ISIS' latest battle cry: Kill Christians, bomb churches

The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has set its sights on a wider stage and a greater prize: Christians and churches.

According to Charisma News, politicians view the battle with ISIS as a non-religious war. But for ISIS, it is clearly a religious battle until the end. The group has plans to kill as many Christians as possible and bomb churches whenever they come across one.

With previous attacks still fresh in people's minds, the new order to kill and strike anytime, anywhere, should prompt Christians and the Church, especially in the West, to consider their security.

The report said that Boko Haram, a brutal and infamous terror group, has pledged loyalty to ISIS. The group has previously targeted both Muslims and Christians. Under its new leader, Abu Musab al-Barnawi, Boko Haram has promised to follow ISIS' lead and focus on killing Christians and bombing churches.

According to The Daily Beast, Western nations are plotting to spread Christianity in the region using charity groups as a front to achieve this goal. This was published by the Islamic State newspaper al-Nabaa and was translated by SITE Intelligence Group.

Al-Barnawi reportedly said, "They strongly seek to Christianize the society. They exploit the condition of those who are displaced under the raging war, providing them with food and shelter and then Christianizing their children."

The group's anti-Christian statement has already started in Europe, as evidenced by the ISIS attacks in the area. In the latest issue of ISIS' online magazine, "Dabiq," ISIS described Christianity as a false religion and referred to Christians as cross worshippers. The paper encouraged attacks on churches similar to what happened in France last month.

The global focus on "cross worshippers" may be traced back to ISIS' jihadist past, a war waged by the likes of Osama bin Laden and Ayman Zawahiri against the so-called "Crusaders and Jews" around the world, the Daily Beast said.
