Amish extremists, no doubt.

What a shame. Another martyr for the Christian faith. And so many of us remain under the false impression that the age of the Christian martyrs is ancient history.

"A Chaldean Catholic archbishop kidnapped last month in northern Iraq has been found dead, the information service of the Italian Catholic Church said Thursday."

I demand that Islamic leaders publicly, loudly and REPEATEDLY denounce, renounce and CONDEMN the crimes of the Islamist Crusaders. If caught, the sons of pigs should be publicly executed.

Instead, we'll be treated to another whining "Muslims scared" campaign.

The “Religion of Peace” is not likely to satisfy, but I agree with you. Does anyone have a really sensitive decibel meter for measuring the sound of the Iraqi Muslim Moderate community on this?

The religion of peace. Notice how the article criticized the Chaldean Christians saying that they were well off and associated with the Crusades, as if it were their fault they were kidnapped and murdered. Also the article failed to mention that they were tortured before they were killed and that there has been continual violence against the Chaldean Catholics in Iraq, the Coptic Catholics in Egypt and Christians in Africa such as in Nigeria and Darfur.

It sounds as though he was also badly wounded in the shootout, and died soon after. Since he was no longer any use to them for propaganda purposes, they buried him, hoping no one would find him.

Christianity taught them how to prosper and by both Muslim and Secularist Humanist logic, that's a great sin--doing well.

Urban II had it right.

"Iraqi forces in Mosul had fanned out to search for Rahho..."

The take all innocent deaths caused by terrorists quite seriously. They hate the terrorists as much as we do.

My his soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.

Sad news. May his flock be comforted and their faith strengthened. The thugs and terrorists who kidnapped Paulos Faraj Rahho can kill the man, but they cannot kill the message of love and promise that he brought to his church.

If ever there was a religion based on Sadism it appears ISLAM would fit the bill.

See my tag line.

Sad news....prayers for a faithful servant.

Sounds like the search was a tad late. Most of the soldiers I know who come back from Iraq express massive hatred for Islam. The only hope for an Iraq that really hates terrorism is an Iraq that hates Islam.

[Pinkbell]

Yet the liberals will continue to say that Islam is a “religion of peace”, and Christianity is a religion of hatred and intolerance.

Servant of God Paulos Rahho, pray for us.
