What would they do to JESUS?
Militant "Muslims" seek to appeal to Christians by invoking the ancient blood libel of Jews as Christ-killers. It is not Jews, however, but militant "Muslims" who persecute and even kill Christians in the 21st century, and it is pretty easy to imagine what they would do to Jesus.
...Two young Iranian women, Maryam Rostampour and Marzieh Amirizadeh Esmaeilabad, suffered physical abuse and torture in Iran's notorious Evin Prison because they converted to Christianity. Iran had in fact threatened to put them to death, much as the depraved Roman Emperor Nero fed Christians to lions to entertain his mob. Iran finally decided to spare these women's lives, but it first subjected them to torture and physical abuse in an effort to get them to repudiate their beliefs.
...The Community Organizer in Chief, however, still thinks he can negotiate with this murderous regime, which has stated openly its intentions to use nuclear weapons on its neighbors and even the United States--noting a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad event in which a glass ball with an American flag shattered after being dropped through an hourglass.

Unfortunately, Israel is not very good at propaganda and public relations; the only appropriate cartoon I have seen involves the terrorist takeover of the Church of the Nativity. The cartoon, by Oleg, shows Yasser Arafat holding a knife to the throat of the Virgin Mary.
Maybe American cartoonists are too afraid to offend "Muslims" (there was nothing about Nidal Hasan's cry of "Allahu akbar!" while he gunned down our men and women in uniform that I did not understand) to do the same. Genuine Muslims should meanwhile denounce this sort of thing unequivocally, just as Christians and Jews denounce evils and atrocities that depraved individuals commit in the name of those respective religions.
I dread to know what happened to them :(
you'll see......
any time... nice and loud.....
Weakling.
How vile. Yet the American left is far more outraged about Bush pouring water over people, or Iraqi prisoners being forced to put panties on their heads.
You would think that stories like this would have the feminist up in arms - yet they always remain silent. Apparently their desire to maintain political links outweighs their desire to speak up for women.
Prayer to Our Lady Help of Christians:
Supplication to the Immaculata
Queen of the most holy Rosary, Help of Christians, refuge of the human race, victorious in all the battles of God, we prostrate ourselves in supplication before thy throne, in the sure hope of obtaining mercy and of receiving grace and timely aid in our present calamities, not through any merits of our own on which we do not rely, but only through the immense goodness of thy mother’s Heart. In thee and in thy Immaculate Heart, at this grave hour of human history, do we put our trust; to thee we consecrate ourselves, not only with all of Holy Church, which is the mystical body of thy Son Jesus, and which is suffering in so many of her members, being subjected to manifold tribulations and persecutions, but also with the whole world, torn by discords, agitated with hatred, the victim of its own iniquities.
Be thou moved by the sight of such material and moral degradation, such sorrows, such anguish, so many tormented souls in danger of eternal loss! Do thou, O Mother of mercy, obtain for us from God a Christ-like reconciliation of the nations, as well as those graces which can convert the souls of men in an instant, those graces which prepare the way and make certain the long desired coming of peace on earth. O Queen of peace, pray for us, and grant peace unto the world in the truth, the justice, and the charity of Christ. Above all, give us peace in our hearts, so that the kingdom of God may spread its borders in the tranquillity of order . Accord thy protection to unbelievers and to all those who lie within the shadow of death; cause the Sun of Truth to rise upon them; may they be enabled to join with us in repeating before the Savior of the world:
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
Give peace to the nations that are separated from us by error or discord, and in a special manner to those peoples who profess a singular devotion toward thee; bring them back to Christ’s one fold, under the one true Shepherd. Obtain full freedom for the holy Church of God; defend her from her enemies; check the ever-increasing torrent of immorality; arouse in the faithful a love of purity, a practical Christian life, and an apostolic zeal, so that the multitude of those who serve God may increase in merit and in number. Ask thy Son to send us holy priests and in numbers to serve the needs of the Catholic faithful. Be thou the mother of priests and seminarians, keeping them pure, devoted to thee and thy Son, maintain them as men set apart and exclusive for serving the Holy Trinity and thee. Do not let the torrents of worldly woes touch them. And give us a more tender love for thy Immaculate Heart so that we may draw closer to thee and to them by praying for them faithfully.
O Mary, Mother most pure, through whose compassion we have received the holiest of priests; O glorious Patriarch, St. Joseph, perfect model of cooperation with the Divine call; O holy priests, who in Heaven compose a choice choir about the Lamb of God: obtain for us many goof vocations in order that the Lord’s flock, through the support and government of vigilant shepherds, may attain yo the enjoyment of the most delightful pastures of eternal happiness.
Finally, even as the Church and all mankind were once consecrated to the Heart of thy Son Jesus, because He was for all those who put their hope in Him an inexhaustible source of victory and salvation, so in like manner do we consecrate ourselves forever to thee also and to thy Immaculate Heart, O Mother of us and Queen of the world; may thy love and patronage hasten the day when the kingdom of God shall be victorious and all the nations, at peace with God and with one another, shall call thee blessed and intone with thee, from the rising of the sun to its going down, the everlasting “Magnificat” of glory, of love, of gratitude to the Heart of Jesus, in which alone we can find truth, life, and peace.
