A Sign of Hope

Thank you, Michael Yon! This is something we won't see in the mainstream media:

Thanks and Praise: I photographed men and women, both Christians and Muslims, placing a cross atop the St. John’s Church in Baghdad. They had taken the cross from storage and a man washed it before carrying it up to the dome.

A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from “Chosen” Company 2-12 Cavalry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John’s, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope.

The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. ” Thank you, thank you,” the people were saying. One man said, “Thank you for peace.” Another man, a Muslim, said “All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother.” The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers.

Michael Yon - Thanks and Praise

Muslims Bomb Serbian Church

The Religion of Peace, as usual. The Serbs tried to fight IslamoFascism in 1999, but the world condemned their actions and forced them to stand down. Since then, countless Serbs have been slaughtered by Muslim mobs, churches burned or destroyed, Muslims demand the right to dominate non-Muslim Serbs, and IslamoFascism in Kosovo is gaining strength.

Kosovo police confirm that a bomb was thrown on a Serbian Orthodox church in Gnjilane but the device did not explode leaving a black trace on the wall of the church.

The attack on the St. Nikola church in Gnjilane marks the latest bomb attack on churches in Kosovo dominated by Muslim Albanians that seek independence. Since 1999, nearly 200 churches have been demolished either by explosives or by a Muslim mob.

When is the world going to label this global Jihad as a genocide?

Muslim Kidnappers Renege On Ransom Deal

This should come as no surprise - Muslims reneging on a deal while people's lives are at stake. Behold, the religion of peace:

MOSUL, Iraq (AFP) - The kidnappers of two Roman Catholic priests in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul have withdrawn an agreement for their release, a Christian group said on Tuesday.

Father Pius Affas and Father Mazen Ishoa, both Iraqis, were kidnapped in Mosul on Saturday by an unknown group, and Pope Benedict XVI subsequently made an appeal for their release.

"It appears that agreement was reached for their release, leading to reports of their having been released," said a statement from Middle East Concern. "However, the kidnappers subsequently withdrew from the agreement and demanded a larger ransom."

(BTW, notice how Agence France-Presse (AFP) carefully avoids mentioning the religion of the kidnappers. Wouldn't want to put Islam in a bad light, now would we?)

Muslim Draws a Muhammad Cartoon; Nine Christians Slaughtered In Response

Ah, the Religion of Peace...

Salifu who spoke with newsmen in Kaduna weekend said that reports reaching him from Kano state said there was trouble in Tudun Dankande local government area of the state Friday where nine Christians, including a youth corper serving in the area were killed and their property destroyed over an internet cartoon said to have emanated from a 20-year-old Muslim boy from Bangladesh.

"Information available to me is that almost all the churches within that local government area have been razed down and shops belonging to Christians had also been burnt including their houses. We have been told that they have been ejected and their property brought down and burnt.

"The information given was that they saw a cartoon on the internet and they discovered that this cartoon was drawn by a 20-year-old Muslim boy from Bangladesh and they decided to visit their anger on innocent Christians and their churches.

"I have been told that nine people including a youth corper are confirmed dead and several others injured while the local government in a desperate attempt to cover the dastardly act pretended to be taking the victims to the hospital while in reality they sent some of the victims to Bauchi and some other places around so that people will not go there and see the number of destitutes or refugees caused by this incident.

Mr. Salifu went on to say,

"It is clear that the cartoonist is from Bangladesh and he is a Muslim, so why should they now visit their anger on Christians unless they are lunatics and if you call them this type of name, they say they are angry, but they go killing.
