Yemeni Christian Woman Burned Alive For Her Faith

John 16:2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

A woman died two weeks after suffering burns all over her body in an act of sabotage by Islamists in her village.

A woman named Nazeera went into her kitchen to cook breakfast when the room suddenly burst into flames.  Her four children watched as she burned alive on the floor of their home until her husband Saeed was able to put out the flames and rush her to a hospital.

Nazeera suffered third degree burns all over her body.  Doctors provided treatment to minimize her pain but she suffered for two weeks before she died.

When Saeed returned home from his wife’s bedside, a relative told him his wife’s death was no accident.

The family’s Muslim neighbors, who were furious the family has accepted Christs a few years ago, had been looking for a way to kill the family in a way that appeared to be an accident.  The neighbors bragged to the Islamic relative of the family that they replaced the family’s cooking oil with a form of gasoline so it would explode when she tried to cook.

Saeed and his children are now in another country under new names.  They had obtained papers to leave the country two days before the explosion.
