ISIS thugs crucify Christian boy aged 12 after slicing off fingertips in front of his father

Syria: ISIS savages cut off a Christian boy’s fingertips in front of his preacher father before crucifying the pair of them, it has been reported.

The terror group were trying to force Syrian Christians in a village near Aleppo to convert to their twisted interpretation of Islam.

The boy, 12, was the son of a Syrian ministry team leader who set up nine churches in the war-ravaged country.

“In front of the team leader and relatives in the crowd, the Islamic extremists cut off the fingertips of the boy and severely beat him, telling his father they would stop the torture only if he, the father, returned to Islam,” Christian Aid Mission reported.

“When the team leader refused, relatives said, the ISIS militants also tortured and beat him and the two other ministry workers. The three men and the boy then met their deaths in crucifixion.”

Eight other aid workers, including two women, were also executed for bravely standing up to the brutal militants, according to charity, which supports persecuted Christians world-wide.

The eight were taken to a separate site in the village and asked if they would return to Islam.

Horrifyingly, the women, 29 and 33, were raped before the crowd summoned to watch - continuing to pray during their harrowing ordeal.

Afterwards all eight were beheaded for refusing to turn away from their religion.

The reports of the savagery came from a ministry leader Christian Aid assists, who spoke with relatives and villagers.

“Villagers said some were praying in the name of Jesus, others said some were praying the Lord’s Prayer, and others said some of them lifted their heads to commend their spirits to Jesus,” the ministry director said.

“One of the women looked up and seemed to be almost smiling as she said, ‘Jesus!’”

Their bodies were hung on crosses for display after they were killed, he added.
