Muslims in Iraq entered a Catholic church in Iraq, and when they saw a statue of the Virgin Mary they destroyed it because they deemed it an idol Muslims worship the anti-Christ.

Corrected.

Christians have been at war with Muslims for 1400 years. The Muslims have done this type of thing many times when Christians forget their strength.

Father Jonathan Morris on Facebook asked us to pray for the Iraqi Christians.

I think Rivera is the guy who also courageously revealed the existence of the giant supercomputer beneath the Vatican with all the Protestant names and locations. Sadly he was eventually slain by albino monk assassins bent on pink-eyed revenge for divulging such unholy secrets of Rome.

Do not trust the judgement of the followers of Mad Mo.

Many FR members would do the same.

Idols of Mary are idols, but were I or anyone else to destroy one, faithful Catholics would just make a replacement. The goal should be for them to repent of worshipping idols in the first place. That takes persuasion and education rather than just brute force, something that thugs don’t have the patience for.

Protestants did the same. Protestants both in Europe and in what is now the US attacked statues of the Virgin and the saints and also destroyed altars and churches. There are Catholic monasteries in Spain that are still doing reparation on behalf of the English and the Napoleonic French for the devastation that they wrought on the churches in various attacks and invasions.

Protestantism, like Islam, was essentially Arianism in a new garb. Islam was more destructive because it combined with pagan religions and tribalism. Protestantism usually combined with the State or, as in the case of the Calvinists, wanted to be the State.

And in addition, about 700 years separated the two, so society had changed and paganism no longer existed on a large scale.

Arianism may seem pretty abstract and innocent, but...as they say, ideas have consequences.

They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no god save Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)! (Surah 9:29-31)

See? Even the Muslims recognize that we do not worship the same God as they do!

I’ll pass on this one.

So Islam is based on the false arian teachings. Amazing.

In other words, stand up against false prophets and teachings.

Technically, it is an idol. But those muslims need to be defeated.
