Christians being crucified in Iraq
Several Iraqi Christians "are nailed to a cross and their arms are tied up with ropes. The ropes are put on fire," Voordewind said.
Voordewind described how a person, who "survived" a crucifixion, "even showed holes in his hands," apparently from nails. Voordewind said victims of the crucifixions are “in most cases Christian converts who abandoned Islam or people who, religiously speaking, are involved in mixed marriages."I remember reading about a young Sudanese boy who was crucified and left to die until rescued by a compassionate passerby. We don't ever hear about this kind of thing, but I don't think it's because of anti-Christian bias in the media. I think it's because it's not about us, and all news must somehow must have to do with us. But I also think that if this sort of news did get reported, we'd have the capacity to care about it. . . .
