All the “Muslim-Christian dialogue” in which Christian leaders in the West so doggedly and naively engage, while silencing those who call attention to this kind of destruction and why it is happening, hasn’t done a thing to end or even slow down the rampant Muslim persecution of Christians worldwide.
“4 killed as ISIS destroys another Mosul church,” Rudaw, July 7, 2015:
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region- The Islamic State, or ISIS, has blown up on Monday an historic Christian church in Mosul known as the Mother of Aid.
Saeed Mamuzini, media officer of the Mosul branch of the Kurdistan Democratic Party(PDK), told Rudaw the jihadists also killed four children who were near the church at the time of its destruction.
Mamuzin said the church was located in central of Mosul dates back to thousands of years.
Mosul fell in early June after the rapid capitulation by the Iraqi military, whose members reportedly abandoned their posts as the jihadists advanced.
After one year of controlling Mosul, the Islamic State has blown up many mosques and churches. In early March, it was reported that ISIS militants used explosives to demolish the much-loved 19th century Hamo mosque, deeming it sacrilegious.

The Pope prays for Muslim ” refugees ” in Lampedusa .
But doesn’t speak for Christians …. the whole world is poisoned by them đ
Baucent says
If Mosul is ever retaken by the Iraqi government forces, be sure of one thing; the Christians will NOT be permitted to rebuild any of these churches.
miriamrove says
That whole area should be taken away and all non muslim minorities including the copts should be settled there and once for all they will be free. m

Excellent Idea Mariam,
You hear all this talk from the media and politicians about the (pseudo-oppressed) Palestinian Muslims, Roganhiya Muslims, Chechen Muslims, et al, no one bothers to talk of the persecuted Copts, the displaced Syrian Christians and Iraqi Christians, even Obama is flooding the US with Muslim refugees while the Yazidis and Christians are at the mercy of the Kurds.
Italy has an opportunity of selecting these oppressed Christians and Yazids from the middle east and permanently settling them in Lampedusa.
It is a fact that non-Muslim immigrants are an asset to any western country. They integrate easily and are low maintenance. Why then do leaders and politicians in the west still bending backwards to the rebellious, ungrateful, warmongering, shariah demanding, despicable Muslim masses.
Watch this … wild bill has a similar idea
Angemon says
Dialogue with muslims in the West revolves around how they can get a foothold to preach and demand right not afforded to non-muslims.

Angemon. yes I agree, but it is the tons of money flowing from Saudi, and their organized effort to deny any connection by ” outreaching”,” building bridges” , “charities”to churches and Jewish communities about what we know from JW and all the information that is out there to learn . If there wasn’t a problem they won’t have to do this. but we know about the ideology. Funny how it is to protect muslims, when they are not, they just want a caliphate and spread the religion..by whatever form or means it takes.

What? Where? Who? No? Crazies only? Nothing to do with Islam? Sharia is only for radicals? Nah that’s not all muslims.? Come on they are peaceful. The Popes says that’s not Islam. Cameron says it’s not Islam They are victims of Christians. Christians are worst. Where did you get that it’s just the radicals? Nah that is hate speech. Obama says it has nothing to do with Islam.? They are just radical terrorist? Come on it’s a religion? Where do you get these stuff? The government will take care of it? Nothing I can do? Christians don’t belong in the Middle East? Merkel says they are part of us? Your hateful?
This is what I hear…and when questioned, I find out they have never heard that about what is in the book or read much about what they defend. The best I can hope for is that they get curious and I think that they just might do some more reading and thinking, since lately the media is exposing a little more and I just told them something they never heard before

I guess AMAZING GRACE applies only to Black Christians gunned down by a deranged young man with no affiliation to any so called Right Wing Extremest Group. It appears that some world leaders don’t believe Arab Christians are worth defending . Indeed Racism is rampant in the U.S., ESPECIALLY IN THE WHITE HOUSE !

Hey Caliph Ibrahim, think finance not romance.
My conclusion from this story is that the New Caliphate must be doing well financially. Back in the day, back when times were harder, after takeover Moslems converted seized churches to mosques and let the folk take their prayer rugs there. This was a somewhat odd practice given their strong preference for moral hygiene, but understandable. Now they blow the churches up, no doubt for symbolic effect, which is real so give them credit for that at least. But, given the very rapid expansion of Islam these days of one of the world’s great religions one of the three Abrahamic faiths, wouldn’t it make more sense to convert these fallen churches so as to immediately provide more worship capacity? I mean, you know that any number of Copts and even Yazidis need mosque space in which to practice their new religion.

Islam…religion of peaceful coexistence? Not.
Islam…religion of TNT and demolition. Check.

Destroying a church building does NOT destroy God’s temple …
But destroying the body of Christ (Christians) is a far more serious matter to the one true God:
“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” — 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

UN Heritage give just the obligatory recognition that itâs happening. They donât threaten an outcome for the action The US is a total farce. it is bad enough that we have a President who says nothing but God Forbid Israel should fire on a Mosque used as a munitions dump-the World goes crazy. The US State has just noted that itâs happening with Marie Harf cautioning ISIS to stop. They must be in a belly laugh every time. However, do we have much room to complain? Since last week Obama and minions with politician wrestling each other off the bandwagon we have erased history, dishonored men who fought under the Flag of the South for whatever reason (most did not fight for slavery and most were not slaveowners), Now we are removing any vestige of the Flag from cemeteries removing statutes of honor and digging up graves to remove bodies. Only bad things can happen to us these type of action especially to define a grave. So, back to iSiS, is it any wonder to Robert, Pamela, Brigitte or most of the Readers myself included that our President is making a mockery of our values not you all practice but the perception of what we as a society place on things? I HOPE ROBERT YOU GET TO READ THIS

There is a group of yelling people over there. Getting closer I see they are stoning a Christian. There is a figure away from the crowd holding coats for the mob. He looks remarkably like, could it be, the Pope?
