The Catholic archbishop of Mosul, Iraq, who lost his diocese to the Islamic State last year and is now in exile in Erbil (Iraqi Kurdistan), warned that the suffering in Iraq was only a prelude of what European and Western Christians will "suffer in the near future," and stressed that the West is endangering itself by welcoming "an ever-growing number of Muslims."
He also emphasized that while the West says "all men are equal," Islam "does not say that all men are equal," and "their values" are not our values.
"Our sufferings today are the prelude of those that you, Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future," said Archbishop Emil Nona, as reported in Corriere Della Sera on Aug. 9, 2014.
"I lost my diocese," said the archbishop. "The physical setting of my apostolate has been occupied by Islamic radicals who want us converted or dead. But my community is still alive."

Unlike Middle Eastern Christians, Western Christians are not pacifists. Although half are pacifist libtards turning other cheek, but the other half want blood. Middle Eastern Christians simply turn other cheek.
“The Catholic archbishop of Mosul, Iraq, who lost his diocese to the Islamic State last year”
Maybe as a start, if an Islamic country HAS a Catholic Archbishop and his diocese, we need to not change that country into something that pleases the Saudis.
And as an aside, wonder if this good man would qualify for asylum here in the USA? Didn’t Obama say Christians fleeing cannot come here?
“Unlike Middle Eastern Christians, Western Christians are not pacifists.”
Look around and reconsider that. But even if you were right, who cares? A Christian following what he believes is the way set by Christ fully deserves support and even rescue. Its a better world when not everyone is spoiling for a fight. Takes all kinds of Christians. Spanish had Conquistadors AND padres in the new world. All have their purpose. All of them being one of those types wouldn’t have worked out well.
