Kashmir: Jihadists murder two Christian teenagers for reading the Bible
The “believers are totally in fear” now, which is part of the point: the murderers understand that they have a divine command to “strike terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “Militants Kill Christian Teenagers For Reading Bible, Missionary Says,” by Stefan J.
