Report: Christians Crucified by Terrorists in Iraq
The terrorist representing the so-called “ever so tolerant and peaceful” religion of Islam, have added a new way to die, this one earmarked for their Christian victims: death by crucification on a cross.
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.”
He did not specify how many Christians have been crucified in recent weeks and months, as an official report is expected soon. Voordewind is slated to present his findings to Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Verhagen within the next few days.
The report comes as thousands of Christians are said to be fleeing Iraq due to ongoing threats and violence against them. Just yesterday, over 80 people were killed in bomb blasts in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk. Most of the casualties resulted from a suicide truck bomb which detonated near the offices of the Kurdish political party led by Iraq’s President Jalal Talabani.
BosNewsLife says Voordewind was part of a Dutch delegation visiting several countries in the Mideast, including Syria, where several lawmakers held talks with the terrorist group Hamas.

This is awful! It is unimaginable what these Christians must endure because of their faith. The time is quickly approaching where all Christians (even in One Nation under God) will be persecuted for our faith. The sad thing is that our government is supporting this country’s move away from its Christian foundation and favoring Islam.
I truly believe that the prince of this world is using many (not all) of our leaders as pawns in his futile game. For what other reason would we allow our country to become so unashamedly anti-God?
Just like the Israelites during the exodus, we have turned our backs on the God who has shown Himself to our nation time and time again and we have turned to blatant idol-worship. I just do not believe that God will allow this to continue much longer. It is obvious that the countries who are listed in scripture as “end-times players” are gearing up for the big finale. Too bad satan has blinded so many here on earth so they cannot see the truth of what is happening in fast forward!
It is time for Christians to pray like never before - we need to pray for the lost, we need to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters, and we need to pray for Jesus to rapture us outta here!
