Iraqi Christian Persecution Continues - Where is the Uproar?

.
Our brave Iraqi brothers and sisters are being persecuted and murdered! Where is the uproar? Where is the liberal media now? Where is Ed Asner? Will Steven Spielberg make a motion picture about their plight?

No group has been persecuted over time like the Christians. We have been fed to the lions, burned at the stake, mass murdered, starved to death in the millions, murdered en masse with machetes, and more !

Please join me in offering our Masses and rosaries for their protection!

Two killed in Iraq attacks on Christian homes

30 December 2010
Two people have died and 14 injured in a series of attacks on Christian homes in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

The homemade bomb attacks began at 1930 local time (1630 GMT) and took place in six locations in the capital.

The worst was in the district of al-Ghadir, where the deaths occurred. No-one has admitted carrying out the attacks.

It comes after a deadly attack on a Baghdad cathedral in October, which killed more than 50 people.

Militants took over the Our Lady of Salvation church during Sunday Mass, demanding the release of al-Qaeda prisoners.

Two people were killed and 20 wounded, all of them Christians, according to the Ministry of the Interior. The bombs were placed near the homes of at least 14 Christian families around the city, and four bombs were defused before they could explode.

Christians have been flooding out of the country since the siege of Our Lady of Salvation, a Syrian Catholic church, in October that left nearly 60 people dead, including two priests. Many Muslim clerics and worshipers offered support to Christians after the siege. The Islamic State of Iraq, an extremist group affiliated with Al Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the attack, and on Dec. 22 it promised more on its Web site...”

Series of Baghdad bombings target Christians, police say

BAGHDAD - A series of at least six coordinated bombings in and around Baghdad on Thursday night appeared to target homes of Christians, police said. Three people were killed, including two Christians, and at least a dozen more were wounded.

The attacks began after dark with two near-simultaneous explosions and continued for about two hours. The deadliest blast occurred in central Baghdad in an area where some of the city's last remaining Christians are known to live.

Assyrians and other types of Christians comprise a slice of Iraq's most ancient heritage, and their small minority has been under siege for years. According to unofficial estimates, the Christian population in the country has shrunk by more than half since the beginning of the war...”
