Mosul, Iraq (AINA) -- On Monday, October 9, a prominent Assyrian (also known as Chaldean and Syriac) priest, Fr. Paulos Iskander (Paul Alexander), was kidnapped by an unknown Islamic group. His ransom was posted at either $250,000 or $350,000. This group had demanded that signs be posted once again on his church apologizing for the Pope's remarks as a condition for negotiations to begin.
Father Alexander was beheaded on Wednesday.
An email from a priest in Sweden, Adris Hanna, describes the Muslim terror campaign against the Christians in Iraq:
The Syriac-Orhtodox priest Paulos Iskandar was kidnapped this Monday, October 9, and beheaded today Wednesday October 11.
The Bishop in Mosul wrote me an email tonight and told me that the funeral will be held in Mosul tomorrow.
Christians are living a terrified life in Mosul and Baghdad. Several priests have been kidnapped, girls are being raped and murdered and a couple of days ago a fourteen year old boy was crucified in the Christian neighborhood Albasra.
I have also spoken to a group of nuns that were robbed and treated brutally on their way between Baghdad to Amman in Jordan.
The murder of father Paulus is the final blow for Christians, and now only hell is expected for the Christians of Iraq.
We the oriental Christians in Sweden and the rest of the Western world must protest against the genocide. We must do what we can to stop the rape, threats, hatred, robberies, murders… We must do something.
These latest murders continue an escalating pattern (1, 2, 3) of attacks against Iraq's Christians. On October fourth a bomb ripped through an Assyrian neighorhood, killing 9
Sorry for my typo (boy)in the title.
The slimey, whore-mongering religion of peace. They will die in their own feces and be crapped upon by pigs. This is nothing but a cult of death. They serve a false, phony, plastic, dead, pitiful, impotent bogus god. May they all die horrific burning deaths.
Lego apologizes to Muslims over bogus box set image. Kill them all.
They could enlist in the Armed Forces of a country still willing to fight for freedom or convince Sweden to do so.
So this is how they prove that they aren't violent - cut heads off and murder nuns.
This is what we're up against. If the politically correct mainstream media were serious about reporting the facts, this would have made the nightly news.
Radical Islam is a bloodthirsty death cult and will destroy everyone and everything in its path if it isn't stopped in our lifetimes.
"I'd much rather see every one of these terroristic, persecuting Sauls become transformed into Pauls."
Your sentiment is admirable. But what is the liklihood of this happening? Saul/Paul was never a Muslim.
This is what we're up against. If the politically correct mainstream media were serious about reporting the facts, this would have made the nightly news.
I wish someone could explain to me how the hell the leftists in our country can remain sympathetic to these Muslims, with story after story like this one coming out.
They are brain dead and morally bankrupt.
More and more each day it looks like it may be necessary to wipe Islam from the face of the earth. Both good and bad Muslims (yes, I used upper case this time, but may never give them that respect in posting again).
In the fwiw department, i42 hasn't been capitalized by many here since 10-23-98.

Fr. Paulos Iskander (Paul Alexander) is a True and Holy New Martyr!
The Jews of Paul's time were happy to stone people to death, to crucify them, and to kill them in other creative ways. Saul/Paul himself stood by, helpfully holding coats, when St. Stephen was stoned to death.
Don't sell Paul's conversion short.
This degree of perverse brutality simply does not resonate with democrats. They want negotiation and anger management techniques to be adopted. These muslims will stop at nothing to bring forth world domination. I think Bush sees and understands this even though he says islam is a religion of peace, I do not believe he believes that. If Congress goes to the dems, they will unfund the war and will atrit our military and it will be Viet Nam all over again. But this time the endiginous population will not stay in their country, but will expand and continue the march toward world domination. The democrat thinks in terms of arbitration and islam thinks in terms of termination of their opponents. I wonder why I see this so clearly and they don't see it at all.

Ping.
I'd be surprised if my brother didn't know this priest. :-(
I just hope that I can live long enough to see it happen. My only regret is that I'm much too old to participate in the fight.
When will these idiots grow up? Islamism is a form of arrested development.
