More jihad against Christians in Iraq from AsiaNews, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
Mosul (AsiaNews) – Another leader of the local Christian community in Mosul has been kidnapped and killed: this is the second such crime in the city in less than two months. Meanwhile, from Baghdad, the Chaldean Patriarch has made an urgent appeal for the release of a priest kidnapped on 4 December in the capital, of who there is no news as yet.Today, AsiaNews sources in Iraq confirmed the death of Elder Munthir, 69, a high-ranking leader of the Presbyterian Church in Mosul. Kidnapped on 26 November, the man’s body four days later was found with a bullet in the skull, as recently reported by the Compass Direct news agency. This is the second kidnapping of a Christian from Mosul that has ended in tragedy in as many months. On 11 October, the body of Fr Paulos Eskandar was found. Fr Eskandar was a Syro-Orthodox priest who had been kidnapped two days earlier. According to anonymous sources in Mosul, the kidnappers of Munthir had demanded a ransom of one million dollars, adding threats like: “We will kill all Christians, starting with him.”
Mosul joins Baghdad as one of the most insecure Iraqi cities for Christians to live in right now. In the Iraqi capital, the Chaldean community is anxiously awaiting news of Fr Samy Al Raiys, rector of the Major Seminary of the Patriarchate, who was kidnapped on the morning of 4 December near his home.
And politicians continue to deny that this is a Holy War...

over 200 million Christians have been murdered in just a few short decades and many more persecuted- The majority have been murdered by guess who? Yup- Islamic radicals- probably second worst offenders are communists- So glad the U.S democrats think socilaism and coddling terrorists is the way to go- it's proven so peaceful in the past http://sacredscoop.com
Cottshop, you're exactly right and we're in even bigger trouble with Pelosi taking the helm in January. That woman is very scary. I fear for our country. And nobody ever steps up to the plate to help Christians who are being massacred.
I'm sure he was killed in the name of peace.

But islam is still a religion of peace™, right?
Yeah Bush, keep telling yourself that.

l wonder if the Pope and other Christians clerics will take to the steets and protests this murder?
oh but the religion of peace cannot be declared anything but peaceful, islam equals murder.
Brave warriors, these Islamaniacs. Same method of operation-old priest, shot in the head. Wonderful folks they are. Illah's finest. If these creatures and their cult are not the spawn of Satan then there is no Satan at all.
Some people in the west have been getting big bribes to keep quiet about these filthy murders. According to catholicfundamentalism.com they have been bribing the West since Athens and Sparta were undermined by Persians. Some things never change.
That site, by the way, also has a new approach to the Catholic Church, based on the fact that God can program in three dimensions. That gets expanded to explain, well, everything, inclulding the hostility of the Middle East, still mad that Ishmael was born on "the wrong side of the sheets".

