It's one of the vexing things about reporting from Iraq that the Western media is utterly ignorant about any religious distinctions finer than Christian/Muslim or Sunni/Shi'ite.

Do you have a new martyr to add to your calendar, or does the (Nestorian) Assyrian Church of the East? One can't tell from the report.

It really doesn't matter. The child's martyrdom makes him a saint for all of us.

I DON'T CARE If he was a Nestorian Christian or an Orthodox Christian or a Catholic Christian or a Coptic Christian or a Protestant or an Evangelist or Baptist, the fact remains that the MUSLIMS killed a cHRISTIAN because he was Christian. Our little differences mean NOTHING in the face of that
