I guess if you’re a powerful elitist, looking down on all us peons, we all look pretty much the same. That’s the only way Bush and Co. could look at people and not see any differences.

I spent 7 years in Egypt and heard of several incidents in which Muslim mobs attacked and killed Copts. There are districts in Cairo and surrounding areas where we expats were forbidden to travel because of the militancy of the local Muslims. We were told that Friday was a bad day to visit the Khan-al-khalilli bazaar because of it’s proximity to the al-azhar mosque. Friday sermons blaring from loud-speakers were clearly full of hate-filled shouting (although I couldn’t understand a word – it was obviously not “have a nice day”). And we are supposed to believe it’s only a tiny percentage of radicals who hate our guts. Yeah, right.
Once on a train during Ramadan, a Muslim man was alternately reading his Qur’an, getting worked up into a hate-filled lather, then staring at me with pure murderous rage.
Another time I met a Muslim coworker on the street with his 10 year old son. When Sameer insisted his son shake my hand, the boy stared at him in horror. “You want me to be nice to an infidel??” was etched all over his face.
But, it’s only a tiny percentage. Right?

An Assyrian orthodox priest told me long before the Iraq war that their Christians had been 80% martyred over history. The current situation must really cut into their ranks.

Thats why its extremily crucial for christians and jews,liberals and conservatives,(republicans and democrats),hidus and buddists,blacks,hispanics,asian and whites,(including homos and heteros),or just anyone who cares for the survival of the west to all unite in solidarity to fight off the muslim crusading 7th century throwbacks who seek to destroy our democracy that we enjoy living in.

Debbie, thanks for this post, I am a Christian, I know every day life is bad for Christians in the Middle East, but this article REALLY drives the point home. Far too many Christian churches and congregations just donít get it when it comes to Islam.
Anyone who will truly take an honest look at the Quran and weigh what they read, along with the history of Islam, will realize that Islam propagates a religious philosophy of dictatorial aggression. Indeed, a theology of coercion, horrific violence, and murder.
For far too long, we Christians have allowed ourselves to be slaughtered by the Islamists.
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus told his apostles;
“But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.î (Luke 22:36, NIV)
This statement from Jesus demonstrates that He wasnít ìJesus, meek and mildî and He doesnít expect Christians to be either.

Just goes to show you, islam and democracy do not mix. The whole idea of spreading democracy in the islamic world was ill-concieved from the very beggining by people not only ignorant about islam but also dangerously deluded. The only concrete results of the “Iraqi democracy” project are:
1) The killed, maimed and wounded
2) Stronger Iran
3) Christians in Iraq all but wiped out
Way to go George. You certainly made the ordinary moms and dads in the Middle East happy.

“There is no better example of what will happen if this human tragedy in the Arab-Muslim world is allowed to continue.”
Allowed to continue???? You fight, or You die – those are the only choices if you don’t want to be subjugated by Islamists in the Arab-Muslim world. Turning another cheek shouldn’t mean your Butt cheek. Turn your other cheek while you’re reloading.

Tell that to Robert Novak (he thinks the problems facing Christianity in the West Bank are the Jews fault).
BOB NOVAK IS A SELF-HATING, ANTI-SEMITIC JEW WHO ALSO SAID THAT HE SUPPORTS HAMAS. I SUPPOSE HE BLAMES THE MUSLIM CRUSADES AGAINST CHRISTIANS, CENTURIES AGO, ON THE JEWS, TOO. NOVAK LOVED YASSER ARAFAT.

Now I know how to respond when some knucklehead asks me, “Is Iraq better (safer) with Saddam gone?”
Not, if you are a Christian living in Iraq.
