Mob beheads nun in Bagdad

So these "men" came storming in and slaughtered this innocent woman? She's a 70 year old nun for crying out loud! They aren't men. They are insects. On their own they are weak and can be crushed easily, but in groups they wreak havoc and attack those unsuspecting and innocent and who can't fight back. They are lower than insects. They're the lowest form of matter on this planet.

Nicely put into focus. Brutally beheading an old woman, who could be no threat to anyone is not the act of a human being. Homo Sapiens perhaps, merely by an accident of biology, but not human. In this regard I tend to agree with Frank Herbert's vision that perhaps "humanity" is something that must ultimately be established, not taken for granted. These are merely parasites. Vermin.

With apologies to sympathizers like Aliska... the sad fact is that there will only be peace when these vermin are gone from the face of the Earth. And please all: note that this is not hate. We need hate no one, but we can hate ideas, we can hate acts, and we can hate evil. We must and we do. Watch us.

CNA blamed "Muslim terrorists" for this murder of Sister Cecilia Hanna, 70. According to this wire service of Iraq's Christian exiles, she "was knifed down savagely and her head was severed from the rest of her body by a group of thugs while she was staying in the Chaldean monastery located in Palestine Street in Baghdad."

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

I am Catholic too, and no one can blame me for not speaking out against islam!

Fascinating.
Learn something every day.

I find that Protestants at FR are quite aware that Islam exists to wipe out Christianity, yet Catholic Freepers more or less ignore this fact, because it's an ugly one.

I do hope that you are making a distinction between the official Vatican position and Catholics like me.
I have been ouspoken since Sept. of 2001.
It really only requires casual knowledge of history from the 7th to the 16th centuries.

Islam's motto: "First we kill the Saturday people (the Jews), then we kill the Sunday people (the Christians)."

I thought it was the Unitarians trying to wipe out Christianity... ;o)

DEUS LO VOLT!

This is quite simple, really.

Jesus is God, eternally begotten of the Father. (You yourself admit this)

Jesus is also a human.

Jesus was ONE person possessing two natures- one completely human, one completely divine. Mary was his mother upon earth. To say that Mary is simply the Mother of Jesus the human is to divide Jesus into two seperate people, in a sort of loose unity. That is what the Nestorian heresy did, and it is what you do by implication by denying Mary the title "Mother of God". The title is meant not to grant Mary an honor, but rather to defend the doctrine that Jesus Christ is one person with two natures. It defends the notion that the person Mary gave birth to really was God, not just a human.

The doctrine that considers Mary the Mother of God does not refer at all to Mary being the CREATOR of Jesus. No Catholic teaches that Mary existed prior to Jesus. Rather, we bear witness to the fact that the one that Mary bore within her womb and gave birth to was in fact God. The doctrine is saying more about Christ than about Mary, really.

Also remember that it would be improper to speak of Mary as simply "the mother of Christ's human nature". No mother is the mother of a "nature"- mothers are mothers of PEOPLE- of persons.

Like you, I remember 11 years ago. I have posted it before, but the American Spectator ran an article about the boys school in Kuwait where the Iraqis castrated all the students. At that time (before Waco), I didn't recognize propaganda and got really fired up.

[RightWinger]

All the more reason to invade Iraq.

[ChadGore]

A 70 year old nun ? I mean, c'mon !

[OldFriend]

Ah yes, our esteemed State Department, perceiving only evil in America while our enemies are invisible.

[MadIvan]

This is merely an observation. As a non-Christian, I find that Protestants at FR are quite aware that Islam exists to wipe out Christianity, yet Catholic Freepers more or less ignore this fact, because it's an ugly one.

I am Catholic, and my feelings about Islam cannot be discussed in polite company. Let's just say it involves turning Mecca into a radioactive slag heap.

[MadIvan]

Horrifying. Well, if we needed a reason to make Iraq bleed, here is as good a one as any.

[ChadGore]

Every time support Iraq has a chance, he does something dumb.

May God bless and keep her close to Him.

A true Christian martyr!

Yeah - I know I'm generalizing - I don't need to be reminded.

This eclipses mere generalization and enters the realm of nonsense.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Islam exists to wipe out ALL that is not Islam.
