Islamic extremists target women in Iraq

Mosul, Oct. 22 (AsiaNews) - Islamic fundamentalist groups in the Iraqi city of Mosul have threatened violence against Christians, and particularly Christian women, the AsiaNews service reports.

A flyer circulating in Mosul at the beginning of Ramadan threatened "death to all Iraqi women who did not cover their heads," and two young women had acid sprayed in their faces in a city marketplace. A similar flyer suggested that Christians would "suffer violence and persecution in their homes and their churches." The campaign of intimidation is having its effect; AsiaNews reports that some Christian students have stopped attending university classes, and the Christian community in Mosul-- about 3 percent of the city's population-- is braced for further attacks.

Michael Moore's "freedom fighters" sure aren't doing too well if they are down to attacking women and children.

No doubt these women, if they survive their wounds, will be raped then stoned to death by the Mu-slime thugs who did this as punishment for having the audacity to leave home without wrapping themselves in black garbage bags. To believe in Islam is to worship Satan.
