ISIS’ Christian Victims Speak Out With An Urgent Message On How They’re Being Targeted For Extinction

Photo Credit: IJReview By Justen Charters. Following ISIS’ invasion of Iraq, Christians, Yezidis and other minorities were chased from their homes, murdered, enslaved, or displaced.

Sadly, there isn’t a lot being done to help prevent more marginalized sects from becoming victims of the Islamic State’s massacres.
