I smell propaganda

I read, Courageous Christian on death bed asks mother to forgive Isis thugs who burned her alive via IBT.

A Christian child on her death bed used her final words to ask her mother to forgive the Islamic State (Isis) thugs who burned her alive in her home. The courageous child, believed to be around 12-years-old, was burned in the Daesh (Isis) stronghold of Mosul, in northern Iraq, after her family were shaken down by the jihadists for Jaziya — a religious tax.

I smell propaganda. The author, one William Watkinson, is reporting hearsay as fact and then goes on to describe how horrible it is to be a Christian in Iraq. He feeds the Christian forgiveness trope. The bias is obvious.

To be clear, I believe that Christians are persecuted in Iraq because there is ample evidence. Do I believe the burn victim used her last words to forgive ISIS? Not at all.

Well put old friend. Isis like the Christian faith attacked other Christians in they're war against Heretical Christians as deemed so by the church in Rome. It is an old playbook being used in the 21st century. It is sad that we have come so far, and so many are in the Christian sense left behind? LOL ! Just another example of why people of faith are a danger to all those around them, and even themselves.

I feel it. I feel like they are left behind in another reality. One that is make believe and bears little resemblance to what we experience today.
