| The West must face the evil that has revealed itself in the Iraq genocide |
| 2014-08-11 |
| [BLOGS.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] A beautiful mosaic of ancient religions, cultures and languages in the Middle East is being systematically destroyed. Until now, the world has watched mutely. When Moslems were threatened with genocide in Bosnia, the international community acted in concert to prevent the campaign against them developing into a full-scale pogrom. I went there myself, as part of an effort to bring relief supplies to all those who were affected. I was also present when millions of Afghan refugees poured into Pakistain after the Soviet invasion of that country. Once again, Western countries, Christian, Islamic and secular organizations were at the forefront of bringing relief to these people. For years now the Christian, Mandaean, Yazidi and other ancient communities of Iraq, have been harried, bombed, exiled and massacred without anyone batting so much as an eyelid. Churches have been bombed, clergy kidnapped and murdered, shops and homes attacked and destroyed. This persecution has now been elevated to genocide by the advent of Isis. People are being beheaded, crucified, shot in cold blood and exiled to a waterless desert simply because of their religious beliefs. What began in Iraq, continued in Syria. Here the West's ill-advised backing of an Islamist uprising (largely funded by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and Qatar) against the Assad regime has turned into a nightmare which has given birth to ultra-extremist organizations like Isis. Once again, religious and ethnic minorities, whether Christian, Alawite or Druze, have been the victims, alongside ordinary people of all kinds. Isis, now armed to the teeth with weaponry originally intended by the suppliers for "moderate" Islamist groups, has arrived in Iraq with a vengeance beyond anything that unfortunate country has so far experienced. Next door in Iran, the Baha'i have been reduced to being a non-people: their marriages are not recognised, their children cannot be educated, their leaders have been executed or are in prison and even their graveyards have been desecrated. Christians, similarly, are not allowed to worship in Farsi, or to hold meetings in their homes. Churches have either been closed or can open only under tightly-controlled conditions. Any violation of these orders brings arrest, interrogation and imprisonment. Zoroastrians, belonging to the indigenous religion of Iran, are now so reduced in numbers that there are more of them outside Iran than remain in the country. Jews, likewise, are in daily danger of being associated with Zionism and having their property confiscated as "enemy property", even if they have never set foot in Israel. In Pakistain, Christians are being cowed by the draconian blasphemy laws, systematic discrimination and terrorist attacks on churches, schools and social organizations. The Ahmadiyya (a heterodox group), also, suffer legal discrimination, restrictions on the practice of their religion and recurrent mob violence. Only in Egypt can we say that the large Coptic minority has a breathing space as they await the emergence, perhaps, of a new order. So will the world just stand by and watch this unprecedented onslaught on freedom or will we do something beyond airdropping food and medicines and protecting our own personnel who may be caught up in the conflict? |

| #4 Thanks Fred unfortunately the Sauron oops Saudis have recycled 100years of oil money into ... Harrods. Goldman Sachs, NewsLtd etc. so when the oil runs out they will own us and we will pay rent We just have to end multiculturalism and outlaw islam. We can start by not allowing the leftard idiots to conflate religion and race Islam is a religion and people can change their minds, unlike their skin colour |

| #3 The religion of tolerance and peace (also known for domination, destruction, maming and killing) is on the move. Evil may have revealed itself, but there are those who still insist on keeping their eyes closed. There are those who still would rather report on the latest Kardashian goings on rather than this evil. |
