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.
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. 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.
Crusade!
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.
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.
I know little about this so somebody help me out. It sounds like from the story that these Christians were living fairly safely and peacefully in Iraq until 2003 (heck, I didn’t even know there were as many as 800,000 Christians in Iraq). But since 2003, it’s been open season on them. Is that really right and if so, why?
Let the next Crusade begin.
btt
I’m so sorry to hear this. Prayers for him, his family and all who loved him.
A great tragedy but the blood of faithful Christians is beautiful in the sight of the Lord. As in every past generation, it will be the fertilizer which causes a wonderful flowering of the Christian religion.
So sad to hear this. May his soul and the souls of the three others murdered rest in peace.
