Islamic Group Beheads Assyrian Priest, Crucifies 14 Year Old Boy in North Iraq
2006-10-13
Mosul, Iraq (AINA) -- On Monday, October 9, a prominent Assyrian (also known as Chaldean and Syriac) priest, Fr. Paulos Iskander (Paul Alexander), was kidnapped by an unknown Islamic group. His ransom was posted at either $250,000 or $350,000. This group had demanded that signs be posted once again on his church apologizing for the Pope's remarks as a condition for negotiations to begin.

Father Alexander was beheaded on Wednesday.

Don't wait til the promised bloodletting orgy of Eid! Avoid the rush! Apologize now and get an official get-out-beheading free card, signed and pre-emptively good from now til we reneg and change our tiny little minds! Hurry! Don't let Eid sneak up on you from behind!

#9  Each time something like this happens, Islam needs to lose a city. After a few dozen cities go up in flames, they MAY get the idea that the West won't tolerate this crap any more.

#8  As argued times before, WOT > the burden is on AMerica and only America = Amerika to BOTH SAVE/JUSTIFY SECUALAR SOCIALISM + SURRENDER TO SAME. DITTO FOR RADICAL ISLAM, etal -isms. Where Radical Iran is concerned, by this scope means America must both help Iran = North Korea become a global superpower while simul weakening itself and surrendering to Radical Islam.

#6  #4 - I understand, but they shouldn't have to leave their own country and the only life they've known.

It would be better for all concerned if every Western country had a policy of helping to kill off these Murdering Bastards of Peace™ in very large numbers, there in Iraq.

#5  From the same story at Aljazeera:

The news of the priest's murder came as the leader of an Iraqi Christian group said that more than 35,000 Iraqi Christians have fled to Syria to escape the violence in their country. Christians are leaving because of individual threats from Muslim extremists and the general deterioration of security in Iraq, Emmanuel Khoshaba, the Syrian Orthodox head of the Assyrian and Democratic Movement, said on Thursday.
Christians are frequently attacked by Muslims in Iraq.Islamic groups have carried out several car bomb attacks on churches and Christian areas. Christian women have also been kidnapped in large numbers, and on other occasions been killed for not following Islamic social and dress codes.
Khoshaba's figure indicates an increase of 75 per cent from the 20,000 Iraqi Christians who were said to have moved to Syria in 2004, the year after US-led forces invaded Iraq and began the conflict.Christians made up around three per cent of Iraq's pre-war population 26 million people.

#4  Every country in the West should have an open door policy for any Christians living in Muslim countries. It's just not safe for them there.
