Bring them here. Non-Mohammedan Arabs are a decent people.
Then they can run for political office, win, and they'll be the only politicians in the US that recognizes the threat that the Mohmmedan ideology poses to non-Mohammedans.
"Facing a June 30 deadline for transfer of power, a temporary constitution that reads,
in Article 7, that
Islam is the "Official Religion of the State,"
and the most recent humiliation for the community --
the failure to receive even one position on the Executive Council and only one ministry post, the Ministry of Emigration -- the Christians of Iraq are voting with their feet.
Geesh! I'd vote with my feet also.
As sympathetic as I am to their plight, I am truly at a loss to know what we can do about it short of give them asylum here. Even though our own Constitution prevents the establishment of a state religion, it could be amended to allow such with a sufficient super-majority. And that is exactly what is present in Iraq. So even if the establishment clause wasn't in the Iraqi constiutution presently it wouldn't be long before it was.
Robert, how many people in your communities are in the military or police forces being trained by the U.S. Armed Forces ?
The fact is that when the Ishmaelites say this is a HOLY war they really mean it. I don't think that many people get that. Having another Islamist state is the worst possible outcome, what a freaking joke.
A lot Christians sacrificed and a lot of Christian blood would then have been spilled for nothing. Perhaps, God will not look favorable upon us for this... We didn't send our best and brightest to die for the "religion of satan"
How can this nation be blessed by God if we do the opposite of His will and plans? I'm looking for judgement to come just about the time we think everything is running smoothly and on course...
Secular Syria will be next.

This is one of the reasons why we should have handed them a Constitution and said "Sign here...or else!"
how ironic.
Didn't W say that Iraq would determine what their freedom would look like? That we didn't set out to Americanize Iraq? This is disappointing, yes, but they have to find their own way. (Trying to be positive here...)
So there's like 1,000 of them and they want their own seat on the governing council?
Ironic twist. We were trying to free the people of Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam and now with a new gov't, Christians are fleeing Iraq.
This religious discrimination against Iraqi Christians needs to be nipped in the bud. State religions in practice are undemocratic.
If ever there was a time to set up a system in which these people could live safely within their own country it is now. What is the State Dept thinking.
I thought it was supposed to be a total of 6 million, including those who have already left for one reason or other.
Keep trying.
But we (or deserving corporations) will get oil in exchange - there will be a rapid free market privatization like in Russia. Few "reform minded oligarchs" will become owners together with Exon, Mobile etc... The natives will get a nice Islamic rule in a Saudi sryle. Who cares for the Christians?
Oil.
