Comments on: Vicar: Dire Times For Iraq's Christians

Tells 60 Minutes Most Of Iraq's Christians Have Fled Or Been Killed

The US is at fault because they destroyed the order of society and turned the country into chaos. If you don''t believe me, just read the article above you, you dumb retarded moron, use your brains for something other than drinking, watching porn , football, playstation and going to church so you don''t end up like a hobo like many of those that are coming back from the war are going to and already are. Read the part where the minister is saying that they were better under Saddam than under Bush, it''s not that hard.

[incog-nito]

The vicar forgot one important detail: The U.S. soldiers'' mission was to protect the oil ministry and the oil fields. Not the museums, not the ammunition depots, and certainly not the Christian churches.

Yes, The difference is due to the hatred and murderous crimes of extremist Muslims.
How is this the fault of the US?
This murderous Muslim behavior is being imported from Iran, Syria and Sandia Arabia.

Or do you think these acts of Islamic barbarism justified? If so, how?

[feelfree1]

Under the Saddam regime, these Iraqi Christians were alive.

Under the Bush regime, they are dead.

See the difference?

Dan9111, this is the sad truth--we have wingnuts operating on both the right and the left at the moment, and they just seek to wage war on different groups. Most people thought the war on Iraq was a mistake when it was first announced, but no one seems to notice that the rights of we the people are being attacked by the left.

Just as I was amazed that Bush would join his buddies Pat Robertson and James Dobson and turn against science in favor of cultural myths, I also was amazed to learn that Obama wants to ban Americans from owning most popular firearms, clearly undercutting the second amendment. He''s further to the left than H. Clinton!

Ignorant extremists among both the Republicans and Democrats seek to destroy rights guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. From Adrian Fenty in DC to Mike Rounds in SD, ignorance and fascim abound.

We lose no matter who wins the upcoming election unless some of the candidates wake up and read the Constitution.

True liberals don''''t want to go to war remember they are trying to get us out. But the wing nuts are keeping us their but hey don''''t worry soon it will be election time and a new Democratic President will be there to get us out.

Wrong. Even the true liberals (who are "better" than the media/academia ones) are just like the war-hawks. THEY WANT TO WAGE WAR. They want to do it against their own citizens however, by way of police instead of military. The "true liberals" of America are not allowing disagreement with their views, because they will resort to guns to get their way (ie. the IRS,etc.).

The only ideology which is right is one of total nonviolence. Whenever a liberal opposes the a foreign war, s/he is standing in the blood of socialist programs. Both sides are equally guilty of unnecessary warfare and will surely burn in he11 if there is such a place.

You mention Jehovas Witness. I thought we were discussing Christians.

Jehovah''s Witness is based on Christianity

Okay - I was mistaken, looks like some progress IS being made ...

"The number of U.S. troops killed in November remained at a low not seen since March 2006 on Thursday, a respite from years of bloodshed that forced some 2 million Iraqis to flee and prompted the buildup of nearly 30,000 more American forces."

[bobacorn]

Just a few minutes ago I read a news item with the following headline: "Military hailing poll that says Americans see progress in Iraq"

The poll says that 48 percent of Americans believe progress is being made in Iraq. That is up from 30 percent in Febuary.

This just goes to show what a year of endless reporting on OJ, Britney, Lindsey Lohan, and Anna Nicole can do to our perception of reality.

Go to sleep America. I don''t want to wake you up from your dreamworld by telling you that things are just as bad as ever.

But if you don''t believe me, just go see for yourself.

Not in one day it will take a while but it will not be long term like say 30 years until the oil runs out.

[antoniof123]

So this is better for Iraq and the people. Wing nuts burn in hel1.

[awfulshock]

What can be done to help the world''s first Christians? Can we grant them refugee status in the United States now that they''re being persecuted by Islamic fundamentalists? Wouldn''t doing the right thing now, over four years on, help mitigate some of the moral shame that will be heaped on our nation''s head in years and decades to come?

[gunownerdan]

Dirty democrats and rotten republicans will claim to be Christian, but they seem to be the same kind of Christian that Hitler was(and for a similar purpose).
We live in scary times!

[gunownerdan]

But Bush is a SO-CALLED Christian.
Surely he would help the people in Iraq of his own faith, right???
Gullible fools.

[cbs_oliver]

I hope the Vicar manages to stay safe himself and protect what is left of his congregation.

But the prospects are probably not good.

[cbs_oliver]

What is the point of this story - now - after all this time?

Suddenly after all this time someone discovers that Christians are dying too and decides this requires a special story?

Will the story report that some Christians were killed by our bombing attacks right at the beginning?

At the same time they downplay the evidence that perhaps as many as a million people have been killed as a result of our invasion and occupation.

It may be crazy.

[denn034]

Dire times in Iraq indeed! What about elsewhere like in Africa where Jehovah''s Witnesses were raped and forced to walk around with nails in their feet or Florida where Gideons were incarcerated for handing out Bibles? When Christians are wrong they should be punished but, the above instances didn''t justify such. That was persecution pure and simple. Democrats attacking evangelical Christians is another example of this. Something needs to be done about Christian persecution worldwide not just in Iraq.

[dan9111]

Amazing that someone as purely evil as Saddam was actually a greater defender of civil rights than the current regime. The evangelical warhawks are just like the liberal-academics, quick to believe in the goodness of violence.
