TERRIFYING NEW TERRORIST SCHEME: Islamic State FORBIDS all remaining Christians from leaving Syrian stronghold

Terrorist organization issues new decree forbidding faithful from leaving Raqqa.

Fear erupts for all remaining Christians in ISIS' Syrian stronghold, Raqqa, as the terrorist organization has issued a new decree forbidding all Christians or Armenians from leaving the city.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Since the beginning of ISIS' horror reign in Iraq and Syria, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been violently forced to run from their homes. Now, an estimated 43 Christian families continue to live in the city and questions over ISIS' terrifying plans for them are very prominent.

"The suffering of Christians began with ISIS control of Raqqa," activist group, Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently posted on their website, according to Foreign Desk News. "ISIS looks at Christians as infidels loyal to the West more than their loyalty to their homeland."

ISIS has been known to show no mercy to anyone of Christian religion, with so many acts of murder and violence terrorizing the religion that Christian Genocide has been officially recognized as real and happening now.

"Daesh is genocidal by self-proclamation, by ideology, and by actions - in what it says, what it believes, and what it does," Secretary of State John Kerry stated in the New York Times, using the Arabic name for ISIS, declaring ISIS' actions genocide.

According to Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, the Christians left in Raqqa have survived this long because they were paying a tax to ISIS, following Sharia law and were being protected by Muslim neighbors. Further reports reveal the Christians are now being forced to study Islamist teachings of the jihad.

"The intent is enough, because the intention was to destroy. This is a perfect example of genocide," former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo expressed in an interview last year with The New York Times, noting on ISIS' continuous acts of hate against the Christian religion.

News of ISIS' latest scheme comes just days after militants were forced out of Palmyra by the Syrian government's forces and Russian airstrikes. The loss of the ancient city is seen as a major defeat for the terror group and may have pushed the group over the edge.

The world is currently left with no answers on the ultimate fate of those Christian families, but we are not helpless. We must pray for God's protection of the faithful in this time of intense fear and suffering.
