Their blood cries out to God who will one day cause the ten kings to turn on the mother of abominations and burn her in one hour.

"Millions were not slaughtered. I dare you to cite one source that agrees with that number."

In quibbling about details are you accepting the fact that the RC church killed many Christians?

[hummingbird]

OK. I hate to do this, because I'm enjoying this so much, but it's time to spoil the party. It's fake blood.

For real?! I hope so; its hard looking at little babies covered with blood. Is it human blood? Animal blood?

They don't really cut the kids heads, its just paint. Adults do it though. It represents the sacrifice of one of their martyrs, Mohammed's grandson who was killed.

No, the Catholic Church killed no one. Fallible men acting in the name of the Catholic Church were responsible for the deaths of some, just as fallible men acting on behalf of some "reforming spirit" killed thousands of Catholics in England and Gemrany--and killed hundreds for the simple fact that they were ordained Catholic priests.

I'm still waiting for your source on the "millions" comment... I reckon I'll wait a long time.

Okaaaay....

Don't be brainwashed.

You're obviously speaking from experience as a brainwashing victim yourself.

[Flavius Josephus]

I don't know. They were saying Red Paint yesterday, but who knows. And what does it mean, anyway, that they would gladly cut their children up for Allah? Mohammed? Ali Hussein?

[conservonator]

If it weren't for people like these and especially Jack Chick, the Jesuits would have that histpory of the Whore's shame completely expiurgated by now.

Jebbies!?!? You're about 100 years too late, better start worrying about Opus Dei MWAAHAHAHAHA.

Thanks, conserv13. Looking at the photos alone is alarming. I hope the media is doing its best to explain that these babies aren't being cut by their parents....LOL...the media....

There's a bit of a difference between "millions" and 10,000 or so, spread over several centuries. And many of those were not, in fact, Christians, though sadly some were.

Are you okay with the fact that hundreds of Catholics were executed by the state in Britain for no crime except that of practicing their faith? Or that the rest were given the choice between poverty, exile, or conversion? Are you familiar with the fact that, when the Lutheran armies sacked Rome in 1527, many of the inhabitants thought they were witnessing the end of the world? That's what I mean about reading history written by actual historians, not by fundamentalist polemicists like Dave Hunt.

Sorry for the hiccup posting!

[Killborn]

LOL. :)

"I get my ballbats second-hand from the Mariners. They're hardly used at all"

What on Earth would sea faring folk be doing with bats anyway? ;)

Islam Terroists MUST BE DEFEATED.

Exactly. People see these pictures and think ALL Muslims are doing this. They're not.

It's a radical Shiite thing.

It's warped. But all of the Iraqi Muslims I work with disdain this practice and shake their heads saying "It's crazy." They express the same bewilderment as to why anyone would cut themselves or their children like that.
