Christians 'Crucified Again' for Refusing Islam
Raymond Ibrahim / American Thinker
To the awe of its readership, a recent Daily Mail article reports that the “jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and Levant [ISIL],” which is currently entrenched in Raqqa, Syria, “publicly crucified two Syrian rebels in northeastern Syria in revenge for a grenade attack on members of their group.”
While the Daily Mail is to be commended for exposing these brutal acts – along with posting photos of the crucified – it nonetheless minimized their significance, in two important ways: 1) by repeatedly saying things like “even al-Qaeda is distancing itself from ISIL,” and so implying that the act of crucifixion is some wild aberration such that even the poster-child of jihadi terror, al-Qaeda, wants nothing to do with ISIL; and 2) ignoring the much “sexier” story that Christians in Syria are also being crucified simply for refusing to recant Christ and embrace Islam – as opposed to the rather mundane story of Islamic jihadis crucifying each other in the context of vendetta killings.
Consider the atrocities earlier committed in Ma‘loula, Syria, an ancient Christian village where the inhabitants still spoke Aramaic, the language of Christ.
According to recent Arabic news media, “a Syrian nun testified to the Vatican news agency that some Christians in Ma‘loula were crucified for refusing to convert to Islam or pay jizya” (tribute subjugated Christians are required to pay to their Islamic conquerors in order to exist as Christians, per Koran 9:29).
Incidentally, they were crucified by the al-Qaeda-linked Nasra Front. So much for the Daily Mail’s portrayal of al-Qaeda “distancing” itself from the apparently “extra-extremist” ISIL for crucifying its victims.

This is an old article and photo…
At least be honest, They are tied to the cross, not crucified. Big difference.
how can this be? we are all one with the catholic church now. one of the islam guys visited the pope and agreed with this. there is a u tube video about it. i guess these people here didn’t get the e-mail. let’s just hope this nun paid her jizya. gotta pay your jizya. alrighty then.
Excuse me while I remove my blood from the boiling point.
