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.






OK Brothers and Sisters, gather your Prayer strength for these persecuted Christians. Pray for the souls of all these people facing such! Another sign of the times....Lord have Mercy.

When you feel you are persecuted by family and friends, remember things such as this.....we haven't even been tested yet!

Here is a link to a news story that I will not post here due to its content. I had heard something of this several years ago...but did not really pay attention. Shame on me!

IF this is indeed true....Lord have Mercy! This is sick and twisted, and we can look into the minds of our enemies. It is scary. Again, for weaker stomachs, do not read this....but for those interested in terrorist methods....this is an eye opener!
