Arabo, who is a prominent Chaldean-American businessman and met with other leaders of his community in the White House last week, has called upon American political leaders to grant asylum to about 300,000 Christians fleeing the ISIS invasion.
"The world hasn't seen this kind of atrocity in generations," he told CNN. He's mostly correct. Although genocides have happened repeatedly throughout history, including famous genocides in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, as well as Cambodia, the genocide perpetrated against Christians and other minorities is extreme, partly because it is being gleefully publicized.
The terrorists who have invaded Mosul and other ancient Christian communities in Syria and Iraq have made music videos of themselves murdering civilians and captured soldiers. They are literally enjoying the act of killing and the fear and suffering experienced by others. This sadism may be the purest manifestation of evil witnessed since the Rape of Nanking

I want to hunt that monster down and kill him myself.
I feel the same anger toward the obama voters that you do. I have let my anger show with some family members who voted for him twice.
These were only anti obama emails that I sent to them because they live out of my state but I am no longer trying to hide my feelings about this.
Nor do they care that this is happening.
Impaling living people with poles up their rectum fits into that category.
So, are you implying Vlad was evil, that he should not have done what he did to turn back the evil satanic muslim hoards?
If you were in his place how would you have stopped them?
Vlad was a great Hero because he indeed stopped the muslim hoards from taking over all of Europe.
My heart breaks for these children.

On August 6, we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration, when Christ ascended Mount Tabor with three of His disciples and was transfigured before their eyes. Shining brightly with the light of His divine nature, Christ spoke with Moses and Elijah, who appeared alongside Him.
Despite the importance of this event, the Feast of the Transfiguration was not among the earliest of the Christian feasts. It was celebrated in Asia starting in the fourth or fifth century and spread throughout the Christian East in the centuries following. The Catholic Encyclopedia notes that it wasn't commonly celebrated in the West until the tenth century. To celebrate the great Christian victory at the Siege of Belgrade in 1456, during which the Muslim Turks were routed and the Islamic advance into Europe was halted, Pope Callixtus III elevated the Transfiguration to a feast of the universal Church and established August 6 as the date of its celebration
While an important event in Christ's life, the Transfiguration was added to the Christian calendar relatively late, and few people realize that it was not declared a universal feast of the Church until August 6, 1456. Even fewer know that it owes its place on the calendar, in part, to the courageous actions of Dracula.
Yes, Dracula—or, more precisely, Vlad III the Impaler, who is better known to history by the dreaded name. Pope Callixtus III added the Feast of the Transfiguration to the calendar to celebrate the important victory of the Hungarian nobleman Janos Hunyadi and the elderly priest St. John of Capistrano at the Siege of Belgrade in July 1456. Breaking the siege, their troops reinforced the Christians at Belgrade, the Muslim Turks were routed, and Islam was stopped from advancing further into Europe.
With the exception of St. John of Capistrano, Hunyadi could find no significant allies to accompany him to Belgrade, but he did enlist the help of young prince Vlad, who agreed to guard the passes into Rumania, thus cutting off the Turk. Without his aid, the battle might not have been won. Vlad was a brutal man whose actions earned him immortality as the fictional vampire, but some Orthodox Christians venerate him as a saint for confronting the Islamic threat to Christian Europe. As we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration, we might at least offer a prayer for his soul.
I see what you mean.
The chechens are fond of drugging children before killing them and they are the ones in charge at ISIS right now.
I saw the pics and I say they were sleeping from drugs.
No way. The one with the pink pants and red shirt is holding his head up and back.
The one with the black poants and red shirt is looking at the man in the striped shirt.
I don’t see any blood on any of the three leaning against the rock.
There’s no way any of these kids are unconscious. Again, these are small boys, potential converts and sex toys. Girls, they just slash away.
I think he needs to do a field study.
Where are those (persons?) that screamed objections when the Gainesville Preacher, Terry Jones, said he wanted to burn the “Koran” ?
The list of those is endless but where are those same(persons?) today.
NYT, Daily Mail,UK and all the other overly righteous Left Wing Media and the Hollywood Puke, are absent today?
Why are those _____ not saying anything!
I posted what appeared to be a beheading video to my Facebook page about an hour or so ago. I couldn’t get into the actual video for some reason, so I thought the link didn’t work, but the picture was enough; although, it wasn’t super clear. A cousin of mine replied to the post initially that it was propaganda. I don’t know if she was being sarcastic. She then went on to say in a separate post that the video was sickening I went to reply to her propaganda post of all the things that the Muslims have done that weren’t propaganda including acts in her home country of England and her adopted country of Spain. When I hit reply, my entire post with multiple recent news stories about what ISIS is doing to Christians, Sunnis, Yazidis was gone. I think I was reported. Maybe by my cousin. Or could it have been the original link that I shared the video from was delted thus deleting my entire post. I think I was turned in, though. I then looked at a link from Alan West on Facebook and he posted a similar story including a picture with a baby that had guns pointed at him/her. People on that thread were saying different things...some that the picture wasn’t real at all. Some that it had been around for a couple of years. I like to deal in facts, but sometimes that gets hard on the internet...even when relying on actual news reports as we know how slanted they can be. So are all these pictures that look pretty darned real of children with their heads off fake? Are people exaggerating what’s going on.
In a separate post, I posted just off the top of my head (no horrible pun intended) atrocities that have been perpetrated by Muslims that are not propaganda, but I’m sure there are some people out there that would deny those, too, just like they deny the Holocaust. I’m fed up with everything right now. I don’t like to be censored. I don’t mind being told when I’m wrong, but I don’t like the tendency of people in the West shielding themselves from anything that doesn’t bring them pleasure. Pleasure is good. I enjoy it. I seek it. But I’m really tired of people that deny reality...that want to live in la la land that everything in this world is just peachy keen and that Muslims, deep down, are just like you and I.
This is what I posted on my page after I was deleted:
Shalhevet Pass. 9/11. Bali. Daniel Pearl. Madrid. Tali Hatuel, her unborn baby, and four daughters. Nick Berg. Beslan. Fort Hood. 5 members of the Fogel family. Benghazi. Boston Marathon. Lee Rigby. Just off the top of my head without even trying. Not propaganda.
These are all things that I remembered...things I didn’t have to look up. I’m sure I could have thought of more The only thing I had too look up were the exact dates so I could put everything in chronological order.
Maybe I should post this as a separate post on here, but I’m really not in the mood for judgmental people on here telling me I shouldn’t be on Facebook in the first place. I might say something that gets me deleted.
If anyone is on Facebook and would like to friend me, send me a private FR mail. I need more like minded people on my friend’s list.
P.S. Sorry for any spelling errors, lack of punctuation, grammar, etc. in the preceding post. Typed it quickly. I’m pretty angry right now.
You know what? I was wrong. I saw this same pic in another news feature about dehydration of children on that mountain.
I was referring to your analogy of Vlad, who - having been raised in the household of the Turkish sultan - knew that to terrify the terrorists, he had to outdo them in savagery.
