Iraq: Muslim murder of 70-year-old Christian raises fears of more jihad attacks on Christian community

Ohmegod ...Friday and demonstrations.

The "Religion of Peace" strikes again!

But, according to the "moderate" Muslims at Loonwatch, the level of support for Christians amongst Muslims is overwhelming. Why, there was even this one event where they acted as human shields to protect Christians against other Muslims.

Iraqi Christians fear more violence tomorrow, Friday, when demonstrations are scheduled to take place in the country’s main cities....
........................

Friday—always the most dangerous day of the week for any Infidel in the Muslim world.

Can you think of anything equivalent outside Islam? Are Saturdays known for their anti-Jewish violence in Israel? Are Catholics and Baptists running amok on Sundays after church services in any Christian-majority country?

Well, no. Sundays tend to be quiet days that people spend with their families.

As for those demonstrations—there has been "unrest" in Kurdistan and a call for what has now become a ubiquitous "Day of Rage" in Iraq.

There are remonstrations against "corruption"—like all Muslim countries, Iraq is quite corrupt. There have also been general accusations of "repression". While Iraq has hardly become the shining example of Jeffersonian democracy the West had hoped, it is actually significantly *less* oppressive than most Muslim nations, and certainly very much less so than it was under Saddam Hussein.

So—what exactly is this all about? Is the "unrest" that began in Tunisia just indiscriminately sweeping regimes of all stripes in Dar-al-Islam?

Who knows. It may well provide an opportunity to terrorize and attack Christians, though—always favored recreation in the Muslim world.

More:

“People are scared,” the Christian leader said, “because extremist groups could infiltrate [demonstrations] and cause havoc”. Many fear more “looting, destruction and even targeted killings.”

The Christian community “has been suffering for some time,” the source said. Christians continue to “move cautiously out of fear of new attacks.”

Yes. Just like in Egypt with the Jihad violence against the Copts, it's not as though the regime so far has been doing anything much to protect Infidel citizens.

I like how Obama has lifted a finger to help these people. I mean, it's not like we have an entire army over there or anything.

The Christian population in (what is now) Iraq has been gradually reduced over the centuries due to processes such as these. Muslims are programmed by Islamic doctrine to either convert, or else hate, subjugate, enslave, or expel, or kill, non-Muslims. Some Christians were killed en masse, others were killed in vigilante attacks and assassinations, others were forced to flee; others under the torturous pressures of the dhimma declared conversion to Islam. Others were reduced through Islam's self-serving marriage policies, including the policy whereby Muslim men are allowed to marry women "of the Book", where in practice the wife is pressured to convert* and the children are raised all as Muslims. *A Muslim male is promised a "double reward" from Allah if he converts the woman he marries.

When I read news reports like this today, I imagine how much is not told in the history books, individual stories that, perhaps most often, were never recorded. History in Muslim countries is for the most part written by Muslims from the Islamic perspective. I would guess that what happened to non-Muslims living prior to our modern age, with its news reports that get spread around the world, was much worse and more extensive than what we see today.

someones God approves of this.

a "group burst into his home and stabbed 70-year-old man to death. He lived alone in a house in Karrad, central Baghdad."

there will be no charges laid.

Any decent liberal, and particularly Jewish liberals, must stand up in outrage against these murders and pogroms carried out against a religious minority by too many members of the dominant religion afflicted with hate-filled zeal. These cannot be regarded anymore as a couple of isolated incidents by a few madmen. If a true moderate/liberal Muslim can condemn it and warn about it in the harshest terms, where are our liberals that would explode in the streets and the media and the campuses if the roles were reversed? Is the blood of a Christian cheaper than that of a Muslim just because he's a Christian? Do Christians have less of a right to life?

Paraphrasing Shakespeare, hath not a Christian eyes? Hath not a Christian hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer as a Muslim is? If you prick Christians, do they not bleed? If you tickle Christians, do they not laugh? If you poison Christians, do they not die?

So why the double standard? If you're a true liberal rise up to stop this murderous insanity.

You know what gets me about this?

This was a 70 year old man, alone and unarmed, utterly defenceless.

A 'group' of armed men - young men, most likely - barged into his house and *stabbed him to death*. Doubtless they ecstatically screeched 'allahu akbar' as they performed the ritual human sacrifice.

And doubtless they regarded this as a grand display of the Power of Islam, the power of Muslims to do whatever they like, the unfettered hand; and went strutting off like bantam roosters afterward, crowing and bursting with the sense of their own magnificence, their superior strength.

When they are, in fact, creeping sneaking contemptible cowardly THUGS and bullies without a single drop of real courage anywhere in their souls.

Had a fully-armed US marine stepped out from behind the door in that man's house and pointed a machine-gun at them, betcha those thugs- all hepped up to butcher an unarmed elderly Christian - would have HOWLED and run for cover with their tails between their legs, yelping like pi-dogs.
