Sectarian clashes in Iraq have been getting worse and worse throughout the year, and Christmas provided no real respite, though it did appear to shift the focus of attacks onto the nation’s Christian minority.
Major bombings targeted St. John’s church in Baghdad and a marketplace in another Christian neighborhood. All told nationwide the bombings killed at least 75 people, with large numbers of them Christians.
Christmas was once a lively holiday for Iraq’s Christians, but over the past decade of wars the celebrations have gotten smaller and more muted. That doesn’t appear to prevent them being a target on the holiday, the same as other religions find themselves under fire on their own holidays.
During the US occupation Iraq’s Christians were often targeted as a proxy for the Americans, and their community suffered greatly. Since the departure of the US, the recent resurgence of violence has centered almost exclusively on Sunni vs. Shi’ite conflicts.
Glee in Israel when arabs slaughter each other. Mission IS accomplished, because this was from the very beginning one of the main Goals of the US-Imperial-war on behalf of Israel: to set the Middle East in flames and drag arab nations into chaos and war to Israels benefit.
There are two obstacle of peace in Middle East, not counting USG and EU governments foreign policy in generals, one is Israel apartheid, racist, anti Arab nationals, anti everything that is based on humanity and human unity, the other, no need to say more regime as Saudi Arabia and UAE. These regimes, no matter what you call them or what they consist of doing what is their interests without considering the harm they have caused and doing to humanity.
Saudis and UAE producing barbarians, EU feeds these barbarians and when they are mature they are sent to Turkey to be trained killing people of Iraq and Syria. USG and EU have their geopolitical, economic interests in the region, they walk along Sid if Saudis and Israelis to keep their position in the region while Muslims, the Christians and other nationals are murdered by hundreds, while senators as McCain meet these barbarians and supports them, while a ethnic cleansing is taking place in Iraq and Syria, while senators as Barbara boxer vote for up coming war with Iran, so, where is that highly valued democrats by the USA Democratic Party Bill Clinton, who started using such modernized and mouthful word "ethnic cleansing" to condemn the barbarians killing of Christians and others.
George Warmonger Bush is to blame for the violence against Christians. He said Iraq was responsible for 9/11. Saddam Husein allowed Christians to practice their faiths. And Bush calls himself a good Christian and says God told him to wage war on Iraq.
