So with less Americans on the street to kill with bombs, the Muslims (Religion of Peace) have now started targeting Christians, soon they will be back to targeting other Muslims and things will have gone full circle in Iraq.

The Muslims really know how to throw a great party, when do they fireup their mulchers again?

Remember when it was said they just hated Americans? They hate everyone including themselves. It’s the nature of the beast, and the beast is growing, because of political correctnes. This beast is like poison Ivy. the only way to deal with it is to cut it back and keep it cut back.

Let me guess, the bombers weren’t Jews or other Christians.

“Attack Highlights Unrelenting Plight of Iraq’s Christians”
Monday, May 03, 2010
By Patrick Goodenough, International Editor

SNIPPET: “(CNSNews.com) – Iraq’s embattled Christian minority came under attack again on Sunday, when a double bombing near the northern city of Mosul targeted a convoy of buses carrying Christian students, injuring scores of them.

Ninawa provincial authorities said a shopkeeper nearby was killed in the attack – a roadside blast followed by a car bombing – on Sunday morning. Around 70 students were hurt in the blasts.

The students were traveling in convoy to Mosul University, because it was considered a safer way to get them to classes after previous attacks on Christians.”

SNIPPET: “More than a dozen Christians in Iraq have died violently since the beginning of 2010, the National Council of Churches in the U.S. said in a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates last week.”
