Adding to the pressure on Iraq’s dwindling Christian minority, at least 10 bombing attacks were launched today in the capital city of Baghdad, killing two Christians and wounding at least 20 others.
The bombs, according to Iraq’s Interior Ministry, were planted near the homes of Christians. Officials say four additional bombs were defused before they were able to explode. So far there have been no arrests reported in relation to the strikes.
Officials say the attacks were timed to the new year in the Western calendar and were aimed at preventing Christians from celebrating it. The Baghdad Christian community had canceled virtually all Christmas celebrations just last week.
In addition to the attacks on Christians, security sources also reported an attack on the home of a Sabian family in southern Baghdad. The exact casualty figures of the attack were not reported. Iraq’s Sabian community is even smaller than its Christian community, and virtually the entire group has fled since the 2003 US invasion, with just a few thousand left.
Sabians? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabians
Poor, poor people, the weakest always have to suffer from the deads of the hostile.
BTW, under Saddam these people were save, but not under the US installed system.
The US has bombed them and now they will end up in Western Europe and won't become
happy there.

They should end up in George Bush and Dick Cheney's neighbourhoods. They are the ones responsible.
I don't see what interest Muslims have in attacking Christians, particularly Catholics, who should be their natural allies, given the number of Palestinian Catholics and the fact that Israeli discriminates against its Catholic citizens, as it does against all Arabs. Could these be false flag operations?
Bring them all to the US, they are good people.
Invade the world. Invite the world. Great strategy.

I am appalled at this treatment of Iraqi Christians. Those responsible- Muslim, Jewish, or otherwise- need to be hunted down and dealt with harshly, if not terminally. For a Muslim population to treat our Christian brothers and sisters this way is unthinkable and reprehensible, and if this is a false flag operation I pray the perpetrators- whoever they are and whoever they serve- are unmasked and brought to swift justice. I will pray for those affected by the attacks, and I ask all observant Muslims to join me and do the same.
