ISIS’s rapid takeover of parts of Syria and Iraq and the creation of the Islamic State have gravely impacted the Arab-Christian populations that inhabit the region. Churches in the area can trace their origin to the time of Jesus Christ. Islamists, in the city of Mosul, issued an ultimatum to all Christians within the newly founded caliphate to either convert to Islam, pay a religious levy (Zakat) or face death. The Christian community is escaping to Kirkuk and the relative religious tolerance and safety of the Kurdish zone.
Origin
During the First Council of Nicea that resulted in the first uniform Christian doctrine, there were more bishops from Mesopotamia than Western Europe. The region became a haven for Gnostics, who follow what they believe to be the teachings of John the Baptist. It was this Church of the East which brought the philosophy of Aristotle and Plato, along with Greek science and medicine to the Islamic world. How times have changed, as Middle-Eastern Muslims are working overtime to remove Christianity from the face of the earth.

But just as clearly it won't be the west who repays them.
Genocide is happening under our thug president and he is saying nothing. His crazed UN ambassador, Samantha Power, is silent too.
WHY WOULD A MOHAMMEDAN HEAD OF STATE COME TO THE AID OF CHRISTIANS WHO ARE NOT CONVERTING TO ISLAM??
And that’s what Islam is about. ISIL is doing it in Iraq. Hamas is doing it in Gaza. The origin
My opinion on Obama has always been that he is a communist and an atheist who sympathizes with Muslims who he feels have been persecuted by European Christians. Basically the suffering, torture and murder of Christians is justified as punishment for their “past wrongs.” He views it the same way he views slavery in the U.S.
This unwillingness to help our Christian brothers and sisters is going to bite us in the butt.
No bad deed, either by commission or omission, goes unpunished.
“This unwillingness to help our Christian brothers and sisters is going to bite us in the butt.”
That’s putting it mildly. This is not just a matter of one man - Barack Obama. It is an entire nation depraved enough to re-elect this man and to sit idly by while Christians are massacred throughout the world and harassed by their own government at home.
It is the entire nation that will face judgement on this.
We were in Iraq and did not do what needed to be done and if we go back we again will not do what needs to be done. Stay the hell out.
No more half ass wars.
Bam could give a $%^t less about Christians. Notice he had a big dinner with the sheiks and muftis to celebrate Ramadan. Never remember him celebrating Passover with Rabbis or Easter with Christian clergy.
There is no incompatibility between Communism and Islam until the two systems are all that are left. Then they will fight each other to the death because it is ultimately all about Lenin’s “Who, Whom?” What body of men will have total rule? The kenyan’s education was bought and paid for by Arabians and his advancement was facilitated by Arabians and Communists. He understands and speaks Arabic as suggested by his flawless public profession of Shaheed in Cairo. He has, to Mohammedans, declared himself by that act to be a Believer. Moslems believe that he is Moslem. That Shaheed was not a “slip of the tongue” such as he has made many of.

It’s very dry in Iraq and Syria, and they have no good golf courses.
