IS jihadists kidnap 90 Christians in Syria: monitor

— Reuters/File
BEIRUT: Jihadists from the Islamic State group have kidnapped at least 90 Assyrian Christians in northeast Syria, a monitor said on Wednesday.

The abductions took place on Tuesday after IS seized two Assyrian villages from Kurdish forces in the province of Hassakeh, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Britain-based monitor had no details on the missing Assyrians, who were taken from two villages — Tal Shamiram and Tal Hermuz — after they were attacked by IS.

IS has destroyed churches and Christian shrines in Syria, and demanded that Christians living under its rule pay a tax known as jizya.

In Libya, IS jihadists last week released a video showing the beheadings of 21 mostly Egyptian Christians.

Much of Hassakeh is divided between Kurdish and IS control.

Fighters from the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) have been on the offensive in the province in recent days.

They have taken 24 villages and hamlets as part of an operation to try to recapture the town of Tal Hamis and surrounding areas.

Tal Hamis lies to the east of the villages taken by IS on Tuesday.

YPG forces have also been on the offensive in Raqa province, which neighbours Hassakeh, seizing 19 villages as they advance following their recapture of the strategic border town of Kobane last month.

The Kurdish forces have been backed by US-led air strikes launched by the international coalition fighting IS.

The Observatory said the coalition carried out a series of strikes around Tal Hamis on Tuesday that killed 14 IS members.

Yea, time to drop about 1000 JDAM's on these bas-terds and on anyone else who commits violence and terrorism by spreading their religion via force and murders!!

This an opportunity for the allied forces to level the two villages where these ISIS terrorists are hiding, if these hostages aren't released by these rag tag militia ASAP.

What did you have for breakfast? Stupidity with scrambled eggs??! What does Obama has to do with what the ISIS terrorists are doing? If you are referring to his statements about India, the entire world is fighting the ISIS. No one's fighting Indian religious nutt cases. How about you fix your internal religious terrorists yourself? Remember, if you want to be a leader in the world and sit on the driving seat, you'll need to show the world that you are tolerant of others and can maintain peace and stability inside India. Otherwise you don't look any different than Afghanistan or Pakistan when it comes to spreading forceful religious ideologies and associated violence and killings of innocent Indians who come from a different faith!!!

Missionaries don't have elected officials with decades of support to mass murdering of their minorities. Missionaries also don't claim to forcefully turn any country into a Christian state by 2030 or 2040, they prwach, people who convert, convert based on the message they hear and like. No one gets killed, raped, tortured or burnt alive like it happens in India.

Please don'T preach that. Go and read history of France and how Vatican was established. Even Orthodox and protestants will agree with me.

We are not talking about 200 or 5000 years ago. If you kill minorities in India because someone did that many decades ago, that's the stupidest argument you can ever make. Killing of innocents is unacceptable in all cases. In this case, it is totally fuked up that you can actually support it by relating to someone's actions from decades ago. We are talking about religion based terrorism in India and in 2015. Not elsewhere, decades or centuries ago!!

You said, people convert on the basis of message. I am fully aware of how missionaries try to start a talk on a train and if you entertain them, the next day they will reach your home and say, join our church and you will be sorrow free.
