The Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul has warned that Christians around the world would face suffering from Islamists as his diocese has, and decisions that challenge the underpinnings of Western political ideas.
"Our sufferings today are the prelude of those you, Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future," Archbishop Emil Nona told Italian daily Corriere della Sera Aug. 9 from Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan.
Archbishop Nona has been forced from his home by the Islamic State, a caliphate recently established in Iraq and Syria. He is among five bishops who have been forced from Mosul.
The Islamist group has persecuted all non-Sunni Muslims in the territory it holds – Christians, Yazidis, and Shia Muslims have all fled the area.
“I lost my diocese,” he said in the comments which were translated by Rorate Caeli. “The physical setting of my apostolate has been occupied by Islamic radicals who want us converted or dead. But my community is still alive.”
According to the United Nations, there are more than 1.2 million internally displaced persons in Iraq, as well as at least 10,000 Iraqi refugees in Syria as a result of the Islamic State.
Archbishop Nona appealed to western media to “try to understand us.”
“Your liberal and democratic principles are worth nothing here. You must consider again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming in your countries an ever growing number of Muslims. Also you are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the cost of contradicting your principles.”
“You think all men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values.”
“If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.”
Fortunately for us we have lots of guns and encouragement from the Founders and our Constitution to mow them down like wheat if they try an insurrection. Deal with them like Russia deals with them when they get out of line and they’ll be kept in check.
People get fat and happy here and FORGET God. They start to think that they don't need God.
The imams and bishops have to COME here and SEE how we live in the WEST. Then, they will understand the West's loss of religious life and values.
Very interesting.
“You think all men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values.”
“If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.”
These words should be carefully considered, daily, by all of us. I have plenty of friends who are Muslim by heritage, and who have the same world view and sensibilities as anyone I see on a given Sunday at mass. Unfortunately, they do not define what Islam is or does on a global scale. We have a huge problem.
That’s what many in the UK and Europe thought and look what is happening.
Looks like after the sucker punch of 9/11 people would have learned something about Islam.
Didn’t that inspire anybody to do any research?
It did me. I had no idea what Islam was.
All it took was to read some of the Koran.
THE KORAN PROMISES COUNTRIES TO CONQUER AND THE SPOILS THERIN:
Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27) .
MUSLIMS ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE KORAN TO BE STILL UNTIL THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE COUNTRIES THEY HAVE INVADED:
“Be patient with unbelievers until you have strength” (86.17).
THE KORAN INSTRUCTS MUSLIMS TO BE DECEPTIVE:
Quran 3:28 Don’t have unbelieving friends unless it is to deceive them. Remember the final goal is to Allah.
SHARIA LAW MUST RULE THE WORLD
Allah’s law (Sharia) is binding to all…4:135
Allah accepts only Sharia and no other laws…7:29, 57:25
Allah is the Law-giver; He appointed Muhammad to implement the only correct laws (Sharia laws)…45:18
Quran 9:33 ISLAM WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL RELIGIONS
THE FOUNDER OF CAIR HAS TOLD US PLAINLY OF ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE IN AMERICA:
“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.”
OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR, the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.

Their colonies wanted to go to the mother country. So, it's those colonizers' fault.
SOME Europeans didn't do that. Scandinavia, Italy and eastern Europe didn't and neither did Germany. Germany wasn't unified anyway so there wasn't much they could do. They did get the Turks.
In Berlin you will see falalfel stands. If it's good, Germans will eat it...not the thinnest race in the world.
Yep, ordering more ammo, I am old but would love to kill a couple thousand of them first.
This Christian will not “suffer from Islamism!”
Coming to us, sooner than we think.
Should be mandatory reading for all politicians.
Yes
