JIHADI’S SHARE AND CAPTION THIS PHOTO ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES “OUR YOUNGEST HOSTAGE FROM AMONG THE HOSTILE SECTS OF KESSAB” KESSAB IS A MAJORITY CHRISTIAN VILLAGE.
According to Sham Times and other Arabic websites, jihadi social media networks posted the above picture of a child sitting on the ground while surrounded by armed men pointing their rifles at him. The caption appearing with the picture, purportedly posted by a supporter of the Free Syrian Army, is “Our youngest hostage from among the hostile sects of Kessab.”

Kessab is a predominantly Christian Armenian village in Syria near the Turkish border. Earlier it was invaded by jihadis, who terrorized, pillaged churches, and prompted some 2000 residents to flee. Initial reports had stated that about a dozen families remained as hostages.
Since the picture appeared on Arabic social media, many have expressed shock and outrage, condemning the Syrian “rebels,” while others cast doubt on the authenticity of the picture.
Of course, those wondering what the jihadis have to gain from taking such a picture and making it public would do well to remember that these are the same “rebels” who decapitate people and wave their severed and bloodied heads in front of cameras while smiling; these are the same “freedom fighters” who literally eat their victims on camera.
Surely “teasing” an infidel toddler – a subhuman – with their rifles and sharing it with their sadistic comrades via the Internet for a “laugh” should not be too surprising?
At any rate, the fact remains: the “Free Syrian Army,” along with other “rebel” groups operating in Syria, are guilty of countless barbaric crimes against humanity — including against women and children.

UPDATE: Commenter LeviDocker at PJ Tatler posts a very apt excerpt from Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s classic work, The Brothers Karamazov, which follows:
These Turks took a pleasure in torturing children, too; cutting the unborn child from the mother’s womb, and tossing babies up in the air and catching them on the points of their bayonets before their mothers’ eyes. Doing it before the mothers’ eyes was what gave zest to the amusement. Here is another scene that I thought very interesting. Imagine a trembling mother with her baby in her arms, a circle of invading Turks around her. They’ve planned a diversion: they pet the baby, laugh to make it laugh. They succeed, the baby laughs. At that moment a Turk points a pistol four inches from the baby’s face. The baby laughs with glee, holds out its little hands to the pistol, and he pulls the trigger in the baby’s face and blows out its brains. Artistic, wasn’t it? By the way, Turks are particularly fond of sweet things, they say.

One small voice cries out for the Persecuted Church. More than 100,000,000 Christians around the world are at risk of persecution. It has become one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet, today! It is ”a crisis point in history” that can no longer be overlooked, or millions more will suffer! Sadly it’s a crisis that not enough people realize exists. Unfortunately the western media rarely reports the extreme persecution inflicted on our Christian brothers and sisters, worldwide. We are called by our God to stand up for all who are destitute, to remember the prisoners as if imprisoned ourselves and to be a VOICE for the persecuted Church! Join us, we CAN make a difference!

That is so revolting…how anyone can do such things is beyond my comprehension.
We are feeling the same. It’s unimaginable what these children must be going through. It seems the world has turned upside down. The children in parts of Africa are going through much of the same.
Sickening! The depths of human depravity have hit an all-time low sending tentacles that reach right into the gates of hell! To watch this type of demonic act is to see the face of the devil himself. I cannot explain it any better.
In agreement, Sister!
Any source of love and empathy has clearly gone from their hearts and minds. How should we feel about those who commit such abominations? What brainwashing must they have suffered to be capable of such horrors? What evil has now been allowed to enter them?
Lord, you alone have the power to turn hearts and minds. Seeing this picture, we think that enough is enough and that it cannot be Your will. You stopped Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus, stop the arms of these persecutors. We pray with all our heart, with all our fervor in the name of your Son Jesus, our Savior
