Islamic State militants have abducted at least 90 people from Assyrian Christian villages in northeastern Syria, a monitoring group tracking violence in Syria said on Tuesday.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said they carried out dawn raids on rural villages inhabited by the ancient Christian minority west of Hasaka, a city mainly held by the Kurds.

Islamic State did not confirm the kidnappings. Supporters posted photos online of the group's fighters in camouflage attire looking at maps and firing machine guns. The website said the photos were from Tel Tamr, a town near where the Observatory said the abductions occurred.

Many Assyrian Christians have emigrated in the nearly four-year-long conflict in which more than 200,000 have people have been killed. Before the arrival of Kurds and Arab nomadic tribes at the end of the 19th century, Christians formed the majority in Syria's Jazeera area, which includes Hasaka.

If the peaceniks in “the religion of peace” cannot defend them, why can’t they defend themselves? Is their something in their collective that prevents it?

What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

There’s also a war on Christians here on the homefront. It’s just that judges, businesses, CPS, DHS, University Professors, and Public Schools are on the front lines in this local war.

Yes, I appreciate that fix. As you know, this is just another instance of random violent extremism.

Maybe the so-called president should host another conference about it. Oh, wait, maybe we can't call it a “conference.” Rather, lets have an assemblage of people invited to gather at a certain event to discuss a certain, but unnameable, topic.

But this all happened because: Crusades.

Yes, in deed. But they aren’t cutting heads off and raping and burning Christians yet. Churches actually would be well advised to create malitias to protect their members and church functions. They will need them very soon.

Fourteen hundred + years of war against Christians, Jews, and all others. Same old, same old. Unfortunately, the leaders of the West all kowtow to the muhamedans. Not one, especially the ‘leader’ of Western world (barf, puke, hurl), has the ‘nads to stand up and say ‘enough’. Of course the ‘leader’ of the Western world (barf, puke, hurl) is ONE OF THEM!

What the musselmen don’t seem to realize, is that when the lefties are sufficiently p.o.ed by their attacks on non-Christians, the atheists’ response will NOT be moderated by Jesus’ words. God help the musselmen because the atheists sure won’t! Satan wants to destroy mankind because we are ALL made in God’s image, so Satan doesn’t mind if evil destroys evil (lefties destroying moslems, or vice versa) as long as good is destroyed (the church). moslems also fail to realize that many atheists in power have nuclear weapons that will destroy moslems quickly and efficiently. Without the restraint of Jesus’ word, atheists are bound to let them loose on the moslems and the moslems are too blind to see this.

Yep...they kidnapped forty something last week. Not sure if they've been murdered yet....prayers.

It is time to invade. I've always just been satisfied to arm both sides of the muzzie thang and let’em have at it. If one side gets the upper hand, arm the crap outta the other side. Thin themselves out a tad.

But, this killing innocents warrants an invasion force.

Not yet, but once given enough power, I wouldn’t put it past them—and yes I’m being serious.

The “god” of this world will target Jews 1st and Christians next. It’s the way things roll until our King returns.
