"In a concerted and deliberate plan of ethnic cleansing, ISIS then offered Christian families three choices: convert to Islam, pay the Jizya tax (a tax of 14g of pure gold that Christians must pay in addition to normal taxes for the privilege of their faith), or leave their homes. Anyone who could not pay or refused to convert to Islam was threatened with death."
- Why am I not surprised?
"In Mosul, ISIS militants have begun to desecrate the city. They are physically rendering it into their extreme, minimalist interpretation of Islam. And their actions have not solely focused on Christian buildings. The ancient tomb of Jonah (a major landmark in Mosul which was venerated by Christians, Jews and Muslims alike) has been levelled and Shi’a shrines and mosques have been destroyed too."
- As an idol worshipping kafir who has grown up around desecrated temples, shrines and deities I can tell you this is just par for the course. Expect more to come.
ISIS should worship Isis. People tend to jump from the frying pan (monotheism) into the fire (atheism) while skipping the beneficial aspects of polytheism altogether. Polytheism teaches one respect for religious freedom of choice and diversity of thought and tradition.
By the way, the US and other well off developed countries should give asylum to these Christians and keep those barbaric backward ISIS criminals in their own self-desecrated and destroyed region to suffer the karmic results of their own behavioral choices.
