IRAQ BLASTS TARGET FIVE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN BAGHDAD

BAGHDAD, IRAQ  (ANS) -- A series of blasts before dawn on Saturday, October 16, targeted five Christian churches across Baghdad, Iraq, over the course of an hour have shocked Iraq’s Christian minority and marred the start of the holy month of Ramadan.

According to the BBC, a series of blasts before dawn targeted five Christian churches across the capital over the course of an hour. There were no reports of casualties.

“No-one has said they were behind the church attacks that caused extensive damage,” said the BBC in a story. “The first bomb exploded at the church of Saint Joseph at about 0400 AM (Baghdad) followed by similar explosions outside four other churches. “Flames engulfed the Roman Catholic St George's church in the central Baghdad district of Karrada.”

Kamil Shabo, a 40-year-old laborer, described the bombers as "infidels".

"They have no faith," he told Reuters news agency. "It is a religious sanctuary, how could they attack a religious place?"

Father Gabriel Shamami from St Joseph's Church said, "Muslims and Christians have been living here in harmony for hundreds of years. I don't think Iraqis would do this especially during Ramadan."

Monsignor Emmanuel Delly, the patriarch of the Chaldean Church, was quoted by the BBC as saying that there was nothing the tiny minority could do.

"If the government is powerless, what can we do," he said. "We call on them [the attackers] not to touch the holy sites."

The Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq denounced the attacks against the churches, Arabic television station al-Jazeera reported.

According to the BBc, there are around 750,000 Christians living in Iraq and many have fled to neighboring countries since the rise of Islamic fundamentalism after the toppling of Saddam Hussein.

In August devices were set off at four churches in Baghdad and one in Mosul, killing a number of people and wounding dozens more.

We want something positive for Muslims."

Their spit of a try at propaganda will not delay what they have brought upon themselves which may manifest itself soon, with the next attack as a catalyst. Sorry chumps...we know what your cult of world domination is all about..and it is too late to save yourselves from your own evil.

Hello ExSoldier


On the very first TM thread, Post 10985 contains the pre-911 message posted on the MSNBC board
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1013726/posts?q=1&&page=10951


This is post 10,997 from the same thread:

I guess I look at the totality of evidence and the fact that anyone could pose as this EOM and prattle on and on.
I agree with you that anyone could pose as EOM. However....before this FR thread, before the NEIN site, before the yahoo watch groups, that CN&V board was a cute little chat group unknown to all the "Al Queda hunters". Jeannie has said that EOM arrived on that board out of the blue, making these threats. Then 9/11. After 9/11, Jeannie continues posting with her forum pals and after all these years EOM comes back and says "Hi! Remember me?"

Curious, no?

Perhaps EOM is a sub-franchise from Al-Qaeda. Maybe it should be trademarked?


PS British chick: Did you catch the news about the documentary on BBC-2? It's on this coming Wednesday night at 9pm. Quite controversial views in it about Al-Qaeda.

Thread I was moved to "Chat" because of the size of the thread. If I recall correctly, Thread II was also send to Chat, but after a protest and some compromises, it was moved back to News.

Health warning re post 614 above:

Looks like the text was originally sourced from a subscription-based newsletter (not the unmentionable), so it wouldn’t be wise to copy any of it and bring it over here.

Hi JP,

They are open I guess it was just a late morning for them.

I got into bed last night and out of habit I patted my chest three times and immediately choked back a sob. Three pats was my signal to little Bandit to come up to my chest and cuddle and snuggle. He's been doing this for many years. I was despairing and I suddenly felt smaller footies climbing up on me. The little Manx, Amber, herself no spring chicken and ill, deliberately strode up on my chest and proceeded to kiss and lick my chin! I cried. It's like Bandit briefed Amber on the duties of her new position. We always called him the "Little Prince" because he ran the house cats. Now, she's the "Little Princess" and she is undertaking her responsibilities with total dedication. God's hand is so firm and loving.

Sorry for your loss.

Iknow the feeling.

Lost my 14 year old Beagle last year.

They are in a better place now.

G-d bless

[British chick]

Yes, isn't it something to do with how al-qaeda has been hyped to make people fearful? I will be watching with interest. Thanks for the reminder, I had seen it advertised but had forgotten it was this week.

[ExSoldier]

They are in a better place now.

Of course, they're waiting for us by The Rainbow Bridge. You might look for that post to me a little bit above. That is very sweet and soothing, but will tend to produce tears.

Mossad1967, I have to tell you how much I appreciate your contributions to this forum. I know you're in a sensitive position and are fighting this WOT in a very real "here and now" nontheoretical sense. I always eagerly look for your posts. And I look for the analysis of others on this forum like MamaDearest, jerseygirl, Godzilla, callmejoe and all the rest. So many folks here on the TM deserve so much thanks. All make important contributions. I'm just so thankful, as we enter this last critical and anxious phase leading up to the elections that we have this TM family.
