(AINA) -- A Christian bishop received a threatening letter written by Ansar al-Islam, a Kurdish Muslim group affiliated with al-Qaeda in Iraq. The letter ordered the Christians to leave Iraq en masse and stated it is sending a final warning to Christians in Baghdad and other Iraqi governorates to leave Iraq permanently.

True.
Then we should do an exchange; all Iraqi muslims back to the hellhole, take their comfy US digs, and let the Iraqi Christian refugees move in.
They could also have instant jobs picking produce and cleaning hotels etc.

GOD bless you and be safe.

Are we “done” with these people yet?
Christians from all over the world go over to this hellhole and liberate these Muzzies from Sad-ass Hussein... sacrificing life, limb & treasure and THIS is how they show their appreciation?
Tell ya what...we’ll bring all our troops home along with all the Christians & Jews who want to leave and we’ll send all the Muzzies living in America back to the Middle East. Deal?
The Left supports this. They claim we are interfering with their “religious sovereignty” with some Iraqis practicing Christianity.
Bbut haven’t we been told that “Islam is a religion of peace”?
“Where is Tariq Aziz ? A Christian who worked for Sadem .”
According to WIKI:
Mikhail Yuhanna (AKA Tariq Aziz), (born April 28, 1936 in Tel Keppe) was the Foreign Minister (1983 – 1991) and Deputy Prime Minister (1979 – 2003) of Iraq, and a close advisor of former President Saddam Hussein for decades. Their association began in the 1950s, when both were Ba’ath party activists, while the party was still officially banned.
Since Saddam Hussein was both Prime Minister and President of Iraq, Aziz often played the role of Iraq’s de facto head of government. Because of security concerns, Saddam rarely left Iraq, and Aziz in turn would often represent Iraq at high-level diplomatic summits. In December 2002, Aziz called the arms inspection a “hoax” and war “inevitable.”[citation needed] What the United States wanted, he averred, was not “regime change” in Iraq but rather “region change.” He summed up the Bush Administration’s reasons for war against Iraq tersely: “oil and Israel.”[2] Aziz’s Chaldean Catholic faith made him as the Iraqi government’s only high-ranking Christian government official.[citation needed]
Aziz is currently in prison in Camp Cropper in western Baghdad[3], at the direction of the United States government. He is on trial.[4]
Yes, Christians were much better off under Saddam than they are now.
For reasons that only GWB understands, we basically threw Iraqi Christians to the wolves, and supported Islam as a part of the new Iraqi Constitution.
Allowing these ancient Christian communities to be destroyed, but then turning around and proselytizing with some newer Western version of Christianity is --in my opinion-- ethically questionable.
Al-Queda has been defeated on the battlefield in Iraq; and knows the only weapon it has left is propaganda such as this - which is directed more toward the U. S. public than Christans in Iraq.
Unfortunately, all too many in the public are ready to brainlessly lap this up - as the responses to this post show.
Watch your 6, brother.
