Armenian Slaughtered for Refusing to Renounce Christ

Raymond Ibrahim – 11/1/14

Following the other day’s news that two Armenian families in Syria had been compelled to convert to Islam at the hands of the terrorist organization, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)—which, nonetheless, claimed that the conversions were done “willingly”—new information has emerged concerning the recent killing of a young Armenian man, Minas, for refusing to convert to Islam, again at the hands of ISIL.

He was reportedly killed in one of ISIL’s dungeons in Aleppo, north Syria, which has a notable Armenian minority.

According to iNews, “Minas and his father were held in ISIL’s prison for 115 days, according to one activist, and his accusation was that he refused to submit [to Islam, i.e., convert].”

iNews adds that activists from the region sent the above picture, saying it is of the slain Minas. Other activists confirm that the picture is of a slain Armenian in Syria, but not of Minas. In any case, the man appears to be wearing the garments of the Armenian Evangelical Church of Aleppo.

The same report mentions other Christian Armenians killed, including one who reportedly had “his head chopped off and placed in a biscuit box.”

    I do not have words to express how I feel. Is this really what they preach?
    Those who did this to an innocent man,will certainly burn in eternal hell.

    Armenia was the first country in the history of the world to declare itself a Christian nation; which is why our Founders named America… America in honor of them and not because of the explorer as so many mistakenly teach. Armenians have suffered more at the hands of Islam for their witness than perhaps any other country in the history of the world and it is time this stops. It is time for the world to unit and declare the practice of Islam as a crime against humanity and make it illegal to practice this cult of hate.

    Peace Karen ..but Assyria was the first country to adopt Christianity around 190 AD ! Well before Armenia ! Sad that few recognize Assyria today or its right to again exist as a nation.

    God Bless his family with comfort in the knowledge that he is now in Heaven with his Savior and his Father, our God! To be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord!
