The Orthodox Christian Network quoted the ‘vicar of Baghdad’, Mr Canon Andrew White, that the killings happened in a Christian enclave close to Baghdad which has been taken over by ISIS
He spoke of how Isis has “hounded” the Christians out of Iraq, and how
“they killed in huge numbers, they chopped their children in half, they chopped their heads off, and they moved north and it was so terrible what happened”.
He continued:
“militants came to one of our people the other day, one of the Christians”.Canon White claimed that the children who were beheaded had refused to “follow Mohammed”.
“They said to one man, an adult, ‘Either you say the words of conversion to Islam or we kill all your children’.
“He was desperate, he said the words. And then he phoned me, and said, ‘Abouna [Father], I said the words, does that mean that Yeshua doesn’t’ love me anymore?’ I said, ‘Yeshua still loves you, he will always love you”.
“Isis turned up and said to the children, ‘You say the words that you will follow Mohammed’.”
“The children, all under 15, four of them, said no, we love Yeshua, we have always loved we have always followed Yeshua, Yeshua has always been with us.
“They said: ‘Say the words.’ They said ‘No, we can’t.’ They chopped all their heads off. How do you respond to that? You just cry.”
