IRAQ
Islamic group in Baghdad: “Get rid of the cross or we will burn your Churches”.
In the Dora quarter threats continue to be made against Christians. In the last two months Christian parishes have been forced to give in to extremist pressure, only the Church of Sts Peter and Paul has withstood so far. A fatwa forbids the practice of Christian ritual gestures. The US army occupies Babel College, property of the Chaldean Patriarchate.

addendum: Terrorists sack and occupy a convent in Baghdad
It took place yesterday in Dora quarter; in a convent of the Chaldean sisters of the Sacred Heart. Local sources tell AsiaNews that Shiite groups are suspected, as they mimic the fierce Sunni campaign of persecution against Christians in the capital. Today the first session of the Chaldean Church Synod opens in al Qosh.

addendum: see my other questions on Muslim cowardice, they are missing the mark as are some of the answers here. These Christians did not request Bush to come on over. These Christians are Catholic and the Catholic Church has condeemed the war right from the beginning. Attacking these Christians is like saying Persians and Arabs are all the same, or Sunni and Shite are identical. I think some educating is in order. Attacking Catholic Churches and people aren't going to gain the Muslim world any support. Infact you're only stiring up more aggression would you like another crusader army to arrive? wake up

Josh you assume much for one thing I'm not an American, secondly the cruasades were a response to Muslim aggression. 1000 years ago the same thing was happening and Muslim dogs need the chain. I've studied the crusades have you? I'm not going to be satified with all the answers wanting to claim this is war and the innocent must suffer

darqen the reality is these attacks aren't getting main media coverage in the West so most Westerns are not hearing about them. You at my sources they aren't CNN or BBC. If Muslim terrorist thing they are getting front page media coverage for acts of cowardice the joke is on them. I'm bring these acts of cowardice to light here and was hoping for more educated responses not the same old dribble of they have the right to be cowards.

the majority of you aren't getting it, the bullseye is over to the right and these "freedom fighter" (as no doubt that is what they seen as by the Muslims posting answers) are shooting to the left. Attacking Catholic and Orthodox Christians in Iraq is not affecting US foreign policy from a country that is predominantly Protestant Christian.

It's ridiculous to say, "Christians burn down their mosques so they burn down churches." CRIMINALS burn down mosques! Why don't they go after the criminals who perpetuated the crime instead of lashing out at innocents just to get revenge?
That's as ridiculous as saying, "Men in battle fatigues invaded our city so we're going to go around and beat up anyone who wears fatigues or cargo pants."

Your ignorant. (The following sentence is written sarcastically and is not true) What Muslims have done to christians and their churches is far worse that was christians have done to muslims and their moques.
There was this thing called the crusades (ever heard of it? it was quite big) that kind of put the Christians ahead in Slaughtering and Religious Building destruction. Oh but wait a minute I almost forgot, the Muslims don't matter because their different (American way of life) people who are different don't matter right? I am so sorry to offend you in any way I just totally forgot that Mosques being burnt down don't matter (even if the number of destroyed Mosques outnumber destroyed Churches. Oh silly me to think such things like other cultures matter, im sorry to think otherwise.
Let me guess you watched the news for the first time yesterday or something? oh no wait must have been the propaganda you watched, I almost forgot about that.
Enjoy your war, you are going to lose

actually, rev, its when will ALL of religion's cowardice end?
christianity is the biggest religious coward ever !!!
Here's the Solution for religion:
Create a Private, Personal, Direct, Divine Relationship with Our Creator and save Your Soul from religion's and atheist's beliefs and start Your journey back home, to Heaven.
<<<<<<< UnConditional Love is the only answer >>>>>>>
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
"religion is Spiritual fraud";
"religion is the Worse invention of humanity";
"Universal Truth has eliminated religion from Spirituality",
quotes of Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.
"When a person is freed of religion, they have a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life." S. Freud
Here are some of my quotes:
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
Freedom of religion is Freedom from religion.
atheists = all the people in religion = all the ignorant fundamentalists = all the cults/superstitions = paganism = wicca = = taoism = xians = scientology = homosexuals/lesbians = skinheads = politicians = george w bush = lawyers.

that is a tough question and I don't think cowardice is a good word.You have to understand that the Jews,Muslims and Christians all have one thing in common and that is they all are of the same God going all the way back to Abraham so in the end I feel that this is a family feud and there is no end in sight.This fight has been going on long before any of us were ever born and it is likely it will continue till the main man himself comes back and puts a stop to it.The Christians are not pure.Think of the crusades.The best thing to do is not take sides and let family politics take its course.

IRAQ and Afghanistan should be thankfull to the Christians particularly Mr.bus & blare for the destruction they are making in their countries!
You may be happy to know that in order to save regular army america has hired a lot of blood thursty mercenaries from S.American - Columbia. This will reduce your death rate and increase stoughter of innocent citizens trying to save their lands from the aggressors and unwanted Terrorists.
Your media is in the hands of Zionists. They are killing two birds with one stone! It will never tell you the facts. Just visit alternate Muslim media like Al-Jazerra and get some truth about this story.

It ends when the media stops reporting it.
Don't be fooled into thinking islam is bad or christianity is bad just by watching the tv. They've already got you thinking negatively about muslims. What do you think about say... mauritians? or senegalese? nothing i bet, cos you haven't seen anything about it on the tv/paper. (not that there is anything wrong with them!)
once the media tells you "the mauritians have landed" you'll think differently about them.
war is wrong and the people caught up in them have no way out because their governments are the true cowards.

never saw this problem before the occupation. if a military crossed oceans to occupy your country surely you would fight and you would likely not consider yourself a coward. If they come crusade here, I know for sure I will stand up and fight these foreign imperialist aggressors, even if its only with small arms.

I honestly do not support things like this, but I really do understand why they are acting this way. Their country has been invaded, destroyed and left a disaster by Christians. I would not call people defending their country cowards. Those invading unjustly are the true cowards, and people like you who feel the need to constantly insult their right to defend what is theirs.
