Islam is Peace indeed...

No large media source will cover this sort of news:
"Muslim insurgents behead 14-year-old Christian boy" --from WorldNetDaily

A website in Assyria is confirming that a 14-year-old Christian boy who was working a 12-hour shift maintaining an electric generator has been murdered by Muslim insurgents.

The Assyrian International News Agency said the tragedy was reported by an Assyrian language web page at www.ankawa.com.

The youth was identified as Ayad Tariq, who lived in Baqouba, Iraq, and was at work on Oct. 21 when a group of "disguised Muslim insurgents" went into the power plant shortly after his shift began at 6 a.m.

The website reported the insurgents asked him for his identification and, according to other witnesses who hid and stayed alive to report on the attack, questioned his identification card's reference to him as a "Christian."

Are you truly a "Christian sinner," they asked.

"Yes, I am Christian but I am not a sinner," he replied.

The insurgents then called him a "dirty Christian sinner," grabbed his limbs and held them while beheading him, the witnesses reported.

They were shouting, "Allahu akbar! Allahu Akbar!" during the murder, witnesses said.
How tragic, and yet how beautiful. The tragedy is the evil that is produced from faith in a religion rooted in darkness. The beauty is in the true Christian witness of this young man. The blood of the martyrs is the mortar of the Church. This young man's death, while gruesome and tragic, shines like a beacon in the darkness and will build the Kingdom of God.

"The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him..." - 2 Timothy 2:11-12a.
