DEPRAVED Islamic State jihadis have savagely sliced of the fingertips of a 12-year-old Christian boy whose family refused to convert to Islam. The youngster was badly beaten before his digits were chopped off in an act of rage by ISIS barbarians after he and 11 other Syrians refused to renounce their Christian faith. The extremist fighters told his father the torture would only stop if he returned to Islam.
But when the family refused, the entire group was butchered in a mass beheading.
Even as they lay dying they defied the evil militants crying ‘Jesus’ at the jihadists.
According to Christian Aid Mission, the public torture and execution took place on August 28 in a village close to the ISIS stronghold of Aleppo, Syria. The ministry director told Christian Aid: “Villagers said some were praying in the name of Jesus.One of the women looked up and seemed to be almost smiling as she said, ‘Jesus!'”
A separate group of eight Christian aid workers, including two women, were also killed for refusing to shun their faith. After they refused to renounce Christ, the women, aged 29 and 33, were raped in front of a crowd summoned to watch, and then all eight were beheaded.
The early church was built on the blood of the martyrs. These are martyrs of our time who are suffering just as much as the saints of the first and second centuries. I pray the Christian faith will be strengthened by their sacrifice – at the moment all I see is at best naivity; otherwise weakness.

Its in the Quran 8:12
Yusuf Ali: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”
