First, I am convinced that what is going on in Iraq is going to have dangerous consequences for us here in these USA and for Western Europe. Prepare your minds and gird yourselves.
Pres. Obama flippantly called these heavily-armed and successfully murdering savages the “JV team”. JV TEAM?
I have followed quite a few stories about the horrific actions of ISIS or whatever its called this week. Islamic terrorists killing people. Pewsitter has been a good source for links about the plight of Christians. I also give props to Rorate for a few important items.
Tonight a priest friend sent this, which I hadn’t seen elsewhere:
Anglican Vicar of Baghdad: ‘Child I baptized cut in half by ISIS’
[Anglican Communion News Service] The five-year-old son of a founding member of Baghdad’s Anglican church was cut in half during an attack by the Islamic State on the Christian town of Qaraqosh.
In an interview Aug. 8, an emotional Canon Andrew White told ACNS that he christened the boy several years ago, and that the child’s parents had named the lad Andrew after him.
“I’m almost in tears because I’ve just had somebody in my room whose little child was cut in half,” he said. “I baptized his child in my church in Baghdad. This little boy, they named him after me – he was called Andrew.”
The fact that Andrew’s brother was named George after St George’s Anglican Church in Iraq’s capital demonstrates the strong ties the family had to the church there. The boy’s father had been a founder member of the church back in 1998 when the Canon had first come to Baghdad. White added, “This man, before he retired north to join his family was the caretaker of the Anglican church.”
Baghdad is part of the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf, which is included in the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, a member church of the Anglican Communion.
Though the move north should have proved safer for the Iraqi Christian family, the Islamic State made sure that it became a place of terror. “This town of Qaraqosh is a Christian village so they knew everybody there was part of their target group,” said White. “They [the Islamic State] attacked the whole of the town. They bombed it, they shot at people.”
The Islamic State group captured Qaraqosh overnight Aug. 6/7 after the withdrawal of Kurdish forces.[...]
The world is getting crazy dangerous, folks. I don’t know about you, but we are going to see terrible things here, in the aftermath of what is happening there.
Pray for these poor people.
Meanwhile… more from the Religion of Peace HERE:
ISIS Sets Up Sex Slave Market to Sell Hundreds of Christian Women
[...]
Witnesses reported that, of the 500 Christian women abducted from Mosul alone, the ones who were deemed attractive were taken to ISIS princes to be their personal sex slaves.
Shoebat.com translated a statement from Red Crescent spokesman Mohammad Khuzai:
“Elements of ISIS kidnapped women from the Yezidis and Christian as Sabaya (war booty slaves), and subjected them to be sold.”
Sts. Nunilo and Alodia, pray for us.
Mrs. Great Leader better fire up the twitter, and pronto!
I would guess that the U.S. has an opportunity to obliterate ISIS. Not many reporters and cameras around the show bloodshed. Clean house.
The crusades never ended. The enemy just waited all these years to come to power.
It is still as simple as good vs. evil. Christianity vs. Islam.
The call to arms has never been clearer in hundreds and hundreds of years.
Prayer for Iraq
O God, who art the unsearchable abyss of peace,
the ineffable sea of love, the fountain of blessings
and the bestower of affection,
who sendest peace to those that receive it;
Open to us this day the sea of thy love
and water us with plenteous streams
from the riches of thy grace
and from the most sweet springs of thy kindness.
Make us children of quietness and heirs of peace,
enkindle in us the fire of thy love;
sow in us thy fear;
strengthen our weakness by thy power;
bind us closely to thee and to each other
in our firm and indissoluble bond of unity:
Syrian Clementine Liturgy (in: For all God’s people; p. 73)
Litany for Iraq
For lasting peace in this ancient land – From you, O Lord.
For wisdom and compassion for all in authority – From you, O Lord.
For comfort for families separated or bereaved – From you, O Lord.
For the release of captives – From you, O Lord.
For safety and security for minority communities.
For refreshment for the weary and healing for the sick – From you, O Lord.
For continuing faithfulness of the ancient churches of this land – From you, O Lord.
For tenacity of spirit for small Christian groups – From you, O Lord.
For the mutual enrichment and support of those of different Christian traditions – From you, O Lord.
You, Lord of all, we confess;
You, Lord Jesus, we glorify;
For you are the life of our bodies
And you are the Saviour of our souls.
The response in the litany and this hymn both come from the Chaldean liturgy. The ancient hymn celebrates Christ the source of resurrection in all situations of death and deprivation. (in: With All God’s People, p. 21, 22)
From Anonymous:
Father God, Our Savior and King,
We come to You in despair over the evil being done to our Middle East Christian brothers and sisters. We ask that You would put Your hand of protection upon them and that You would sustain them as You did the Israelites in the desert. Lord, cause our brothers and sisters to cry out to You for help and show them the peace that only You can give in answer to their needs. In their darkest moments, Lord, keep them, strengthen them, and comfort them. When they despair that no one is coming to help them, Lord, reveal Your glory and restore their souls.
We ask you these things in the blessed name of Your precious son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Of course I must say WARNING: Graphic video. You HAVE BEEN WARNED, a lot of these victims appear to be teens. I post this because the world needs to see first hand the work of these demons, not that it will make any difference to liberals.

Wow: You just described this country to a T. (not /s)
Why should people like this be allowed to live on the same planet as the rest of us?

Well, somehow he got elected POTUS twice.
Unless we are willing to defeat Islam, destroy mecca and the essence of their damnable religion, this will go on till the end of time.
Amen.
In Jesus name..AMEN.
Please Lord come quickly !!!
Too bad we have a muslim president.
Would be a righteous rout!
It is going to go on until the end of time. I don’t know if you have looked at the Drudge Report but we have a very serious problem right here on our southern border. Nobody is doing anything about it.
We’re going to have our own pictures soon if we don’t somehow convince enough democrats to abandon Obama.
It’s past time that the country stop worrying about being called racist and deal with him.
My 2 cents
.....And God vs. Satan.
Now you understand why Americans have been buying guns and locking and loading bigtime.
AMEN...........And soon and very soon!
