I didn't make my point well - what I was trying to express is that the Iraqis acknowledge that Christianity was there first. And they respect that.
I say this to get points across to the "all Muslims are evil terrorists" crowd.

I'm afraid you have gone native and are ignoring the obvious: the number of Iraqis who acknowledge that fact are so minuscule as to be irrelevant.
No, not all muslims are evil (actively or by acquiescence). Just 99.995% of them.

When this church gets rebuilt and I am proven wrong, let's talk. I will humbly admit the error of my ways.
(I am not holding my breath.)

What a rude, insulting, ignorant, uninformed and stupid thing to say.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

Personally, I'd be ashamed if I were you.

Thank God I'm not.
