During his testimony before the commission, he said although Christianity has been present in Iraq from the "foundation" of the faith – ever since Thomas stopped off in Nineveh and converted the people of the city to Christianity – none of its historic tribulations compares to the troubles today.

What will it take to stop Islam from totally taking over the Middle East?

Need to protect our own. Ridiculous that American soldiers occupy the country and they are safe killing Christians.

I’m afraid Bush and buddies really messed up when they allowed the Iraqi government to be established on Islamic law. It seemed like a mistake at the time. Now, we’ll see it was a blunder of Biblical proportion.

We won the military victory. It was up to us to make the terms for the new government. Just imagine if after WWII, we said to the Germans, “OK, set up your new government. Sure, base it on the teachings of Adolf Hitler.”

I fear that trouble for Christians in Iraq has just begun, and might eventually result in them going into exile to avoid being killed.
