And they’re just getting warmed up. “Islamic State desecrated 45 churches in Mosul, says Christian aid organization,” MCN, August 17, 2014:
The mission of Aid to the Church in Need organization went to northern Iraq to provide assistance and support to all displaced Christians. The mission experienced the suffering of hundreds living in tents where temperatures reach 43 ºC. The mission expressed its sorrow for around 45 churches in Mosul that were destroyed and converted into mosques and centers for the Islamic State.

God will have his way with these Sorry Idiots (“Wild Donkey’s”) along with their so called allah and the false prophet… They will be fuel for Hell.
Jay Boo says
Mark X,
Are you really that pathetically desperate for attention?
Will the true Mark X (Ismail) please step forward.
There are many perspectives here and Ralph is just expressing one of them. It was very clever of you to jump on top of the first post.
Notice how you totally ignore other commenters who ramble on with multi-line verses though.
It was bound to come out.
You gave yourself away a few days ago.
I believe that I know exactly who you really are.
You felt it very important to remind us that you were banned and that you were formally using the moniker Ismail.
What kind of average troll using a new moniker goes out of his way to repeatedly remind us of his former moniker and who would repeat over and over that he was a former Egyptian Ex-Muslim while uttering profanities and indirectly self-mocking his ‘fear on his life’ for being an apostate? Some new readers here are not familiar with your full bag of sordid tricks.
What kind of troll would be so pathetically jealous of another JW commenter (Salah) that he would assume the false identity of a former Egyptian Ex-Muslim?
Your old routine was always the same begin by criticizing Islam then segue into a false equivalence attention seeking attack on Christianity.
What commenter would be such a pompous jackass as to shamelessly bait and assault the credibility of Salah in such a way.
I wonder?
Jay Boo says
Did I spell pompous jackass correctly?
Jay Boo says
By the way Mark X
the topic is Christian churches desecrated
But you already knew that which is why you thought you would get more attention here.
Pathetic
Champ says
Bravo, Jay Boo! And I see that “Mark X” is back to his ole offensive ways–again; so much for his meaningless apologies.
Jay Boo says
Thanks Champ
I am also thankful that I missed his meaningless apologies.
I can only imagine.
Champ says
You’re welcome, Jay Boo …yeah and I will never fall for this guys meaningless apologies *ever* again.

Well said. Thank you for saying it.

You keep your lack of belief for yourself. The absence of God is only in your brain but not in your soul. This is even if you deny His existence. Judge yourself first.

Get. lost. troll => Mark X
Your aplogies are *meaningless*
Mirren10 says
Hi, Champ !
I see ‘Mark X’ (aka Ismail) has had his comments deleted, and is no doubt banned, again.
He *may* be a mohammedan apostate, but there is still a very thick layer of typical mohammedanism there ! 🙂
Champ ♥ says
Hi, Mirren10, my dear sweet friend!! 🙂
Yes, it appears that he has been banned => again. Personally I question whether or not he is actually an apostate from islam–as it could all be an act, but God only knows for certain, I reckon. In either case, his snide remarks towards Christians sure are annoying and hes worn out his welcome. And he posted this garbage on a thread about Christian churches, no less. Wow.
Xipe says
Well, your god and theirs is the same thing, Ralph. But good riddance to both. So we will be half in agreement. BTW, check your notes: there is no hell, there is no heaven. We make both here, in a sense. But your vindictive Christianity is just a mirror of the vindictive Islam. Fuel for hell? Maybe all of you.
somehistory says
The Christian God is the True God. He is not the same as the false god of islam and He doesn’t order those who have faith in Him to rape, kill, maim, torture or burn the houses of worship of other religions.
Evidently you don’t agree with any of that, so just why did you decide to comment on an article specifically about churches being destroyed?
Take this and chew on it: God is patient, but His patience is not unending. Someday, and that could be just any day, He will “repay.”
jj says
I guess you will find out about hell eventually when you die, because it is real.
KAS says
Allah is just the arabic word for God you moron, arabic christians use the word to talk about the christian conception of God. And that’s without going into the history of how Islam, Judaism, and Christianity have a shared history with shared Prophets and Gods. You stooopid.
Jay Boo says
The moment Islam stops making up excuses for attacking (other religions) and whining about victimhood when caught it has to deal with the crushing emptiness of a lecherous evil clown false prophet who fabricated an obvious vanity farce to flaunt subservient duty as if it were actually a religion.
Islam is still not even a religion.
Without enemies Muslims must look inward only to discover that with Islam there is nothing there.
Oliver says
Jay Boo–I agree with most-almost all-of this last post that you have.
With one exception-Muslims ALWAYS have enemies–if not otehr religions/infidels, then other Muslims who don’t agree with THEIR particular version of Islam. (Iraq-Sunni vs Sh’iitte (or however it shoudl be spelled); Pakistan-same and killing of the other Muslim sect.
Etc.
By the way-curious-don’t recall it mentioned–the mosques in Britain; France; US, Ausrtralia etc promoting jihad, etc. Are they both (Sunni & Sh’iatte) or jsut one, or ( for want of a bteer term) non denomiantional hosues of death worship?
Thanks for any feedback.
Jay Boo says
Oliver ,
Maybe I did not phrase it as clearly as I could have.
Muslims must always seek out enemies or else they will be forced to examine Islam.
That is what I was referring to by “Without enemies Muslims must look inward only to discover that with Islam there is nothing there.”
If Islam was ever to not have enemies it would quickly fall apart and collapse like a Ponzi scheme without new investors.
Oliver says
Jay Boo,
your clarification is excelllent; in essence, we agree.
Andrea says
I am saddened at the loss of Christian churches and the killing of Christians. Can’t the world stand up to these foul aberrations of a human beings and strike them dead? I thought there was a world consensus that killing based on religion is bad.
Michael Copeland says
Not quite.
“Muslims must kill non-believers wherever they are unless they convert to Islam”, said Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt, the highest Muslim religious authority in the world.

