle East has long been ignored. This should not be. Especially by Christians. I pray for the family of this little girl. I pray for her soul. I pray for those committing violence against Christians. I also can't help but wonder if, as a parent, I would have the strength to forgive. I do not know that I would.

By the time the world wakes up and snaps to attention, the resulting released rage might leave no Muslim alive on the planet.

#1 ~ from the article :

The world seems to be darkening, especially for Christians. Violence against Christians is rampant worldwide. Religious freedom is disappearing in the U.S. and Europe. Ruthlessness seems to be the hallmark of our world. Forgiveness must be the at the center of any world we try to rebuild.

Comments, opinions?

No, to the contrary, it seems no matter what horrors these racicals do, the American people still have some sympathy for them in their long-term “Stockholm syndrome” failure.

I see Christianity growing in so many other places. Perhaps the West has given up on God, so He is giving up on them. For example, I have travelled to Vietnam several times. On Sundays in the South, I see the churches literally overflowing with people during services. They fill the steps and courtyards the churches are so packed.

And that sums up the difference. This is a mortal combat for the soul of humanity....

We really need to pray.

That young girl is in the arms of the Savior.

A non-event as far as the liberal MS is concerned; it’s all those bigoted Christian businesses that refuse service to the GAYSTAPO that is newsworthy to them.

>>Forgiveness must be the at the center of any world we try to rebuild.

The ones who willingly convert must be forgiven and their past never brought up again. “Forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors.”

But those who don’t convert need to be sent to be with their allah or they will cause the ones who found Jesus to falter.

Could the fac our government is letting the OIC work case files have something to do with it?

Not only should we stop taking Muslims refugees we should send the ones already here elsewhere.

~ #11 ~

“For example, I have travelled to Vietnam several times. On Sundays in the South, I see the churches literally overflowing with people during services. They fill the steps and courtyards the churches are so packed.”

Possibly the Vietnamese have a stronger connection to the eternal?

Is it simply because they have weaker connection to the temporal (having a lower standard of living than more ‘advanced societies’)??

The “Pope” doubts it...

“This is mortal combat for the soul of humanity”

Exactly...and there are those who are willing giving over their souls to support evil...all we can do is pray without ceasing

It was said once that most Christians can maintain their faith through persecution, but few can through prosperity...
