Through a public proclamation, on February 2, the Islamic State announced that it had executed yet another Christian priest in Mosul — Paul Jacob, the parson of a church in eastern Iraqi city who was kidnapped eight months ago. His parish was also blown up. The execution reportedly took place in Ghazlani Camp in southern Mosul where a militia camp is located.
Update 1: Although various Arabic media reported this story, the Chaldean Patriarchate “strongly denies recent news stories that report a priest being executed by Islamic State militants in Mosul.”
Update 2: Despite Update 1, several Arabic social media continue not only to report this story as true, but to scold Western media and churchmen for not reporting on it. Most of these reports also post the following picture. Note that the man being beheaded does look similar to the blindfolded man being led away in the picture above, which earlier reports said was Paul Jacob when IS first abducted him eight months earlier.

There is only one “religion” which by definition is a disease spreading like a deadly plague.
MaikenZ says
Let’s never call it a religion again! Islamofascism is a much better word for the evil ideology.
John VanBrunt says
Islam ideology is and always was, and always has been preaching to kill us all, only after 911 they stooped practicing there faith from satanic selfish demonic , read there master God Mohammed teaching called the hadith? they are the aliens from independents day …where the evil aliens want us all dead. Turkey executed 8 million non Muslims not even a hundred years ago…the whole koran teaches mass murder …

its amazing that for the Charlie Hebdo deaths ( as sad and as reprehensible as they are) millions went on the streets, but for countless totally innocent people who have not raised a finger to hurt anyone’s feelings, but for ISIS and their likes are equally ‘sinful’, no ones goes into the streets to show solidarity! How can we do something about it?
Karl says
I completely agree. The only way I see in which to “try” to change the incomprehensible malaise in the general public, is to spread the word as much as possible. To put atrocities such as this on every social network that we can, Then try to get it passed from friend to friend. People seem to have a tendency to put their heads in the sand when bad things appear–yes people gathered in solidarity in France, but has anything changed?–. We see it all through history, and I’m afraid it won’t change any time soon.
scott addis says
Every time we put this on social media it gets removed or, even worse, ignored!
People are not willing to face the atrocities right in front of them 🙁
Rather go back to their cat videos…… 🙁

John VanBrunt says
Funny thing Hadith teaches them to put on the full armor of Satan lie,cheat,steal.enslave,murder,extorts,conspire to murder, seems like a few hardened felony to me”..and when can our lame ass governments protect there innocent tax payers? there sure protected Muslims rights when they changed Halloween to orange day, thank you liberal government of Ontario..and we no longer can say merry Christmas …political correct happy holidays ..
