Disturbing images which have appeared online could be of three Assyrian Christian women ISIS abducted in February.
In three 'leaked' images shared on social media, the women hold pieces of paper on which their names and a date - July 27, 2015 - are written.

It is feared this means they will be sold to ISIS fighters if their families or charities do not pay ransom for their release, although no figure appears on the signs they hold.

On Tuesday, ISIS released 22 of more than 220 Christians they snatched from several Assyrian farming communities it raided in Iraq's north-eastern Hassakeh province, Syria, earlier this year.

The Assyrian Federation of Sweden has told MailOnline the women's surnames resemble those of families who lived in the region, although they cannot completely verify they are Christians.

It also said the theory of them being ransomed off to fund ISIS is plausible but, once again, difficult to confirm.

The second, who is alone, is called Hannaa Assaf Youssef. The third woman is surrounded by what appears to be her own three children but the writing on the sign could not be made out accurately.
'The names resemble the family names of people in a nearby village - Tel Jazire - so it is possible that these women could be from Assyrian villages but we cannot confirm that,' a source at the Assyrian Federation of Sweden said.
MailOnline's source, who is herself from the Assyrian village of Tel Shamiram, added: 'These names are names you find in Assyrian villages.'
Regarding the women being ransomed, the Federation said: 'It is a theory and it makes sense but we can not 100 per cent say that this will happen.'
Their images have emerged at the same time as a suspected ISIS video, thought to be filmed on July 17, which features eight kidnapped Assyrian men. Each one reads out his name and the village they were from.

You will never see any Arab muslim group starting a similar campaign like the BBOG over these Christians who where abducted by their lunatic brethren. Why? Because almost all Arab Muslim scum support what ISIS is doing to non muslims.

[size=18pt]ISIS Leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi Sexually Abused American Hostage Kayla Mueller, Officials Say[/size]

Before her death earlier this year, American hostage Kayla Mueller was repeatedly raped by the top leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, according to counter-terrorism officials.

Mueller's family confirmed to ABC News that government officials have told them that their daughter, who would have turned 27 today, was the victim of repeated sexual assaults by al-Baghdadi.

"We were told Kayla was tortured, that she was the property of al-Baghdadi. We were told that in June by the government," Kayla's parents, Carl and Marsha Mueller, told ABC News today.



The top terror leader later regularly visited the compound to meet with Sayyaf and to repeatedly sexually assault Mueller, officials said.

In early February ISIS claimed Mueller had been killed in a coalition bombardment in Syria. Three months later, on May 16, the U.S. Army's elite hostage-rescue and counter-terrorism unit known as Delta Force conducted a ground raid to capture Abu Sayyaf but was forced to kill him instead when he raised a weapon, officials said.

The new revelations about Mueller's long ordeal -- which involved torture since the beginning of her one-and-a-half years of captivity, her family has been told by the FBI -- shatter rumors spread by some officials that she had cooperated or was a willing spouse, which has deeply upset her family and many inside her case.

Some speculation was based on a smuggled letter released by her family in which the captive Mueller wrote, about a year into her captivity, that she was "completely unharmed + healthy (put on weight in fact); I have been treated w/ the utmost respect + kindness."

The information about al-Baghdadi's extraordinary direct role in the captivity and physical abuse of Kayla Mueller was drawn from, among many sources, the U.S. debriefings of at least least two Yezedi teenage girls, ages 16 and 18, held as sex slaves in the Sayyaf compound as well as from the interrogation of Abu Sayyaf's wife Umm Sayyaf, who was captured in the U.S. raid, the officials told ABC News.

Officials stressed that all of what transpired with many girls kept as sex slaves inside the Sayyaf household hasn't been reconstructed completely and is still is in the process of being verified, though al-Baghdadi's role in abusing Mueller is certain.

At least two Yezedi teens had escaped last year and another girl was rescued by the American ground assault force in Syria in May, which the White House announced at the time.

Last fall, the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command in Irbil, Iraq, located one girl, who had escaped Sayyaf’s clutches, and learned the whereabouts of the last American known to be in ISIS hands, officials said. American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, along with aid worker Peter "Abdul-Rahman" Kassig and two British aid workers, had been brutally beheaded in ISIS execution videos by then.

By January, U.S. special operations senior commanders were aggressively attempting to find and track Sayyaf, a "top tier leader" responsible for funding the ISIS war machine, in order to plan a possible rescue of Mueller and to bring her intelligence-rich captor to justice in a U.S. courtroom, several officials said.

After enforcing a media blackout on names of hostages demanded by ISIS in private emails to their families for months, White House Chief of Staff Dennis McDonough inadvertently blurted out Mueller's first name on ABC News’ "This Week" on January 25 as he explained efforts to find her: "Kayla's family knows how strongly the president feels about this and we will continue to work this,” he said then.

Asked about Mueller on NBC on Feb. 1, President Obama said, "Well, what we can say is that, as has been true of all the hostages, that we are deploying all the assets that we can working with all the coalition allies that we can to identify her location. And we are in very close contact with the family trying to keep them updated."

But days later, Mueller was dead. ISIS claimed in a public statement that she had been killed in an airstrike by Jordanian aircraft on a building in Syria. Though U.S. officials somehow quickly confirmed her death, they have since disputed ISIS's claim of how she perished. How Kayla Mueller actually died isn't known, officials told ABC News.

From that point forward, the military's Joint Special Operations Command zeroed in on Abu Sayyaf. They tracked him to a location in Syria by early March and awaited optimal conditions to launch a rare ground raid. A Delta Force ground assault team on May 16 swiftly overwhelmed Sayyaf's guards -- some of whom, realizing the compound was under attack, attempted unsuccessfully to hide from the U.S. operators, an official said.

