The sick jihadis killed children, the eldest was just four years old, in an industrial dough kneader in the Syrian town of Duma. In a chilling testimony, one Syrian woman spoke of “Christians being killed and tortured, and of children being beheaded in front of their parents.” Speaking to Dr Yvette Isaac, from advocacy charity Roads to Success, Alice Assaf said: “Our neighbour came in and said: ‘Umm Issa, they have taken many girls about 300 girls. They were taken to Duma. Many of them were Christians and few were Alawites.

Then there were 250 children. They were put in the dough mixer, they were kneaded Alice Assaf

“At the bakery, there were six young people who were working there. We knew them. They were burned in the oven, six well-framed men. “Then there were 250 children. They were put in the dough mixer, they were kneaded. The oldest one of them was four-years-old.” As well as dealing with ISIS, Duma has been the site of bloodshed and violence as the city has found itself at the heart of the Syrian civil war.

The brutal killings were highlighted by Congleton MP Fiona Bruce before Parliament. Recounting Dr Isaac’s testimony, Mrs Bruce said: “She showed us recent film footage of herself talking with mothers–more than one– who had seen their own children crucified. “She told us of a mother with a two-month-old baby. When Daesh knocked at the front door of her house and ordered the entire family out, she pleaded with them to let her collect her child from another room.

"They told her, ‘No. Go. It is ours now.’” The horrific killings comes as ISIS continues to wipe out Christians in the Middle East, targeting believers in Iraq and Syria. The report, by charity Open Doors UK, found Christians in the region have been taken hostage, church leaders assassinated, homes and businesses destroyed and women and girls raped and forced into sexual slavery.

ISIS terrorists took the Christian town of al-Qaryatain, Syria in August 2015, trapping the town’s 300 Christians and murdering 20 who tried to escape. Christians returning to the town, which has been liberated by rebel forces, have found their homes and businesses reduced to rubble and landmines left by ISIS littering the town. Before 2011, Syrian Christians numbered about eight per cent of the population of 22million.
