· Christian
woman delayed paying religious tax to ISIS in Mosul
· ISIS
punished her by setting the home on fire with daughter inside
· Her
daughter, 12, suffered severe burns and later died in hospital
A 12-year-old Christian girl burned to death in her own home by ISIS terrorists in Mosul, northern Iraq, used her last words to urge her family to forgive her murderers.
The girl's mother revealed her daughter's dying
wish as she spoke of ISIS's brutal reign of terror in the Iraqi city and the
oppression suffered by Christians in the area.
Jihadi fighters had come to claim a religious tax
from the girl's mother, paid by all non-Muslims in ISIS-controlled areas, but
when the mother delayed in paying, they burned down the family home.
The mother described how 'foreign ISIS fighters'
had come to their home in Mosul to claim Jaziya, a religious tax imposed on
non-Muslims.
'The ISIS foreign fighters were at her door and
they told her "you have two choices, you are to leave now or you are to
pay the Jaziya",' Jacqueline Isaac, a human rights advocate, told the Express,.
'She said "I will pay, give me a few seconds
my daughter is in the shower". They said 'you don't have a few
seconds" and they lit the house with a torch.'
Mother and child were able to escape the burning
building, but the girl had suffered such severe burns that she later died in
hospital.
Ms Isaac added: 'Her daughter died in her arms. The
last thing her daughter said: "Forgive them".'
The brutal murder of the young Christian girl is one of several horrific ISIS executions carried out in Mosul, as the terrorist group continues to lose territory in Iraq.
The brutal murder of the young Christian girl is one of several horrific ISIS executions carried out in Mosul, as the terrorist group continues to lose territory in Iraq.
Earlier on Thursday, local news reported that ISIS
has executed 25 people in Mosul by lowering them in a vat of nitric
acid until their organs dissolved.
The more than two dozen men had been accused of
spying on ISIS on behalf of Iraqi government security forces.
The executions in Mosul follows a number of deadly
bombings in the capital Baghdad, as ISIS hopes to rebound from their
battlefield losses in Iraq.
The terrorist group has continued losing control
over territory across Iraq and Syria, a U.S. Military spokesman said this week,
including almost half of what it had once held in Iraq.