It was initially suspected by U.S. officials that Mueller had been forced into a "marriage" to Sayyaf. But after Delta Force killed him, newer intelligence pointed firmly to al-Baghdadi as Mueller's primary victimizer. The Yezedi teens -- and others -- provided the U.S. with a wealth of information used to interrogate Umm Sayyaf, who "spilled everything," including details about various ISIS leaders' "locations and patterns of life," a counter-terrorism official told ABC News.

Eventually the girls who had survived captivity with the Sayyafs were allowed to leave the protection of the U.S. military in Irbil and return to normal civilian lives, though occasionally shadowed by special operators worried for their safety in public places.

Last week, the U.S. announced that Umm Sayyaf was handed over to Kurdish authorities in Irbil, who are known for lightning-swift justice. Some U.S. prosecutors had hoped to try her in federal court in Manhattan.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has been supportive of the Mueller family, wrote to Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Thursday demanding to know why Umm Sayyaf was given to Kurdish authorities rather than brought to the U.S. for trial.

As her family marked Mueller’s 27th birthday, they pointed to a video made in tribute in which their daughter said she had learned that, "Everything happens for a reason, and that nothing should be a regret, and that you're always learning about yourself through other people."

[size=18pt]CHRISTIANS USED AS ‘FORM OF CURRENCY’ BY ISIS AS MASS KIDNAPPINGS CONTINUE[/size]

Christians in the Middle East still live in fear as the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) remains unchallenged in Iraq and Syria. Christian organizations are attempting to help Christians, but for many, it is too late.

“Christians have become a form [of] currency in this tragedy,” explained John Newton, spokesman for Aid to the Church in Need, to the Christian Post. “I know of one priest who was kidnapped for two months… they asked for a ransom of $120,000, which the family managed to raise and deliver… But hours later, the priest was killed and his body cut up, with pieces of him sent in a box to the family.”

Newton said it is hard for his charity and the others to keep track of the kidnapped priests. Militants kidnapped archbishops throughout 2013 as they tried to rescue two other kidnapped priests.

“No one knows who took the archbishops, nor what their fate was, but the two priests they were trying to free have since been executed,” said Newton.

ISIS kidnapped at least eight clergymen in the past year. They captured Father Tony Boutros in July. Militants kidnapped Father Jacques Mourad at the Mar Elyan Monastery, 62 miles from Palmyra, in May.

In July, Pope Francis pleaded with ISIS to release Father Paolo Dall’Oglio. Militants kidnapped him in Syria on July 29, 2013.

“In a few days, we will mark the second anniversary since, in Syria, Father Paolo Dall’Oglio was kidnapped,” the pope said. “I make a heartfelt and urgent appeal for the freedom of this esteemed religious man.”

Father Douglas Bazi described his experience to the BBC for their “Kill the Christians” documentary. Terrorists “struck his back, broke one of his legs, shot him, punched his teeth out, and deprived him of water for four days until a ransom was paid.” However, it did not keep him down, and he remained in Iraq. He opened the Mar Elias Centre in north Iraq where he now “cares for around 135 Christian families.”

“We are Christian, so we are used to having our luggage always prepared. We always have to run away, escape from place to place,” he said.

Mosul, Iraq, housed one of the largest Christian communities in the world. But due to ISIS, Iraq’s second largest city is without Christians for the first time in 2,000 years. ISIS told Christians to convert to Islam, pay a protection tax, or die. Witnesses described how the terrorists slaughtered the males in front of everyone while they kidnapped the females for sex slavery. Andrew White, the vicar of the only Anglican Church in Iraq, told BBC Radio 4 that Christianity is coming to an end in the Middle Eastern country.

“Things are so desperate, our people are disappearing,” he said, adding:

We have had people massacred, their heads chopped off. The Christians are in grave danger. There are literally Christians living in the desert and on the street. They have nowhere to go. Are we seeing the end of Christianity? We are committed come what may, we will keep going to the end, but it looks as though the end could be very near.

White hopes the United Kingdom does not forget about the Christians in Iraq.

“We do not want Britain to forget us. We – and I’m saying ‘we’ talking like an Iraqi Christian – have always been with the British because they have already been with us,” he said. “Individual churches, individual Christians in Britain, have been a bigger help than anybody around the world.”

There were a million Christians in Iraq prior to 2003, but there are now fewer than 500,000. It is unknown if they can ever return. After forcing out the Christians, ISIS blew up Jonah’s tomb and imposed Sharia law in Mosul. The women must now wear full-face veils, perfume is forbidden, and the shops must place veils on all mannequins. According to the U.N., ISIS even ordered female genital mutilation, but ISIS denies the allegation.

Religion: Mankind's redemption, and ultimately mankind's downfall.

[size=18pt]Sex slavery adopted and codified by Islamic State[/size]

In the moments before he raped the 12-year-old girl, the Islamic State fighter took the time to explain that what he was about to do was not a sin. Because the pre-teen girl practised a religion other than Islam, the Koran not only gave him the right to rape her – it condoned and encouraged it, he insisted.

He bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her. When it was over, he knelt to pray again, bookending the rape with acts of religious devotion. “I kept telling him it hurts – please stop,” said the girl, whose body is so small an adult could circle her waist with two hands.

[size=18pt]“He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God,[/size]” she said in an interview alongside her family in a refugee camp in Qadiya, Iraq, to which she escaped after 11 months of captivity.

Am sure my Muslim brothers and sisters will avoid this thread like plague.
