Iraq: Chaldean bishop of Mosul is kidnapped

Feel the love. From AKI (thanks to C. C.):

Mosul, 29 Feb. (AKI) - Paulos Faraj Rahho, the Chaldean bishop of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul was kidnapped on Friday after he finished celebrating the rite of the Via Crucis at a local church.

Eyewitnesses said that a group of armed men stopped the bishop as he was travelling in his car and took him by force.

President Bush should be notified everytime this happens to a clergy or layperson in the Chaldean community.

Or maybe he does and just doesn't care???? I hope that's not the case, but I don't think I can give him the benefit of the doubt. Remember, things are improving.....

No excuse exists for why the U.S. military is not providing security for the Chaldeans and other minority populations in Iraq. It disgusts me and makes me sick. That would be the only reason I would support continued involvement in this mess.

Oh, I hope it was the Muslims who kidnapped him. We're always hearing from our media and our leaders about how the Holy Holy Qur'an teaches such great hospitality and tolerance. I hope it was members of the Religion of Peace, and not more of those violent Judeo-Christian terrorists. In fact, if it was Muslims, I bet they were just protecting the bishop from his dangerous co-religionist Crusaders. Yeah, that's right, that's the ticket.

Maybe we could trade him out for the Archbishop of dhimmibury..?

didn't they just give a few millions for mosk construction in England?

Let's see how these stone-idolators pay back the kindness.

We all know the answer.

Perhaps your church going Christians should be notified instead of snoozing through another sermon this Sunday morning. Here's what I hear coming from American Christian churches regarding the slaughter of Christians by the Islamists worldwide:

(Did you hear anything, Adobe?)

There is no further information of Rahho's whereabouts or his condition.

yeah, we know what could happen to this man. All this stuff goes unreported, the persecution of Christians in the islamic is a tragedy. But all we hear about are the palestinians, the wicked jews, the big bad US etc etc

Q; Why does not Christiana Amanpour do a documentary on the persecution of the christians in all the countries of the religion of peace.

A. Because she is an ignorant, bigoted, PC Spouting Liberal shithead.

Abode:"No excuse exists for why the U.S. military is not providing security for the Chaldeans and other minority populations in Iraq. It disgusts me and makes me sick."

I read of a US officer saying they didn't want to arm the Christian/Infidel minorities for fear of upsetting the "sensitivities of the Islamists"

It's good to know Infidel's lives are slightly lower on the pecking order than Islamist's sensitivities.

The only people in Iraq who aren't armed to the teeth are the Infidels.

Way to go US Army, way to go.

The Shiites are safely bunkered down in the Green Zone -Oh what an effin' suitable colour to choose. The colour of ISLAM- the Sunnis are being armed and bribed by the US.

Jizya time folks.

The infidels?

DOG MEAT

The Pentagon hire MB sympathisers and fire MB critics and their consultants refuse to sit down with IDF vets, so we shouldn't be too surprised that the Iraqi Christians were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better treated under Saddam than now.

This treatment of the Christians/Jews in Iraq would've been unthinkable under Saddam. Unthinkable.

Come back Mr Naughty Saddam, all is forgiven.

The World has gone nuts.

Abode, just think of it as "democracy" in action.

The biggest tribe - the Muslims - don't like the smaller tribe - non Muslims - and so are killing them.

It's Democracy. The US say it's the way forward.

So that's it.

That's why the infidels simply cannot be armed. The majority wouldn't like that you see.

This is called democracy.

Isn't it a wonderful thing.
