Report: Christians in Iraq are crucified, lit on fire


Christians in Iraq, including converts from Islam and people involved in mixed-faith marriages, are being crucified by Muslim terrorists, according to a Dutch member of Parliament studying the war-torn country.

Several Iraqi Christians "are nailed to a cross and their arms are tied up with ropes. The ropes are put on fire," Joel Voordewind told BosNewsLife, an online news agency focusing on Christians and Jews in difficult circumstances.

According to the site, Voordewind described how a person, who "survived" a crucifixion, "even showed holes in his hands," apparently from nails.

Voordewind said victims of the crucifixions are "in most cases Christian converts who abandoned Islam or people who, religiously speaking, are involved in mixed marriages."

I'm shocked at the cruelty of it all, and am even a tad skeptical. Taking people and nailing them to a cross, tying them up with ropes and setting them on fire takes an extra special inclination towards cruelty. A gun shot or stab was not sufficient-- they had to make a big spectacle out of it.

This should be on the evening news.
