| Brave Mujahideen Attack Five Christian Churches in Baghdad |
| 2004-10-18 |
| From Jihad Unspun Mujahideen rocked five Christian churches in four Baghdad neighborhoods early Saturday detonating bombs at five churches in a series of explosions from 4:20 a.m. to 6 a.m. [no date]. No casualties were reported in what is said to be have been a final warning to Iraq's Christian community. Sources close to the Mujahideen have communicated their reasons for the attacks to be that in the Christians have aligned themselves with the US-backed government and the US, rather than rejecting the occupation of the country. Iraq is a Muslim country made up of approximately 26 million Muslims and Christian's number about 700,000. While the Christian ordinarily enjoy the protection of the Mujahideen Iraq is now at war and the Christians have enjoined the coalition by working for Iraqi government ministries and groups set up by coalition authorities. Iraq's Christians have been warned in the past by the Mujahideen, along with all Muslim in Iraq, not to support the puppet regime headed by the former CIA operative and apostate Iyaad Allawi but rather to voice support for the people of Iraq who are resisting the Crusader occupation. As the Christian communities have declared their support to both the current US-backed government, the previous Iraqi government and the USA publicly, they are now considered legitimate targets. Indeed it appears that Saturday blasts at multiple locations were to be a final warning. While mainstream media are slyly linking the bombings to the start of the month of Ramadan, it's unlikely that anyone disputes the fact that this is a war on Islam. |

| #1 My advice would be to swap the 700,000 christians in Iraq for the 2.8 million muslims in America! |
