MOSUL (Reuters) -- Gunmen have killed two Christian sisters and wounded their mother in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, which has seen thousands of Christians flee their homes because of violence in recent weeks, police said.

Some 2,000 families, an estimated 12,000 people, fled Mosul after a campaign of threats and attacks against the Christian community last month, although many have since returned home, the United Nations refugee agency says.

In the latest incident, gunmen killed one woman outside her home, then stormed the house, killing her sister and wounding their mother.

Its sad when Christian our killed. But they plan to do the same here. First take away our bible and declaire it hate speech. Then free speech in general by the fairness doctrine. Then the right to bear arms will be infringe upon. Then what you see in Mosul, Iraq they will do here to us christian. It only a matter of time. We must stand up and fight or fall for any thing.

Iraq under Saddam was brutal place for political opponents and any threats to the regime.

But at least the Islamic nutjobs were kept under control and persecution of Christians - if it existed, was sporadic and did not receive support from the government.

Now that Saddam is gone, Muslims there are acting as Muslims generally do when they don't have a military strongman standing over them - IRRATIONALLY.

The U.S. should grant religious asylum to all Christians from Iraq - or any other Islamic paradise for that matter, who wish to immigrate here.

As soon as U.S. forces are removed from Iraq, the central government there will collapse into the customary chaos, violence, and religious intolerance characteristic of all Muslim “democracies”.

Which is all the MORE reason that, when we pull out, we should pull out ALL our troops, and not leave some small token military force there which only serves the function of being a better target for the customary attacks by Islamic radicals.

The jihad has been going on for 1400 years and fueled by an unholy alliance between the insatiable appetite for oil trillions of dollars in jizya tax - muslim satanists have managed to almost completely exterminate the Christisn holdouts.

Pretty typical for Mosul. It’s pretty anti-Christian. Baghdad was far more tolerant, even in the worst areas.
