The Knights of Columbus are to raise and donate $2 million to help save Karemlash, a predominantly Christian town on Iraq’s Nineveh Plain that was invaded and ransacked by ISIS before being liberated by coalition forces last November.

This is a great effort worth supporting. I'm actually over in the UAE now finishing up a work project but when I get back home in about a week, I'll be looking to do some fundraising for the Knights in my parish.

I’m impressed by the courage of arab Christians who determine to stay and rebuild.

We should bring back the Templars. Scare the hoodoo out of the muzzies!!

That I could go along with.

I only wonder what the reaction would be if the Muslims or whatever were raising OPENLY raising money because they thought ‘Raleigh NC (I just picked a name) wasn’t Muslim enough and they thought the Muslims weren’t getting a fair deal?

WE are constantly sending people to ‘meddle’ in other countries business and yet would be raising holy hell if the Russians were sending ‘Peace Corps’ volunteers or ‘Election Monitors’ here.

It’s almost as if our ME policy over the last several years was designed to erradicate the Christian population.

[Shark24]

Yep, it sure looked like that. There appears now to be a glimmer of hope, we will see.

[MeganC]

You’re welcome!

The KofC do some wonderful things and this is one of them!
