(Evangelical) Christian Leader Shot by Muslim Extremists (Iraq)
International Christian Concern ^ | 11/04/2004 | ICC

Posted on 11/04/2004 10:48:33 PM PST by miltonim

An evangelical Iraqi Christian leader was shot last week by radical Muslims, according to reports received recently by Christian Aid.

He sustained two bullet wounds to his shoulder and one to his leg.

Thankfully, he is alive and recovering from the attack.

The leader is known to an indigenous ministry supported by Christian Aid in Iraq.

Apparently, he had been warned by extremists to take down the cross on the top of the building where he regularly conducted services and to stop leading Christian meetings there.

He ignored the demands.

Considering the hatred, violence and wanton devastation caused by followers of Islam, I wish for a Muslim-free world.

Conversion is difficult in "holy" Muslim lands, because the "holy" Koran calls for the murder of anyone who converts from Islam, and this call is very frequently carried out, even on little children.

Oh... heck... im starting to think that this religion is closely similar with the Shiva worshippers in India... They're lucky, in the United States people still respect them as humans...

Heard a story tonight from a man that sat next to a priest from the midwest. His parish included many Christians from Iraq, other middle-east areas.

It told of a Christian family being essentially forced to convert to diabolical islam, thusly:

In front of the family, the muslims shot the father, and said if the rest didn't convert, it would happen to them, too.

I have no reason to distrust this story. Put that on the list of what the world faces, from islam.

Plilippines, India, Sudan, Israel, Russia, USA.

Are you talking about the bloodthirsty Thugee cult of Kali?

Yes. Very similar to the deadly world-wide disease of Islam.