TH says
I think Pope Francis should ask all the bishops of the world to carry out collections and raise funds in every parish in the world to be sent to support these victims of these Islamic savages in Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and elsewhere. In Iraq, most of the victims are Catholics of the Chaldean rite. Of course, Christian charity is not guided by denomination but universal and destined to help anyone being persecuted by the likes of these Islamic savages.
Oliver says
I have a better idea. Frances calls for redistribution of wealth, etc. WHY NOTT HAVE THE VATICAN SPEND SOME OF ITS TREASURES TO HELP THE PEOPLE (Christian and jewish) victims of the religion of piss?
Just asking.
Rhetorical, I know.
Like all socialists, ” what belongs to you belongs to me; what belongs to me belongs to me”.

The beautiful cross of Christ has been removed, and it’s in place, an evil islamic IS flag …how appalling!
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” — 1 Corinthians 1:18
And Ralph wrote:

Exactly, Ralph …
“But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.” — Romans 2:5
Also, this is very interesting regarding the church …
Question: “What is the church?”
Answer: Many people today understand the church as a building. This is not a biblical understanding of the church. The word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia which is defined as “an assembly” or “called-out ones.” The root meaning of “church” is not that of a building, but of people. It is ironic that when you ask people what church they attend, they usually identify a building. Romans 16:5 says “… greet the church that is in their house.” Paul refers to the church in their house—not a church building, but a body of believers.

Kyle Stubbs says
There’s nothing beautiful about the cross, it’s an icon of torture. It was and still is a vengeful mechanism of ‘justice’.
It’s interesting how you can reinterpret the church as ‘the people’ with recourse to the ancient Greek, it just goes to show that there is no bible in any definite sense.
No church, no bible, just incoherence and people striving vainly to find sense.
Oliver says
Kyle,
Decades ago, when I was in college ( a Jesuit- Catholic university) (I am NOT CATHOLIC, by the way), a gentleman ( and a gentle man) whom I had known since I was a little child ( and my sister’s father-in-law, incidentally) died, after a long and painful illenss of ALS (Lou Gherig Disease).
I aksed a priest to explain-why a good man, who never harmed anyone, shoudl suffer, while scum like Eichmann lived a peaceful life (until the Mossad caught hioim) and Mengele, who was never brought to jsutice.
his answer-look at the most sophisticated computer (Cray- those days)-yet the human mind is uperior-it created the machine. So, there is a G-d; and a life of some sort after.
Decades later,I was with a friend of mine, born Catholic and an athiest.
And he told me about a (I believe Dutch, nto sure) mathematician and philospoher, who was born jewish. he wrote a long math. thesis, “proving” that there iss no G-d. But he went to services; read The Torah (Five Books of Moses) etc.
When asked why, hsi reply was–” my theorem cannto be rooven or disproven. So, if I am right, well, i did good deeds; helped others;—-. If i am wrong, i can tell G-d—well, i didn’t beleive in you, but I did your bidding, anyhow”.
I think that answers heaven/hell if there is a G-d.
My view
Caeser Augustin says
Islamic State: 45 churches
desecrated and converted
into mosques
Aahhhh Churches desecrated and converted to mosques. Preety sure the Athiest are happy about this, nothing to see here. Afterall christians deserves nothing less. But God Forbid the Christians do the same to a mosque, All hell will break loose how dare those vile christians destroy a “Holy” mosque.
Promise to ISIS and Moslems of Iraq, You’ll get what’s coming to you. You can be sure about that.

