Dozens of young Kurds – men who reportedly had been "instigated" by Muslim clerics – attacked several small businesses in Zakho, a city that at various times served as a checkpoint on the border with Turkey, according to a CNN report.

...the United States and other Christian coalition forces all have "clerics" on their payroll, only we call them chaplains etc., whose function it is to pray over the soldeirs sent out to kill civilians...and since the western Christians "instigated" this war, and since their own men of god haven`t spoken out against it, it`s safe to say that our own clerics are "instigating" attacks against the entire country.

>The news network claims the attackers were targeting "a number of tourist facilities, especially facilities owned by ... Christians and Yazidis." (Yazidis are one of Iraq's smallest religious minorities, their beliefs draw from Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.) A local Kurdish leader reportedly said that authorities made "a major effort" to prevent the "acts of sabotage, but they could not." Several police officers were among those wounded. "I denounce these inhumane and illegal acts, and I call on the people of Kurdistan to respect the national, religious and sectarian coexistence and take it as a basic goal for them to live together peacefully,"

>Massoud Barzani, the president of the Iraq's Kurdistan autonomous region, told CNN at the time. The Wall Street Journal reported on the situation of Christians from Iraq in a Monday feature, calling the public's attention to another factor that is stirring the situation in the region – the democratic uprisings spreading across the Middle East. “With the Arab Spring now bringing political turbulence to many other countries in the region, Christians throughout the Middle East are worried that what happened in Iraq may be a harbinger of misfortune to come in their own communities.

...they weren`t woprried when the war started...at least the Christians who got out and were seeing this war as a "golden opportunity" weren`t worried...they thoguht this war would finally SAVE them.

>While many remain supporters of the uprisings, others fear that the toppling of their autocratic rulers could uncork sectarian violence against Christians and other minority groups in their own nations," the WSJ's Sam Dagher wrote. Such violence already took place in Egypt. Tensions between Coptic Christians and Muslims have escalated since the ousting of former president Hosni Mubarak after the Arab Spring uprisings. Mubarak was an open protector of Christians, and after the Jan. 25 revolution, several radical Islamic groups gained political power.

...wait a minute...you mean the autocratic rulers, like Saddam, are now said to have been BETTER for Christians? Why don`t you fucking people make up your fucking minds...if you have any.

>On Oct. 26, Coptic Christians were killed in Cairo, after Egypt's military and police sought to quell peaceful protests by members of the country's largest Christian denomination, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Currently, the Egyptian diaspora await fearfully what future the newly-minted government will bring. In Iraq, the U.S. invasion and fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 brought sectarian violence that shook all Iraqis, including Muslim Shiites and Sunnis, according to the WSJ. But it has been catastrophic for the "nation's fragile Christian communities."

...that could be because the nations doing the attacking were mostly CHRISTIAN!
>
>Iraqi Christians are caught amidst political brawls between the majority Shiite Muslims, the Sunni Muslims and the Kurds (in the north) who are predominantly Muslim, experts say. At least 54 Iraqi churches have been bombed and at least 905 Christians killed in various acts of violence since the U.S. invasion toppled Hussein in 2003, WSJ reported. Since 2003, attacks against these minorities by insurgents and religious extremists have driven more than half of them out of the country, according to U.N. statistics. The persecution has been causing Christians not only to flee, but to conceal their identity.

...good. Let them all leave. They have made themselves unwelcome in a land which not long ago was their refuge when they were fleeing other "persecution"....
>
>According to Minority Rights Group International, Christian and other religious minority women in Iraq have been forced to wear a head-scarf to protect themselves from attacks.

...and Muslim women in Christian countries have been forced to take their veils OFF....your point?

"Christian women in Kirkuk and Mosul report feeling extremely insecure outside their homes," the organization says in a report.

...Muslim mothers of children feel insecure IN THEIR HOMES!

Archbishop Louis Sako of the Chaldean Catholic Church in the northern provinces of Kirkuk and Sulimaniya told the WSJ recently that "Iraq could be emptied of Christians" completely, if the persecution continues with such intensity.

...it is the war brought by Christians which has caused this, not Islam...you people have lived in peace in those countries for centuries until...until the Euros needed oil and until you thought that by betraying your neighbors you could win the love of the white man.

>Religious minorities, such as Christians and Yazidis, make up less than 5 percent of Iraq's population, according to the U.N.'s data division, as reported by WSJ. As Christmas approaches, Iraqi Christians, while marking the birth of Jesus, will likely also recall the grim holiday season many of them experienced last year.

...how about the grim lives of Iraqis ALL YEAR!
