The victims, dressed in orange jump suits, were beheaded after being forced down on the ground. The video appeared on the Twitter feed of a website that supports Islamic State.
“Twenty-one Egyptian Christians kidnapped by Isis in Libya around New Year’s are feared dead, after Twitter accounts linked to the Libyan branch of the so-called “Islamic State” announced they had been slaughtered.
There is no official confirmation yet but Egyptian media believe the news to be reliable and two pictures released by the same Twitter sources show what they describe as “the Islamic State carrying out the execution of Coptic prisoners in the province of Tripoli”.
In the first picture five men wearing the notorious orange jumpsuit are kneeling while hooded hangmen armed with knives stand behind them.THE CAPTION, WRITTEN IN ENGLISH, DESCRIBES THEM AS “THE HUMILIATED FOLLOWERS OF THE COPTIC CHURCH”. In another picture more men wearing the orange jumpsuit appear in a line with their executioners under a message in English that reads “revenge for the Muslim women persecuted by Coptic crusaders in Egypt”. These pictures along with others were published by Dabiq, Isis’ online magazine in English, together with an announcement of the kidnapping but not of the execution.”

So tragic. The problem is that someone is funding ISIS, therefore supporting them. I doubt that that support is coming from the West. I doubt if enough support is available from goat herding “friends”. It must be coming from the very people that we think are allies. What a complete joke on us and tragedy for the world. Outside of a recently stepped on Jordanians, where are the Islamic deterrents in this fight? A “peaceful” religion should stand up for what they believe and not expect someone else to.
Feeling I wanted to bear witness, I watched the entire 5 minute video, and felt absolutely sick and nauseous. I prayed throughout. These evil men think they have ‘humiliated’ their helpless captives. Our Lord said that “if the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.” The Coptic Christians killed in such a cruel and ghastly manner, in hatred of the faith, have won the martyrs crown. I hope this brings comfort to their families and friends that love them. Let us keep their families, friends, and Coptic communities in our prayers, and ask the martyrs to pray for us, and especially that no more killings take place.
Teddy Roosevelt, 1916:
“Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, an on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated. Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor. …..The civilization of Europe, American and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization because of victories through the centuries from Charles Martel in the eighth century and those of John Sobieski in the seventeenth century. During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors; and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from the two continents;”
