Jihadists in Iraq beheaded four Christian children, after the latter refused to change their religion and follow Islam.
A British parish vicar of Baghdad, according to the Mirror newspaper, claims that ISIS members persecute Christians outside their homes and threaten to kill their children if they don’t convert to Islam, while he claimed that jihadists beheaded four children for refusing to embrace Islam.
He argues that the beheadings occurred in a Christian neighborhood near Baghdad.
Cannon White, who has been ordered by the Archbishop of Canterbury to leave Iraq for his own safety, is one of the few Christian community leaders still in Iraq.
He noted: “Things were bad in Baghdad. Bombs, gunfire, people killed, so many returned to Nineveh. They considered they were safe, but ISIS fighters entered the town and chased down Christians. They killed many of them, captured their children and beheaded them. It was horrible”.
“The other day they caught a Christian and told him: You either convert to Islam or your Children die. He was desperate, what would he do? After a while he called me and asked me: I said I convert, does this mean Jesus no longer loves me? I replied to him: He does, and always will”, said the vicar.