Victory over case of Christian's dead body release
Issue settled – family claims Rayappan’s body
www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/12/8/nation/16262106&sec=nation
SHAH ALAM: The tussle is over. The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) has withdrawn its claim to the body of the late Rayappan Anthony.
It filed the notice of withdrawal at the Syariah High Court registry here at 4.50pm yesterday, following an announcement by council chairman Datuk Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa.
The reason given for the withdrawal was that there was more evidence that showed Rayappan was a non-Muslim when he died.
“We have two sets of facts – some stating that he was not a Muslim and some stating that he was.
“But the existing facts were more towards him being a non-Muslim,” Mohamad Adzib told a press conference at the Mais headquarters here.
Barely an hour earlier, the Syariah Appeal Court ruled that the Syariah High Court had the power to review its Dec 1 order that gave Mais control over Rayappan's body.
The appellate court also ordered a retrial to give a chance to the late van driver's family and any relevant
The Syariah Appeal Court's ruling, however, still considered Rayappan a Muslim until the hearing proved otherwise.
The three-man panel comprising Syariah judges Datuk Sheikh Ghazali Ab Rahman, Datuk Ibrahim Lembut and Datuk Muhammad Asri Abdullah were unanimous in their decision.
Mohamad Adzib said the decision was made after consultations with the state mufti, the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) director, state legal adviser and the council's Syariah lawyers.
The family of Rayappan's second wife, a Muslim, was consulted.
“We believe that we have no more new evidence to present in court. With that, Mais will withdraw the case today (yesterday).
“We will not make a claim for the body,” Mohamad Adzib said.
Rayappan's family members claimed his body from the Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday and were relieved that the issue was finally resolved.
They were happy that their predicament was over and thanked everyone who helped to resolve the matter, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Rayappan’s 65-year-old widow Lourdes Mary Maria Soosay said she prayed every day that her husband's body would be returned to the family.
“The whole family is happy that everything has been sorted out and we can take his body back home with us,” she said.
One of the couple's daughters, Mary, 46, said she found it difficult to forget the torment she went through these past few days but was “thankful for today.”
Rayappan died on Wednesday last week due to complications from diabetes at the hospital.
When his family went to claim his body the next day, Jais officers stopped them, claiming Rayappan was a Muslim.
On Wednesday, the Prime Minister said the Cabinet had directed the Attorney-General to look into the case to confirm Rayappan's religious status.
Rayappan converted to Islam in 1990 but was said to have converted back to Christianity in 1999, and subsequently confirmed his profession of the Christian faith by way of a statutory declaration before a Commissioner for Oaths.
The funeral will be held at 1pm tomorrow at the Good Shepherd Church in Air Panas, Setapak.
Hate to say it , But Christians, born in the Middle East or not , need to be evacuated to somewhere safe till this Mess get's Sorted out ( Wink )
I hope that this sort of thing opens peoples eyes a little more as to what other Faiths REALLY have to look forward to Under Islam.
This Blind Agression/Hatred should speak Volumes to Non Muslims . But it won't . it should be widely covered in the Media. But it's not. It should be condemned by so called " MODERATE " Muslims. But it isn't.
Do the Math.
They HATE us. we just need to start believing them .
They ARE trying to tell us something here....
I wonder what it could be?
Is this why Jimmy "ding dong" Baker says we should negotiate with the IDIOTS ? Yeah, right, you hold a pencil and they're holding a stick of dynamite; I wanna see how long you sit there and talk. If I were President, you'd wake-up morning to a cup of coffee with a Nuclear Explosion going-on over there!
They are doing so much more right now in bringing in laws for political correctness that we make these other relgions seem right that they should hate Christians. The people in power do encourage them.Is it me or has the spirit of the Anti-Christ landed?
Revelation 20:4 (King James Version)
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
So who is doing this beheading in this technological future? Seems to be back in fashion, any signs?

No it's not just you.
Welcome "jesusisthelamb"!!!
And ,again I post this, Welcome to W.W.III.
The last time we encountered this type of mania, we had to nuke them. They beheaded our troops and others with glee and drove their planes into our property,tried to kill all the Jewish race and tried to enslave the whole human race.
Please, pick up your Bibles and start to read!!! Its all in there!! Its like reading todays headlines!! The Bible says that Damascus,Syria will be a heap of rubble!!! Damascus has never been burned or taken in battle, so that particular prophecy is yet to come. THIS IS the end times the bible speaks of and the road map contained therein is as plain as day.
On this day 65 years ago the underlying mania of the RELIGIOUS system of Japan, inspired by Satan, hit us at Pearl and we hit back at Hiroshima to finally end it. I recently saw a program on the History Channel that documented the research the Nazi's had done on nuclear weapons and had loaded the tech. they had on a sub and sent it to Japan. The sub was more than half way there when the sub's commander found out that the war in Europe was over, but delivered the nuke research to Japan anyway as Hitler had requested. Japan then had the material but no way to develope a bomb or a missle delivery system like the Nazi's had. The military planners then devised a plan to deliver a "dirty bomb" to the U.S.A. They built a huge sub with a large water tight pod on its front deck to house a sea plane which would launch when the sub was off the coast of California and then drop a regular bomb on San Francisco which would contain the radioactive material Hitler had sent. The sub made it all the way to the coast and was preparing to launch the sea plane when we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Do you think that was Divine intervention?? I do!!
I think our BEST weapon is prayer. Lets get millions of Americans praying as they did during W.W.II and turn this thing around!!
When you begin to pray, trust the GUIDE INSIDE for the words to say.
Islam intends to destroy all other religion. I am reminded of one of Sir Winston Churchills speeches:
Be Ye Men of Valour"
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar." This call and spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice was quoted by Churchill in his first broadcast as Prime Minister to the British people on the BBC - May 19, 1940, London.
true, true, true!!!.
