Christians in Iraq, including converts from Islam and people involved
in mixed-faith marriages, are being crucified by Muslim terrorists,
according to a Dutch member of Parliament studying the war-torn
country.
Several Iraqi Christians "are nailed to a cross and their arms are
tied up with ropes. The ropes are put on fire," Joel Voordewind told
BosNewsLife, an online news agency focusing on Christians and Jews in
difficult circumstances.
According to the site, Voordewind described how a person, who
"survived" a crucifixion, "even showed holes in his hands," apparently
from nails.
Voordewind said victims of the crucifixions are "in most cases
Christian converts who abandoned Islam or people who, religiously
speaking, are involved in mixed marriages."
He did not specify how many Christians have been crucified in recent
weeks and months, as an official report is expected soon. Voordewind
is slated to present his findings to Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs
Maxime Verhagen within the next few days.
The report comes as thousands of Christians are said to be fleeing
Iraq due to ongoing threats and violence against them. Just yesterday,
over 80 people were killed in bomb blasts in the northern Iraqi city
of Kirkuk. Most of the casualties resulted from a suicide truck bomb
which detonated near the offices of the Kurdish political party led by
Iraq's President Jalal Talabani.
BosNewsLife says Voordewind was part of a Dutch delegation visiting
several countries in the Mideast, including Syria, where several
lawmakers held talks with the terrorist group Hamas.
