These Americans return to Iraq as Christian warriors against Islamic State
WaPo ^ | 02 March 2015 | Loveday Morris

DAHUK, Iraq — In a smoky living room in a makeshift military headquarters, Brett, a former U.S serviceman with tattoos of Jesus etched on his forearms, explained how he hopes to help keep the church bells of Iraq ringing.

“Jesus tells us what you do unto the least of them, you do unto me,” said the 28-year-old from Detroit who served an extended tour in Iraq in 2006 and 2007. He asked for his surname not to be published, to protect his family at home. “I couldn’t sit back and watch what was happening, women being raped and sold wholesale.”

So in December he traveled to northern Iraq, where he joined a growing band of foreigners leaving behind their lives in the West to fight with new Christian militias against the Islamic State extremist group. The leaders of those militias say they have been swamped with hundreds of requests from veterans and volunteers from around the world who want to join them.

This is a war of Mohammedan sunni wahhabi against YOU. Are you going to fight and kill wahhabis or are you going to bowl down and let them cut your head off? You better get damned ready .

Will the US arrest those fighting against ISIS and call them terrorists, while the US calls ISIS an insurgent movement

As the Lord God says in the Scriptures of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

John 15:

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

In our day and age, this is about the closest thing to a Crusade as we're going to get. God speed, young men, and if it be his holy will, may others take up the cross and the sword.

Yes. You can start a perfectly legal Maltia in your “Church” to protect your services in worship of God and His Son. That malitia should be ex combat led with the heaviest legal weapons and ammo available, There should be gathering points for the congregational members to cluster in the event of an EMP or Moslem onslaught of Christian slaughter. Women should have a food store and water and clothes. Men need weapons, ammo and vehicles and extra fuel. Get this quick.

This link, from a few days ago, provides an email address for volunteers and also a donor link. Walid Shoebat put out the call, the Right Scoop ran with it and is where I originally saw it.
