For over 2,000 years, Christians and Muslims lived in peace in Mosul, Iraq, the country's second largest city. That all changed on June 10, 2014 when the Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS, invaded the city and evicted its Christian population. With the Christians gone, ISIS has begun to destroy or occupy every Christian landmark in the city.

The Assyrian International News Agency released a full list of the 45 institutions the Islamic State destroyed or occupied. Here are a few examples:

Syrian Catholic Diocese

Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation

Archbishop’s Palace Chapel

Syrian Orthodox Archdiocese

Church of the Immaculate

Diocese of the Assyrian Church of the East

Chaldean Diocese

Church of the Holy Spirit

Armenian Church

Evangelical Presbyterian Church

Latin Church and Monastery of the Dominican Fathers and Convent of Katrina Siena Nuns

Christian Cemetery in the Ekab Valley

On July 19, the Islamic State gave Christians 12 hours to convert to Islam, pay a protection tax, or die. The majority chose to flee the city. The terrorists marked Christian homes and businesses with the letter N for Nazarene and imposed a radical version of Sharia law.

“Yes, they expelled us from our real land,” one woman said. “From our real land! They told us, ‘Go away! This is not your land. Go to your Christian people and to your pastors. Let them feed you, shelter you, and give you homes.'”

The takeover started with kidnappings of security guards and soldiers. Then the group destroyed statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary and raised a black ISIS flag in Mary’s place...

GW Bush calls it "The Religion of Peace"
Our current President's name is Islamic.

Not a good trajectory for America to say the least.

Not even close. Islam is only 1400 years old.

Excellent point! I totally missed that, as obvious as it is.

Actually, I was refering to ISIS and wishing them quick despatch but after rereading my post, one could apply it in a kindly way toward the disposessed and peersecuted Christians.

"Not a peep from the media, not a peep from these celebrities who are too busy denouncing Israel for protecting itself..meanwhile a REAL Holocaust is going on in Iraq and other countries . . . "

You beat me to it.

“For over 2,000 years, Christians and Muslims lived in peace in Mosul....”

Islam is something from the 6th century — there was no Islam before that time.

She must have meant "religion," not "mysticism," because I don't think ANY era has ever been dominated by "mysticism," which historically was looked upon with suspicion by most of the leaders of institutional religion. "Mystics" were often considered heretics and were therefore often suppressed, imprisoned, or killed by religious authorities, be they Christian or Muslim.

HollyWierd Marxists and ISIS have the same enemies.

From the on-line Ayn Rand Lexicon.

" ... religion is an early form of philosophy, that the first attempts to explain the universe, to give a coherent frame of reference to man’s life and a code of moral values, were made by religion, before men graduated or developed enough to have philosophy. And, as philosophies, some religions have very valuable moral points. They may have a good influence or proper principles to inculcate, but ... "
