I will pray for the Iraqi Chrisitians. I hope I would have the same strength that the Iraqi Christians have. They face grave dangers, yet they do not turn from God. Oh, they are people we need to learn from.

Is this a consequence of the American led invasion of Iraq in 2002? I remember JPII condemned it as an unjust war and that it would destabilise the Middle East and cause increased violence. He was right. That doesn't justify this murder but there is now increased risk for Christians. They are seen as being in union with the west, which is so unbelievable because America is no longer truly Christian.

Due to Obama's self-righteousness, thinking that these Islamic Extremists want democracy, and in supporting them they would somehow gravitate towards democracy and the United States?

All he has done is put the ant-christian, islamic extremists in power, plunging Egypt, Libya and other islamic nations into another theocracies like Iran.

Thus essentially doubling the growth of these theocracies and enemies of the United States and democracy throughout the middle-east.

How can a mass baby-killer every hope to be the nucleus of peace???

IMPOSSIBLE!

My dear loving GOD, how can this torture of these Christian human beings keep
going on? How can this world stand by and do nothing about this evil situation.....
How can this Obama administration do NOTHING about this suffering of these tortured people? Yes, I believe something can be done! .....I am crying for all this evil that is going on and allowed....
Except for this article, I have NOT heard or read anything about this horror. Not
even Fox News, which claims to be pro-life. Really? Then, the claimed Catholics,, O'Reilly and Hannity should report this evil horror by Islamic militants, rather than becoming The Enquirer of Fox News.....O'Reilly has let his appearance on The View go to his
head! His narcissism is showing!!!It's more important to report REAL NEWS than
what is going on with the sickness of the celebrity world...I pray that they will go back to the real news that we American Catholics deserve....

Thank you Deacon Fournier for this important informative article. GOD bless you.

The "religion" (aka political ideology) of peace and tolerance strikes again. And today Obama sided with those who want to destroy Israel and the western way of life.
America, where are you???
