(Independent) A 12 year old Christian girl who suffered severe burns after ISIS Jihadists set fire in the bathroom were the girl was showering in.
The girls mother described how ISIS Thugs had set fire to the family home in Iraq Mosul, after they failed to pay the ‘Jaziya’ (religious tax) imposed on all non-Muslims immediately.
Human Rights activist Jacqueline Issac said, “The ISIS foreign fighters were at the door and they told her ‘you have two choices, you are to leave now or you are to pay the Jaziya.”

Flashback: Remember when Hillary Clinton said that one is to show “respect for ones enemies, trying to understand…empathize with their perspective and point of view.”
Last week a leading Cleric in Baghdad said the country’s Christian population could disappear within 5 years because of the ISIS threat.
Fr. Martin Hermis Dawood said that he used to advise members of his congregation who were contemplating fleeing the country to stay strong but since the emergence of ISIS two years ago he know encourages them to leave immediately.
Iraqi Christian leaders estimate the total number of Chaldean Catholics, Syrian Orthodox and members of the eastern Assyrian Church has declined from 1.3 million twenty years ago to fewer than 400,000 today – in the past two years, ISIS has displaced more than 200,000 Christians from the northern region of Nineveh the Daily Telegraph reports.
Fr. Dawood said, “We are in the middle, we have seen it. When newspapers published cartoons about the (false) prophet Mohammed, it was in Europe but gangs tried to assault Christians here. — We know very well that not every Muslim here is a terrorist but there is a culture rising not only here in Iraq but the Middle East. There’s a struggle happening in the whole world and we will be burned in this fire in the future.”