In Spain when the muslims conquered the country in 711, they established their capital in Córdoba and took over the Cathedral, destroyed it and built their mosque there. Then in the 13th century when the Castilian King Ferndinand reconquered Córdoba and most of the south of Spain, the mosque was taken and the Cathedral built within it. Now, the Socialist regional government has been on a campaign trying to steal the Cathedral from the Catholic Church which has had it almost 8 centuries, not to mention the fact that before the muslim conquest there was a cathedral in the same place. The left is beholden to Islam.
KAS says
Actually, it’s a shame that such historically important buildings are damaged, some atheists see churches as bastions of ignorance that should be torn down but most of us think they are important relics of our past that are usually beautiful and inspiring and spiritual, and will one day make great venues for Thai food.
Rich says
So who is organizing individuals(ex-military) to go fight the jihadis in Iraq/Nigeria/Syria/Sudan/etc.. WITHOUT the US Military rules that tie our hands? We can be as ruthless as them without the chicks/homos/lawyers in the Pentagon and White House binding our hands. How can we get our weapons in-country or find weapons in-country upon landing? Once there, we will kill enough jihadis to resupply with their weapons and ammo? Who is recruiting? If nobody yet, then maybe I HAVE TO BE the first?
Our corrupt government is on the side of our enemies. The congress is corrupt, worthless and impotent.
The Pope is worthless and does nothing to raise and/or finance an army to protect christians. He can’t even be bothered to mention the slaughter or have his priests mention the slaughter during our weekly Mass. Instead he meddles in safer issues, like ILLEGAL immigration in the USA. For all I care, the jihadis can march to Rome and loot their treasure AFTER beheading the Pope and all of the worthless cardinals. If you can’t be bothered to defend christians, I will NOT answer any call to arms to protect the worthless carcasses of marxists and closet homosexuals. GO AHEAD Jihadis! The Vatican treasures are YOURS for the taking! They are cowards and morally bankrupt! We will not defend people too corrupt and amoral to act.
Mia says
Hold on now, sir! Though I perfectly agree with you that this has to be stopped, and it does (and prayers on knees daily it does not come to the US), that does not mean that any encouragement/okaying to continue this towards people not agreed with. I am not catholic, nor do I agree with certain decisions made by some, but saying this jihad should be aimed towards any particular group is horrifying. No one deserves this. Absolute no one.
Anyone going through persecution deserves help, and as human beings we need to stand up and help in whatever way God sees fit.

I can hear the shameless glee in Rich’s comment.
Rich’s last paragraph is dripping with such vileness that it is quite clear Rich’s true message here is to assign blame.

Anyone but Muslims.

I’m going to be charitable, and assume your outburst is a result of anger and frustration.
However, even in the midst of anger and frustration, to say ” For all I care, the jihadis can march to Rome and loot their treasure AFTER beheading the Pope and all of the worthless cardinals” is unconscionable.
And not only unconscionable, but *stupid*. Do you really think if IS, and all other jihad groups ever were strong enough to march against the Vatican, that *you* would be safe ? Do you really think, if they beheaded the Pope and Cardinals, *your* head would rest easy on its shoulders ? The Pope and his Cardinals may be stupid, shortsighted, and failing in their trust, but do you *really* think they deserve to be murdered by ravening mohammedan monsters ?
Do you really think the treasures of the Vatican, and Rome, are so much dross that their destruction should be just shrugged aside ?
GP says
Specifically, how is a mosque a threat to the community within which it is built?
Every single mosque in the world, by definition, is modeled on the mosque of Muhammad in Medina in accordance with the Sunnah. The Sunnah interprets the Qur’an by reporting exhaustively on everything that Muhammad said, did, or consented to. Therefore, his Medina mosque, the first mosque, was a place where he gave judgments, where he decided who would be executed, where he instituted policy—domestic and military— where Jihad war strategies were designed. Consequently, it was a storage place for arms, a military training base, and was where troops were blessed and dispatched. Literally they were sent to conquer – Sam Solomon, former professor of sharia law
Wake up and smell the peace of islam!
GP says
…that is mosques built or stolen from Christians then defiled and desecrated. Just so you know what they do with mosques and stolen Christian churches used as mosques.

Islamic State: 45 churches desecrated and converted into mosques
…………………………
This should not surprise—Muslims have desecrated churches and turned then into mosques over the course of their long, ugly history.
There are thousands of examples, but perhaps the most infamous is Constantinople’s Hagia Sophia, where invading Muslims massacred Christian women, children, old people, priests, and nuns before turning Christendom’s most glorious cathedral into another supremicist mosque.
