It would appear that al-Qaeda has just started the next Crusade.

I'm sure this will make the headlines of the msm, just like all of the other attacks on Christians in iraq and other mooslim countries.

joyless beyhar and whoopi goldberg, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

I’m certain Amana-war-whore will say how those heathen ba$tards taunted the koranimal community into attacking them while hiding in their fortified positions.

Then, Another-Jo’-lie, will make a movie about some poor, uneducated koranimal being the victim of rape by one of the deceased victims in the church & she’ll adopt the inbred, retard koranimal in front of the press who’ll be frothing at the mouth to know how many damned people died in the church.

A Christian pastor says he will burn the Koran. The whole world is at his doorstep, protesting. Coverage is universal. All Muslims and Christians are up in arms.

But, a church full of people attending a Mass are attacked and held hostage by Islamic factions...and not a peep from the liberal media, other Christians, Catholics, and no one gets upset.

What a devil run and controlled world this has become.

At least 37 people have been killed after Iraqi security forces stormed a Catholic church in central Baghdad to free dozens of hostages being held by gunmen there, security sources say.

Twenty-five hostages were among the dead, along with seven members of the Iraqi security forces and at least five of the attackers, they told the BBC.

We have been most unfortunate that the last 3 Administrations have not dealt with the Saudi problem.

It is a Saudi that is building the bombs found on the cargo planes.

The present occupier of the WH is a crypto-muslim and as such will not act against his muzzie brothers.

When he is replaced, the Saudis must be dealt with.

They control everything, Mecca is in Saudi, the hijackers of 9/11 is Saudi, Bin laden is Saudi, and they have their hand and money in most of the terrorist groups.

The nation must be destabilized, their oil fields appropriated as reparations for attacks against the United States, and their ruling class eliminated.

Then begins the work of force feeding these subhuman animals beer and pork rinds.

Unleash an army of Hooters girls, and westernize these sons of bitches.

And make those who don't get with the program get to see Allah a lot sooner than they expected.

This problem needs to be solved once and for all.

That’s weird. I had a dream last night that I was at mass, and two muslims entered the church from two different doors, wearing maroon berets, black outfits, and firing what appeared to be automatic crossbows. Of course, everyone in the congregation was unarmed. I took off after the closest archer with my single hand operated CRKT folder. When I got close I made the mistake of throwing it at him, and I missed. That is when the dream ended.
