Imagine the outcry, worldwide, if 66 mosques in the United States or Britain or 66 Synagogues had been attacked, and many destroyed, by Christians! So why has there been virtually nothing, nothing at all, said about the ruination of 66 churches in Iraq?
I hadn’t heard a word about such widespread insanity until Stuart pointed out this horrifying report today.
66 churches have been attacked or bombed since June, 2004: 41 in Baghdad, 19 in Mosul, 5 in Kirkuk and 1 in Ramadi. The following is a list of the bombings.

I am beyond disgusted. Jews would be protesting. Muslims would be rioting. Christians are sipping tea.

Every day Christians are persecuted, like today 3 churches in Russia are attacked.
See here for the latest news on Christian persecution (several languages).
This doesn’t surprise me.
If the world liked Christians I would be more concerned. As it stands, this is merely another sign in a long list of signs that the world is doomed.
To state the blindingly obvious the illegal invasion of Iraq, by Coalition forces in pursuit of oil, made things a hell of a lot worse for Christians and many others beside. Maybe reportage of some of the attacks on Churches are being deliberately supressed. Who knows? Muslim civilians,including many women and children aren’t doing too well either.
