According to Rudaw, an Iraqi news agency, on February 2, security sources from the Ninevah police district said that the Islamic State blew up the Church of the Immaculate Virgin—one of the largest and oldest Chaldean churches in the ancient section of Mosul.
The security source said: “The organization finished wiring the church with explosives this morning and detonated it, leaving widespread destruction in the church and neighboring buildings.”
Prior to this, the old church — which stood on the foundation of what was the most ancient Christian church in Mosul – had withstood previous attacks by Islamic militants, including a 2008 car bomb attack.

Not that Mr. Obama cares all that much about ancient Christian communities being persecuted in the Muslim world. He blathers on about Christians giving offense to Muslims, instead.
Richie says
apparently opposing the Islamic persecution of Christians is concidered Islamophobic

Uh Huh, JC, and it bears repeating till the sky falls on our heads and we’re blue in the face ; ”The future must not belong to those who insult the prophet of islam”.
Alexius Comnenus says
The future will belong to the Christian Faith and to islam false religion.
Obama made the mistake during the Brakefast Prayer Meeting to compare Christianity with islam. This cannot be compared since islam attacked the world since 632 AD.
Excess of zeal were made but many regretable acts were done as a reaction to the many centuries of crimes against humanity committed by these ‘children’ of Mohamed.

If there’s a hel, I hope those who destroy history are entitled to a very special place. A very, very special place.

From the beginning Islam has been interested in destroying both Jewsh and Christian civilization as it purports to be the final revelation of Allah and therefore must try to annul it predecessor. It makes a ridiculous interpretation of the Bible. However, this is not in any way reasonable, so they must violently destoy Christian and Jewish civilization

We should level their mosques, see how they like it.

We should but “being the bigger person” is for some reason the preferred route. Even though it’s obvious that tactic only makes them hate us more. They’re children. They need a firm hand to show them who is boss. When we figure that out, this bullshit will be curbed.
Joseph says
Even when that mosque is used as a warehouse for weapons or as a shelter for combatants?
jay says
But but but the KRUSADEZZZ!!!

Nobody seems to get it…all of this is happening because God is angry with the Chrisitan population of the world.Why?Because the West has turned it’s back on God..allowing humanists..secularists..atheists..and pagans to gain control.We have become dull in our senses…and embraced the very world that rejects Christ..we allow the removal of God from public forum..we accept sin as entertainment..we spread pornograghy..we pass immoral laws such as sodomy marriage and “rights”..we kill our babies in the womb out of inconvenience..we turned Sunday..the Christain sabbath..into just another day to shop and watch sports.We have turned our backs on God..so God will do as He had done to the ancient Hebrews when they did the same..He will hand us over to our enemies.And that is what is happening now.The Muslims are invading through the womb..Europe has a death population rate..so the Muslims are fiilling the void.So too with the USA…..the Muslims will rid societies of pornography..alcohol…homosexuality..abortion..and then perhaps the remnants of Christianity will be used by God to pull the rug out from their feet..once we have seen the fruits of our own wickedness..and God will then bring down His enemies…so what can we do?Instead of griping moaning or talking trash from the convenience of your keyboards..we must turn back to God..it starts with each individual..and the family..and spreads out..we must start praying..amending our lives..rejecting sin in all it’s forms..even in movies..television..etc..and rid our govt of those who clearly seek to continue to offend God.Otherwise sit back and watch the fire continue to spread across the Middle East..Europe and slowly but surely…here…it’s already happening…pray pray pray..and spread the faith by openly living it with out fear or shame or ridicule.God is watching and waiting for His children to respond.
