ISIS has offered Christians in Iraq an ultimatum: "Convert or die." Those who do not (women, children, and men alike) are being beheaded, shot in the streets, and crucified.

Chaldean leaders are calling for Western nations to offer refugees asylum.

A number of Christian websources are corroborating some of the more grisly details of the story.

(EXTREMELY NSFW)



I haven't been able to find much else, however. Is anyone aware of a better source on the subject?

Frankly, regardless of whether this story is truly as horrible as is being claimed, I'm glad to see that we've finally taken action by authorizing airstrikes.

These are the guys that Al Qaeda considers too extreme. What did Obama think would happen if he withdrew? What an ass.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

The primary victims of the ISIS are not Christians, but Shia and other religious minority groups like Yazidis. Christians make up only a very tiny minority of Northern Iraq.

Geez.

Time to hit the reset button on that whole region of the planet.

A minority which ISIS presently seems to be committing what amounts to genocide against.

What's your point?

Yes, what an ass... oh wait:

President Barack Obama told disabled veterans in Atlanta on Monday that he was fulfilling a campaign promise by ending U.S. combat operations in Iraq “on schedule,” by Aug. 31.

But the timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops in Iraq was decided during the Bush administration with the signing of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by U.S. and Iraq officials on Nov. 16, 2008. The Iraqi parliament signed SOFA on Nov. 27, 2008.

The duplicity of this guy is, sad to say, completely believable. He takes credit for what others accomplished, and blames others for his own mistakes. He came to the forefront of the Democrat party by giving an anti-Iraq war speech, he’s whined about it ever since, he’s voted to defund the war, he was against the Surge, and now he wants to take credit for the framework that Bush put in place.

How dare he take credit for what Bush accomplished?

I've seen the videos months previous. They're beyond disturbing. I'm not going to forget anytime soon.

However this has only reached the news now that ISIS has reached Christian areas.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

He took credit for making the decision to pull the final troops out during his campaign - when he could have negotiated for them to stay as the Bush admin was going to do. The decision to pull the troops out was clearly his. He doesn't have a clue about how the world works. He should go back to organizing bake sales.

They're only Christians. No need to get upset.

True.

Oh, I see. The Bush Administration was gonna negotiate for them to stay. When Obama took credit for pulling them out, he was taking credit for something the Bush Administration already did, but now that things have gone (predictably) bad there, he wuzgonna change his mind.

We used to say that two wuzgonnas and a dime would get you a cup of coffee, but that's out of date. Now, two wuzgonnas and five bucks will get you a latte grande mocha goodie with fru frus on top. Times change.

The major mistake in Iraq was going there to begin with. After that, I'm not sure that there was any avoiding the mess that it has become.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

This kind of **** needs to stop. It is time for us to organize and arm a Christian army to put a stop to this crap everywhere.

I have an AR and a few hundred rounds of ammo, where do we meet up?
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

This has been going on for awhile and Barry says zilch! Its disgusting how we as a nation have abandoned those who worked with us in Iraq. Where is the UN?? This is blowing up in the administrations face and they know it.

Bomb them if need be. But to neutralize them it will need boots on the ground. Those should not be American.

Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

I heard the reports this morning and just saw this when I got home from work. Absolutely horrifying.

They are beheading babies and crucifying adults, and children are dying from thirst and starvation. How is this not genocide? The images are absolutely horrible.

And its happening to other groups as well, here are kurds before the genocide began.

The Iraqi military has been defending these people for weeks and flying in aid, they are staying and fighting. Obama left them to die, by pulling out and losing the peace.

THE FACT THAT WE ARE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF OBAMA'S INEPT FOREIGN POLICY.

These people are animals!!! Sadly they are like roaches and will never die off. I see why in the bible in certain wars God told them to smite everyone as to not give them a chance to further reproduce.

The UN and the Administration is too busy being publicly pissed at people who are killing "innocent" Muslims, you know, the ones shooting at others and shooting rockets from schools.

Umm. Aren't the ones doing this some of the people that God told the Jews to eradicate but they didn't listen?

Technically speaking, genocide cannot be committed against them as Christianity is a religion, not an ethnicity. However, I do understand where you are coming from.

EDIT: This isn't to downplay the horror of what is going on. IS is a serious problem, however I do not think that air strikes are the solution. It seems to me that the main problem is the Iraqi government and the ethnic problems in Iraq more generally. The only group that seems to really have its stuff together are the Kurds.

Chaldean Christians are both a religious and cultural / ethnic group, as far as I understand.

Though, likewise, I understand your meaning.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

And why is it OUR business?

France and Germany killed millions for years and we smartly stayed out............1914 to 1917.

Japan and China again killed millions and we stayed out..............1930 to 1941.

Why are you so eager to start a war with religious nut cases?

WW I, 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918, The US entered the War in 1917 after the sinking of the RMS Lusitania and Germany resuming unrestricted submarine warfare.

WW II, 1939-1945, Official US involvement starting in Dec 1941. Prior to that, we supported the Chinese (Flying Tigers among others), Lend-Lease Program with Britain and the Soviet Union and blockades of raw materials entering Japan.

As to "starting" a war with religious nuts, perhaps you should refer to all the terrorist and other activities of some Muslims since 1948.

On WW1 so I am correct. thanks! LMAO!

OPPS! Lies to enter the war are lies all over agian. WMD's anyone! "Although the Germans had reasons for treating Lusitania as a naval vessel, including that the ship was carrying war munitions and that the British had also been breaching the Cruiser Rules" And that Britannia sailed the Lusitania dispite a WAR ZONE DECLARATION. (MH 17 anyone????)

and lets get the whole lie about USA entering WW1.

WIKI
"The British felt that the Americans had to declare war on Germany. However, US President Woodrow Wilson refused to act.[56] During the weeks after the sinking, the issue was hotly debated within the US government, and correspondence was exchanged between the US and German governments. German Foreign Minister Von Jagow continued to argue that Lusitania was a legitimate military target, because she was listed as an armed merchant cruiser, she was using neutral flags and she had been ordered to ram submarines – in blatant contravention of the Cruiser Rules."


On WW2 - I am correct! Thanks! LMAO. And WW 2 started much earlier than that...............WIKI "The Japanese invasion of Manchuria began on September 19, 1931, when the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan invaded Manchuria immediately following the Mukden Incident. The Japanese established a puppet state, called Manchukuo, and their occupation lasted until the end of World War II." ( sorry one year off, not bad for off the top of my head)

Terrorists only attack USA when we attack them...............or use proxies like Israel.

Look at the History of Switzerland, and THINK!!!

I believe so, as are the kurd subgroup that is surrounded on a mountain there.

Its horrible and I can't believe Im even having the thought (Im typing this with tears in my eyes)-but If these groups that go back thousands of years (in mosul, those Christians have been there for 2K years, kurds too) have to go, I hope and pray that they can go together. There are pictures of these thugs holding guns to to the heads of infants. They want to defend themselves, and we aren't helping.

The American left demonstrates its tolerance actually means tolerating thug islamists beheading children and raping their mothers. IN THIS THREAD we are asked what business is it of ours. I can't remember things ever being this bad.
