The Islamic State released a video Sunday that it says shows the beheading of Ethiopian Christians. News outlets have not "verified" the authenticity of the video but really, has one of their videos turned out not to be true? The number of Christians executed is also not given by mainstream outlets. One other has it as 30. In February I.S. executed 21 Egyptian Christians. Said I.S. (allegedly) in the video:

“a message signed with blood to the nation of the cross.”

“Despite the cross, we have returned,”
