14 Year Old Iraqi Christian Beheaded By Muslim Group
The Assyrian News Association is reporting that a 14 year old Christian Assyrian was decapitated at his work place on October 21.

Ayad Tariq was working a maintenance shift when a group of Muslim insurgents came to his work just after the beginning of his shift and asked him for his ID.

Another employee witnessed the events. The witness was a fellow worker who hid when the insurgents came in.

“they questioned Ayad after seeing that his ID stated “Christian”, and asked if he was truly a “Christian sinner.” Ayad replied “yes, I am Christian but I am not a sinner.” The insurgents quickly said this is a “dirty Christian sinner!” Then they proceeded to each hold one limb, shouting “Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!” while beheading the boy.
