With the statement coming from the hadith, the terrorists are justifying their actions, bringing more cringe to the table. According to an expert, ISIS is clearly sending a message to the West.

"It is important to note that ISIS is documenting its destruction and desecration of Christian sites and its attacks on Christian communities, and on other minorities' sites and communities, and is disseminating these images worldwide via social media," said the executive director of The Middle East Media, Steven Stalinsky in an exclusive with the Fox News.

He added this is one way the mock the West --- they are able to do this freely without anyone stopping them. ISIS is known for sharing their most outrageous crimes, including videos beheading their captives and photos of the devastation.
