226 Christians were horribly captured by ISIS in February 2015. A story like this would normally have a horrifying end, but thanks to the work of Christians around the world, they were able to buy them all out of slavery.
The price was daunting. The terrorists demands of $50,000 a person that was very high. This would mean more than $11 million for the entire group.
“There’s no easy way to give them money. It’s very dangerous, it’s also illegal in many countries,” Saadi said. “And the money they were asking for, no one could afford that kind of money.”
One must not forget the fact that purchasing slaves from slavery is enough. Ultimately, the slavery must be physically stopped, and usually through military means. That was what happened in 1805 when US Marines landed in North Africa and forced the Beg of Tripoli to sign a peace treaty with the US.
However, for most of us who cannot militarily invade the Muslim world right now, this is a very effective thing that can be done. Just as those who were made free thanks to your help.

I have seen this website before. Shoebat is a con man. However, I haven't sourced the article on the site. It could be true.

We are talking about ISIS here, not Islam as a whole. Your sarcasm is tiring and juvenile.

Your not saying that all the people that Muslims are all bad, right?
I'm a logical person, and I can see the fact that there is some really bad people out in the fringes that are hell bet for leather to do as much damage as they can. It is a shame. But not all Muslims are kidnapping and doing the ISIS thing.
What does the first "I" stand for in ISIS?
