Fasting from sunrise to sunset is a struggle for Muslims during this month of Ramadan. The month will present a more dangerous struggle for non-Muslims in Iraq, against whom Islamic terrorists promise to increase their violence. On Thursday, October 12, Syrian Orthodox Metropolitan of Mosul, Saliba Chamoun, buried one of his priests, the latest victim of violence targeting Christians and other minorities in Iraq during Ramadan. Father Boulos Iskander had been kidnapped the previous Monday by an unknown Islamic extremist group. Family and church authorities negotiated with the abductors, who demanded $350,000 in ransom, but later promised to reduce the amount to $40,000 if Pope Benedict XVIs reference to historical Islamic violence was publicly condemned.
The ransom was raised and paid. St. Epharims parishioners dutifully posted 30 large signs on walls around the city repudiating the Popes statements. They awaited word of Fr. Iskanders promised release. On Wednesday in the Tahir City District, a mile from the Mosul city center, the priests body was found. Fr. Iskanders severed head lay atop his chest. His severed arms and legs were placed around his head.
The same day as Fr. Iskanders kidnapping, the leader of the Mandaean religious community (followers of John the Baptist), Sheikh Raad Mutar Saleh, was assassinated in Suweira, 35 miles southeast of Baghdad. ....... Western media outlets have been conditioned to call the Muslim month of fasting the holy month of Ramadan. For many Iraqis, especially ethnic and religious minorities, Ramadan has been less than blessed this year. Murder, intimidation, rape, torture, and other forms of violence have increased during this holy month. Hope in Iraqs future cannot be found in the destruction of minority faith and ethnic communities.

Duplicitous, lying, dishonorable disgusting sick viscious ba$tards! >:(
They can't eat, drink coffee, tea or water, smoke cigarettes, or anything other than breathe.
No prohibitions on murder and torture though.
Maybe if the death cultists ate something, they would act like decent human beings.
Thanks for the link !
No, they would simply become well-fed death cultists.
Thanks for the laugh.
This is one reason why the death cultists have to be kept out of civilized countries. What a joke! none of our spineless politicians have any thought about doing this.
