Muslim
Persecution of Christians, November 2016

"They [ISIS] cut his
stomach open and shot him before leaving him hanging, crucified."
ISIS planted explosive devices
in teddy bears and toys that would be detonated when children picked them up;
they killed families.
One Iraqi Christian man from
Qaraqosh, who survived ISIS, said: "Obama has never helped the Christians.
In fact, he despises them. In the last 26 months, he has shown he despises all
of them. But we have hope in the new president, Trump."
"Here, where we have been
accommodated presently, we are exposed to the same kinds of threats as before,
this time at the hand of Afghan Muslims, and we fear for our lives... The
Afghan refugees... call us Iranian Christians 'apostates' and 'infidels'
because of our decision to leave Islam and consider the shedding of our blood
as legitimate (or even necessary)." — Iranian refugee, Germany.
"I said... 'I'm in
Europe, I'm free, I'm in a free country.' They said, 'No, you are not free, you
are in the Jungle. The Jungle has Kurdish rule here – leave this camp.' The
smugglers were from inside the camp, and were Kurdish. They said to me, 'We
will tell the Algerians and Moroccans to kill you.'" — Kurdish church
leader in a refugee center, France.
Reports of Christian life
under the Islamic State (ISIS) continued throughout November. Many of these
came from the ancient Christian towns surrounding Mosul, such as Batnaya and
Qaraqosh, conquered by ISIS in August, 2014, and liberated in late October,
2016.
One Christian man, Esam, from
Qaraqosh, related what ISIS did after his sister's husband refused to convert
to Islam: "He was crucified and tortured in front of his wife and
children, who were forced to watch. They [ISIS] told him that if he loved Jesus
that much, he would die like Jesus."
The Islamic militants tortured
his brother-in-law from 6 in the evening until 11: "[T]hey cut his stomach
open and shot him before leaving him hanging, crucified." Two other
members of Esam's family, a Christian couple, were abducted and separated by
ISIS. To this day, the husband does not know where his wife is; he only knows
that she was turned into a concubine, a sex-slave.
