Iraqis don’t have a clue as to how big the Christian tourism business could be for them. Very serious dollars, but they have to stop killing Christians to take advantage of the potential revenues.

Our ancestors learned many centuries ago that there are three alternatives when dealing with Islam:
1. Submit
2. Flee
3. Fight
Nothing has changed.

If any of you guys are having a bad day, think for a moment what it's like to be a Christian in a country where Islamic radicals roam loose.
Your day should get better in a hurry.

There are hundreds of thousands of Christians in Iraq even the islamic fascists would have a hard time finding and destroying them.
There are hundreds of thousands of Spirit filled Bible believing Christians in Iraq who know the importance of standing firm and fighting the good fight.

I noticed as I surfed the news stories yesterday that statements were pouring out of the Muslim World saying the Archbishop’s death had nothing to do with Islam. (Of course not! /s) It is just more of their propaganda campaign to insist that violence has nothing to do with Islam. (A total fallacy if you read the Qur’an).
I got sidetracked at your link by Samir’s article on Pope Benedict’s response to the 138. It was excellent.

Fears are growing that the community might cease to exist. Iraqi police blame al-Qaeda for the murder. Islamist terrorists plan to run Christians out of the country. Sounds like the Chaldeans better start packing AK's.
