You may not know much about these 21 Christians.

Sami Yacoub is based in Egypt as the regional director for Focus on the Family’s Middle East outreach.  He has the advantage of an on-the-ground perspective which hasn’t been widely reported by the American media.  These are some of his observations, as reported by Focus on the Family:

These young Christians were in their early to mid-20s. They went to Libya in search of work to help feed their families living under the poverty line in Egypt.

• In the days and weeks leading up to their deaths, their ISIS captors tortured them and attempted to persuade them to deny Jesus in return for living.
• They all refused to deny Christ.
• They all died on that beach singing songs to Jesus.

It is obvious that these men were victims of religious persecution.

The Islamic terrorists are motivated by hatred on anyone who will not embrace their radical religion.  As this violence and murder escalates in months to come, the world must rise up and put an end to this reign of terror.
