                      ISIS MURDERS CHRISTIAN GIRL

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, last week, ISIS terrorists came to the 
house of a Christian family in Iraq to collect the religious tax 
imposed on all non-Muslims.

[[Page H2946]]

  ISIS told the mother of the home: You have two choices. You are to 
leave now or you are to pay the tax.
  The mother pled: I will pay, but give me a few seconds because my 
daughter is in the shower.
  But the ISIS terrorists did not wait. Instead, they set fire to the 
house. The mother, clutching a small child, escaped. But the girl was 
trapped in the burning home. Later, she was found. She had such severe 
burns, she died in her mother's arms. The last thing she said to her 
mother was: Forgive them.
  The girl is a better person than most of us.
  From beheading to burning little Christian girls alive, ISIS' evil 
genocide knows no bounds. ISIS murders in the name of religious jihad.
  Will we allow this evil to continue? Or shall all religions unite and 
hold ISIS accountable?
  We must stop ISIS' malicious murder of the innocent. Justice demands 
it. And, Mr. Speaker, justice is what we are supposed to do.
  And that is just the way it is.
