Horrifying Persecution of Christians

Little reported in the coverage of the Iraq war is the internal war by Arab and Muslim islamists on the Assyrian Christian community.  They are Assyrians, speaking Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, sometimes called Syriacs or Chaldeans.   

This is what the Islamists or Muslim militants, righteous and violent murdering gangs of men, have done to the Iraqi Christians since the Iraq war began.

They have bombed 28 churches.
They have murdered hundreds of Christians.
They have beheaded a priest in Mosul.
They have crucified a 14-year-old Christian boy in Basra.
They have kidnapped a woman's baby in Baghad and, when she couldn't pay the ransom, they returned her child, beheaded, roasted and served on a mound of rice.

Read Ed West's We must not let this ancient Church slide into oblivion 
just to be aware of what's happening.

From Palestine, to Iraq, to Iran and Pakistan, Christians who have  lived in the middle East are leaving for fear of their lives in ever increasing numbers.
