Sad Day. (It's difficult being a Christian in Islamic Iraq)
Eastern Liberty ^ | Saturday, September 25, 2010 | Freedom

Most of those who came to console us having some special one who passed away by terrorist or illness like cancer which became very common here just like flu; most them having their own story to tell, I was thinking if we were going to write a book about Christians in Iraq after 2003 we will never complete it or reach the end, because of how much stories we have from those families, like a story of a family lost her only son in 2005 by terrorist, they wanted to kidnap him while he was driving his car in substreet but he resisted them, he pulled their mask, they killed him right away, by lunging him a knife through his body & cut off his head!!! (he was civil engineer got master degree & engaged to get marry), his mother was barely can walk just to share others sadness or calamity, many like her do that to relieve their selves & feelings.

This is just one story of thousands of Christian's families stories in Iraq, we don't hate the other, we don't hurt the other, we don't say bad things to other, we are as always PEACE MAKER as Jesus taught us to be, we accept the other, we don't cross our lines, we don't curse in our prayers, we love all people in whole the world even the bad people, we pray for all, we forgive to those how hurt us we don't get revenge by sword, we don't kill by religion name, we don't satisfy one's thirst for revenge.

We believed in humanity for everyone, to anyone in this world (women, men, child, old people, good/bad, any ethnic, any belief) has their own rights to pray, to practice their religion in their own way without fears...

(It’s difficult being a Christian in Islamic Iraq)

After I open a Christian Church in Iraq, I’m going to find a group of cannibals on an island somewhere and take up bathing in gravy!

Peter had a sword.

Jesus` disciples had 3 swords.

The Knights Templars protected Christian pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land with their weapons.

The priests in 1930`s Mexico carried pistols to prevent assassination by ant-Catholic factions.

The Pope has Israeli-trained Swiss Guards with Uzzi`s.

The Pope is not a fool.

His Pope-Mobile is armored with bullet-proof glass.

Do as they do, not as they say.

They lead by example.

It's difficult to be Christians almost ANYWHERE where islam is practiced. If we're not careful, so it will be here. And any Jews here better start limbering up — especially those 70+% who voted for Obozo — so they can bend over and kiss their butts goodbye when the time comes.

My late Lebanese Christian brother-in-law’s grandfather moved the entire family to the Caribbean from the Beruit area many, many years ago when the muslim persecution of Christians there became intolerable and the growing violence between the muslims and Christians threatened to spill into the family.

But, as we all know now, islam is the “religion of peace.”

What most folks fail to understand is that there are several definitions of “peace.”
One is the absence of war or conflict. The other is absence of RESISTANCE TO MY IDEOLOGY, THEOLOGY OR WAY OF DOING THINGS – the “peace” of the grave.

The muslims – just like Obama — have thoroughly embraced the latter definition.
