Mosul (Agenzia Fides) - The jihadist militiamen of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), who since June 9 control Mosul and have proclaimed the Islamic Caliphate, have ordered civil servants to suspend any provision of food aid and gas cylinders to the Shiites, the Kurds and the few remaining Christians in Iraq's second city.
This is confirmed to Fides Agency by Christian sources in Mosul, after the news had been launched by the Arab website www.ankawa.com. According to what was reported by the local official Fadel Younis, representatives of the Islamic Caliphate have announced that any infringement of the prohibition will be punished on the basis of rules attributed to the Sharia.
In the city of northern Iraq - confirm sources of the Chaldean Patriarchate to Fides - even houses abandoned by the baptized are "marked" with the first letter of the Arabic word Nazarat (Christian).

Look for the last remaining Christians to leave.
Is obozo still thinking about whether or not we can blast these people to smithereens? They have been out in the open and could very well have been taken out.
They are on the payroll.
So what is John Kerry doing about it? Don’t answer, I already know.
We do not have a dog in this fight, at least yet. Borders that were drawn up arbitrarily by the French and English after World War I are not sacred, and there’s a lot to be said for the notion of stable, religio-ethnic super-majority states. We do not need to force Kurds, Turks, Sunni Arabs, Shiite Arabs, and ethnic Persians to live with each other under common government.
The problem of the Christian minority is a difficult one. For hundreds of years the local Muslim majorities throughout the region accommodated their Christian and Jewish minorities but the formation of Israel and the rise of modern Sunni extremism and mullah rule of Iran broke that paradigm. However, a carrier battle group siccing some F1-18s and cruise missiles on ISIS isn’t going to do anything.
“Look for the last remaining Christians to leave.”
Ask the Kurds to also leave, then nuke Mosul.

why don’t we trade the Somalis for the Christian Arabs?
Will that be in the newspapers and on the news?
These people are inhuman monsters, but don’t expect Obama or the liberals to do anything, except maybe send a upbraiding tweet.
The enemy are Sunnis, not Shias
