The religion of peace. Notice how the article criticized the Chaldean Christians saying that they were well off and associated with the Crusades, as if it were their fault they were kidnapped and murdered. Also the article failed to mention that they were tortured before they were killed and that there has been continual violence against the Chaldean Catholics in Iraq, the Coptic Catholics in Egypt and Christians in Africa such as in Nigeria and Darfur.

Christianity taught them how to prosper and by both Muslim and Secularist Humanist logic, that's a great sin--doing well.

Urban II had it right.

It also reads as though the author is blaming coalition forces for Muslims torturing and murdering harmless priests.

FTA: "Rahho was the latest in a long line of Chaldean clerics to be abducted in Iraq since the US-led invasion in March 2003."

The article doesn't bother to say that there were Chaldean Christians in what is now Iraq 500 years before the birth of Mohammad. There is no reason at all to associate them with "Crusaders" or "The West" --- as if that would make any difference.

Besides, because of murders, massacres, and terror-driven emigration, the Chaldean Catholic Church is now so tiny that "a long line of Chaldean clerics abducted" means that their pastors have essentially been wiped out.

Dear God. Their blood cries out to heaven...

This horrible treatment is exactly why almost a million Jews fled Muslim nations in Africa and the Middle East to emigrate into Israel. Little known is that Syria wanted to take all Muslims fleeing Palestine, but King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia blocked that action using the Arab League.

Wasn’t a Chaldean Christian murdered in New Jersey last year? Or was that a Coptic Christian.
