“The Muslims of Daura are calling on Christians to come back,” the Chaldean bishop of Baghdad, Monsignor Andraos Abouna, told Newsmax in an exclusive interview in Beirut this week.

Yea OK, and as soon as the coalition troops leave things will get even worse for them. Nation building with Muslims is not worth the cost.

Again, Anne Coulter was right about converting the peoples of the middle to Christianity. Islam is not compatible with a civilized world.

Ironically, Ann Coulter supported the very policies in Iraq which have led to the massive depopulation of Christians since the Shi’ites took power there.

The alternative is worse.

If we don't civilize these beasts the terror will come to our shores. They follow a religion of the devil and it is their religious duty to convert, or kill all non-believers. If representative govts can be established, the rule of law and freedom of speech we have a chance to bring them out of the darkness of islam. If we don't succeed expect to see more mosques built here.

You know what I’m thinking, R, so instead of posting my usual rant about Bush’s legacy, I’ll just ask:

Do you suppose he’s called “Abouna Abouna” in his diocese? :)

I know what Islam is and I agree with you on that. But the rest is never going to happen. Islam is not reforming and they are voting terrorist groups like Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood into office. The Iraqi govt has offically shut the Christians out of the govt and Islam is in their constitution. Afghanistan and Iraq are just Islamic countries that have cost us lives and drained us completely financially. We cannnot afford this fantasy of some kind of “moderate” Islam coming to the rescue it is not happening. On top of it our govt is clueless when it comes to the even bigger threat, and that is political Islam. The terror is here and more and more Mosques are being built. There is little point in fighting them over there and then letting them set up shop over here. We are heading in the same direction as the UK in regards to Islam. We need to end their immigration.

No it is not and nothing we do will change that. If Muslims want to change it is up to them.

I don't expect the devils religion to moderate. I do believe in the power of God to use Christians to convert these beasts.

I agree, but we don't have the political strength to do it.

Just one example, I was talking to a friend this week about islam and what they believe (he's jewish) and his response was well I know some Arabs and they all seem to be nice family men.

We certainly need to fight on the home front, but that doesn't mean we can't establish a beach head in the enemy's home territory.

Are you better off fighting the enemy of civility in their territory, or in your backyard?

I understand your point, but I do not think that the war was worth the cost. Also our govt is not even close to realizing how big a threat political Islam is to us here at home. Obama is our Labour Party.

I believe that, and this goes for the entire West. That if we do not end Muslim immigration that eventually we will lose. As they never stop pushing.

We have bottled up these beasts in their native territories. We have disrupted their financial networks. We have killed a great many of them. We have not had another attack on our territory since 9-11-2001!

We have established a beach head in their native land. Representative govt is messy, especially when it is being tried for the first time.

Also our govt is not even close to realizing how big a threat political Islam is to us here at home.

You're right. I suspect that muslims were behind the 550 Billion that was withdrawn from money mkts triggering the financial crisis. McCain was in the lead at that point. Now they've gotten who they want in the presidency.

Now Jews are wondering why there is more support for Hamas than Israel.

...if we do not end Muslim immigration that eventually we will lose.

You might be too young to remember Jimmy Carter. He created a lot of this mess. The American people woke up and one of our greatest Presidents was elected. Ronald Reagan crushed the USSR. He set us on a path of economic growth that lasted for about 27 years with only 2 minor recessions. Have faith, if we trust the LORD it's going to work out. We are only in the first act of this mess.

Americans need to return to the masculine belief in American Exceptionalism and live it.

I suspect it was computer trading software that is programmed to sell when certain market signals occur.

I know and that is great. But we both know that they do not have to attack us to take over. They use our freedoms against us and if political Islam is not eventually addressed we are done. The future will tell.

I have read that and it does seem plausible. It would be nice to know one way or another.

"The Daura neighborhood of Baghdad has been the scene of mass persecution of Christians since the U.S.-led liberation of Iraq in 2003. Churches have been fire-bombed, homes torched, and Christians ordered by Muslim groups to leave their property and flee for their lives or convert to Islam."

But this can't be. Didn't Dear Leader once pronounce his edict that "Islam is a Religion of Peace"??

The fools of the New World Order "liberated" NOTHING from this world.
