"Attacks target doctors, lawyers, professors, journalists."
"Prelate Says Mosul Christians Targeted," from Zenit (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
ROME, NOV. 26, 2007 (Zenit.org).- The bishop of Mosul, Iraq, said that in his city, as in other parts of the nation, there is an effort to force Christians and educated professionals to emigrate.Bishop Faraj Raho, a member of the delegation that accompanied newly elevated Cardinal Emmanuel III Delly, Chaldean patriarch of Baghdad, to Rome for Saturday's consistory, spoke with AsiaNews about the continuing conflict in Mosul.
"Unlike Baghdad, the situation in Mosul is not improving," said Bishop Raho. "It is apparent that U.S.-led coalition forces have begun 'cleaning up' the country in the south where the influence of Iran and Syria is strongest: Basra, Ramadi, Baquba and Baghdad. As the United States moves up, so do the terrorists, who are now concentrated in Mosul."
"In Mosul," he continued, "religious persecution is more noticeable than elsewhere, because the city is split along religious lines. Unlike Kirkuk, where divisions are ethnic with Kurds, Turkmen and Arabs vying for Christian support, the division between Muslims and Christians is sharper in Mosul."
The bishop said there is a move to empty the city of its Christian inhabitants, though he said "such a plan does not target Christians alone, but the intelligentsia and the professional class as well, Muslims included."
"However, if Christians are only 3% of the city's total population, they represent 35% of those with a higher education. Forcing these people to leave means preventing the country from rising again. It means fueling ignorance, which is a support for terrorism," Bishop Raho explained.
He continued, "Such a plan is under way elsewhere in the country. Attacks target doctors, lawyers, professors, journalists. The plan is the brainchild of those who run international politics and Iraq's neighbors. No one wants a free and independent Iraq because it would be too strong. Together we would constitute a great intellectual and economic power. By keeping the country weak and divided, it is easier to dominate it."...
Good-let all the infidels leave. Then another member of the ummah can sink further into the cesspool it richly deserves. When you have a Koran, what more do you need anyway?
Maybe these Christians should take a cue from those Christian leaders and apologize to their Muslim brethren for all kinds of nastiness.
"by keeping the country weak and divided, it is easier to dominate it...'
and
'it is the brainchild of international politics...'
This is the FOOTPRINT of communists, socialists, and our domestic labeled Democrats.
All operating off the same rules. He is claiming that there is a LEFTWING Conspiracy.
I believe him.
Get rid of the intelligentsia and you provide the food that feeds the virus called ROP. Ignorance.
In WWII, the Nazis caused the flight of many Jewish intellectuals (e.g. Einstein) to the USA. If not for that fact, Germany may have invented the A-bomb first.

What might one conclude from that? Anything? Nothing?
Mosul is the modern city descended from ancient Ninevah. It is the capital of Christian Assyria. Sadly, every current plan for Iraq makes provisions for Shiite and Sunni Arabs and the Sunni Kurds but none provide for the rights of the more than three million Assyrians, many of whom are now in refugee camps in Jordan and Syria.
Even more so than the Kurds, modern Assyria is a legitimate nation with a defined terriory, national language (Aramaic) and a distinct ethnic population. Yet the US and its allies pretend it doesn't exist.
Only Pope Benedict XVI and Russian President Putin have spoken up for the rights of the Christian Assyrians and Chaldeans but these pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

...it is clear to see caring, educated people are not welcome in Islam......(they prefer the mindless death merchant thugs for their people....
....It is time we started returning Muslims...and Ban Muslim Immigration....
...by the way...Allah hates Muslims...he gives them poverty, misery, death, and no education...
Hugh and CT Yankee: I have complained to Mr. Spencer that too many of my fellow Catholics chastise me for the use of "fascistic" in describing the socio-political ideology called "Islam". They seem to believe the masquerade of Islam as one of the "3 great Abrahamic traditions". (Gag)
Well I hear echoes of Nazi fascism and Communist totalitarian techniques in this article. The Christian population reminds me of the Jewish population in pre-war Germany. What I conclude from this article is that there is less than a hair's width difference between Nazi and Communist ethno cleansings and Muslim practice when liberated by us unwitting Americans from the tyrants like Saddam. From the tyranny of Saddam to the tyranny of Sharia; not worth the waste of American life if they are going to drive the civilized and educated from their midst and descend to the 7th century barbarism.
If only Islam can get rid of the intelligentia and professionals the imams will have no one with the brains or resources to oppose their entrenched, retrograde stupidity posing a divinity.
Sounds like Mohammad's plan, begun with the assassination of the satirical poet Asma Bint Marwan, and unchanged for 1350 years.
Meanwhile, as "unfettered" as Allah is supposed to be to Muslims, and beyond all constraints of "rationality" or "natural laws", Islam's scholars have chained their deity to his single and historical Mohammedan revelation (the Koran) for all time ... in a perefectly irrational act of freezing the One who they claim is unbounded and unrestrainable.
No wonder they don't want any intelligence in Islamic regions.
It might start to ask unconfortable questions.
Targeting intelligentsia and professionals?
Following the so-honourable precedents of Mao and Stalin, are they?
from Provoslavni:" Sadly, every current plan for Iraq makes provisions for Shiite and Sunni Arabs and the Sunni Kurds but none provide for the rights of the more than three million Assyrians, many of whom are now in refugee camps in Jordan and Syria."
Yup. Operation "Iraqi Freedom" should be retitled Operation "Infidel Extinction"
The Iraqi Jews are no more and now it's the turn of the millions of other infidels.
But the good news, as Provoslavni pointed out, is that the US is arming the shiite and sunni death squads.
So it's all pluses and minuses really.
And the geniuses over on LGF call this a success.
this reminds me of that poam were they send each group to a death camp until there was no one left to speak in defense of the writer muslins historically have used minoritys as a source of protection money jizha as a source of labor for jobs muslins considered beneath there dignity and as a source of sex slaves ect ad when they stood up they killed them it kind of looks like the muslims are up to there old tricks and in need of a 7.62 mm enema to get there brains working
