This is straight-up religious cleansing. The prejudice these terrorists have against Christians astounds me. We're seeing at least the beginnings of what we may later know as the Holocaust of Christians in the Middle East.

They destroyed or converted to Mosques, 7 churches of Syriac Orthodox
Church(My Church). We have been in Mosul area, even before Muhammad existed. We are being wiped out by Muslims.
Feeling nothing but Burning Anger

Yeah. The US doesn't care about anyone's freedoms in the Middle East. I'm ashamed to say that my own government has more than likely contributed arms and money to these animals as part of their handouts to the Syrian rebels. We fund the terrorists, not stop them. And the only place I ever hear anything about this ongoing tragedy is in church, when we pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in the Middle East. Our people are silent and most likely ignorant on this, and it shames me greatly.

Well...that's why I am absolutely against that any Christian denomination build Churches and constitute dioceses in Islamic territories.
But if they want to become martyrs, let them become martyrs

It's a suicide. But if they want to become martyrs, let them become martyrs

Wrong. We were there even before Muhammad existed. We can stop this suicide, if Christians decide to fight back. Form, Christian Militias like that existed in Lebanese Civil War with support from Western Christians.
Western Christians should be made aware of this Crimes Against Humanity.
Western and Liberal Christians should not only worry about Gay Marriage Rights.
They should also be concerned about their brothers and sisters in Middle East who are being persecuted way, way more horrifyingly than Gays in Deep South.

Well...any nation has the right to live however they want. A nation is free to establish a regime of intolerance and hatred toward the other religions.
If they think it's a good thing, let them do that. Good for them.

Neither Europe nor US have the right to interfere with their matters. They can change things by themselves, if they want to. They certainly don't need us. And Christians are not welcome there.

Obviously I am speaking of countries like Saudi Arabia...I know that there are countries that have a good relationship with Christians and other religions

ISIS is a remarkable fabricated organization, it is part of a ME plan that is beyond the capability of a few lunatics. They are away from any understanding of islam and whoever planned ISIS is trying to hit two birds with one stone. a more troubled ME that cant concentrate much and a world hating islam.

Do you think it's all honky-dory for people to commit outright genocide and religious cleansing, just because it seems good to them? Does a group of terrorists have the right to violate the freedoms and human rights of these people and occupy vast swaths of territory of sovereign nations?

Unfortunately, it doesn't deal only with a group of terrorists.
In Saudi Arabia, the Law forbids Christians to profess their religion publicly, so Christianity is forbidden.
and I am talking about the state law

US Administration under Obama doesnt care about Persecution of Christians.
We almost went to war with Serbia to protect Kosovan Muslims in 1999. Kosovo War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This administration cares more about not offending Islamic World, than protecting Christians.

Sorry, but that's quite an assumption. Obama, correctly or incorrectly, has shown a reluctance to get involved directly in Syria on any significant scale, including the sending of our troops. Since Obama and his family are Christians, I doubt very much what you say in the OP is true.

I just want to add that there will always be groups of terrorists in Islamic countries like Syria, Iraq, etc.
I know that the moderate Muslims are loving and tolerant toward Christians. But they can't help it if there are terrorist groups in their countries.

But we cannot risk...a diocese has the right to live in peace, without being afraid of being attacked from one moment to the next

ISIS is most probably a wholesale creation of Western intelligence, much like we basically created Al-Qaeda. These Jihadist groups are Western funded and created to destabilize countries. They're lackeys. That's why the West isn't going to do anything to stop them. We arm them, train them and fund them along with the Saudis. In the Middle East, I think they're bulwarks to keep the Arab people from achieving self-determination.

i am sure you are feeling anger. that is the reason there is ISIS in the first. many christians are in the mood of punching a few muslims definitely and they would even be glad if israel did it on their behalf.
on the other hand, we have lots of immigrants running away from war in syria and coming to our countries as nearby countries and we are trying to take care of them(over one million refugee) as the world is only getting angry as they do when they watch an action movie.

Well...we Christians are taught to love everyone...and I can assure you that no Christian (and I underline no Christian) would ever hurt a Muslim.
We love Muslims and we let them build their mosques in our countries. We let them preach Islam. And we would never hurt them

Have you ever heard of a Christian hurting a Muslim ? I haven't

I'm puzzled why anyone would find these acts of aggression astounding.
