A longish read. I am somewhat surprised the Times even printed this.

Wishful thinking on the Slimes part (that it is the end of Christianity in the Middle East).

Is This the End of Christianity in the Middle East?

Ah, no....The future holds promise that Christianity will be around for a long time in the Middle East.

Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

The photographs and captions are heartbreaking all on their own.

The future of Christianity in the region of its birth is now uncertain.

In that region? Inside of a decade, I bet in certain parts of America, Christians will be hunted down for sport. The Muslims will DESTROY this country. As if we haven't brought the destruction on ourselves, with our trust in the twin-faced idol of the GOP and Democrat parties. We've bowed down to politics when we should have bowed down to the Creator of the Universe. Now we will get it, good and hard.

[Romulus]

Bush’s fault.

[Salvation]

No, because with persecution, the church always grows.

[onedoug]

Now ø can concentrate more heavily on eliminating Christianity in the United States.

Revelation 6
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Maybe those souls under the altar will not have to wait too much longer.
