Son of radical imam reveals ISIS plot to murder Christians using chainsaws

ISIS reportedly has a dastardly plot to murder Christians. The radical terrorist group often kills Christians through bombings and public beheadings, but this time, they plan to eliminate the followers of Christ using chainsaws.

The plan was bared by the teenage son of a radical imam, according to The Mirror. The teenager, who cannot be named, informed the police of the plot after he was arrested for walking down a street in Verviers, Belgium and calling in Arabic for the murder of Christians.

He is the son of radical imam Shayh Alami, also from Verviers, which is described by Belgian media as "one of the most important breeding grounds for Islamists in Belgium."

The teenager was caught in the short video walking in the streets of Verviers, all the while cursing Christians and calling for their deaths. After he was arrested, he revealed that the terror group is already busy recruiting people to conduct a mass attack on a shopping centre using chainsaws.

Alarmed by the news, Belgian Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Theo Francken moved to deport the imam tagged in the alleged terror plot together with his son.

"I already signed the order to remove the Imam from Belgian soil. But he appealed the decision, so I can only hope for a quick sentence," he said. "Clearly radicalism runs in the family."

Meanwhile, Chuck Chadwick of the National Organisation of Church Security & Safety Management told One News Now that U.S. and U.K. churches must be ready for lone wolf attacks that may be carried out in the name of ISIS.

"What we over here can expect is the lone wolf attack," he said, "[and] it looks like bombing is becoming popular again."

Chadwick suggested that armed security should always be around churches in order to prepare for these attacks. "Having a person who is armed and can respond in deadly force may be an option. If it does happen, we're prepared; if it doesn't happen, all glory to God," he added.
