IS beheads four Christian children for refusing to convert to Islam

Islamic State militants have beheaded four Christian children in Iraq after they refused to convert to Islam, reveals the British vicar of Baghdad.

The clergyman Rev Canon Andrew White has escaped to Israel after the extremists put a price on his head but still in contact with his flock in Iraq, the Daily Star reported.

He told how the kid refused to say they would follow the prophet Muhammad and told the knife-wielding fighters they would always follow Jesus.

IS militants had asked the children to say the words that they would follow Muhammad and chopped the heads of four of them when they refused to do so, said White.

White also said that it was not possible for Christians to live in Iraq and that he had received threats from the militant group.
