Iraqi Christians fleeing Iraq, forced to convert to Islam or suffer death

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/29/60minutes/main3553612.shtml?source=mostpop_story

Isn’t it amazing how Muslims shout bloody murder about Palestinians or Chechens yet actively endorse Muslim extremists forcing the exodus of Iraq’s Christians, whom have been there far longer than Muslims have?

Why is it ok for Muslims to harass Christians and other non-Muslims but cry foul over the “alleged war on Islam”?

And people wonder why Middle Eastern Christians hate Muslims? Well take a look at this and you’ll understand why.

One way or another…there is not much difference and It is not just a practise of radicals, but merely “copied” from the christian missionares. They have done It at whole Africa, Vietnam, South Korea, Korea, Afghanistan, Northern parts of Pakistan, Iraq, etc
A very nice article on this very subject:

Re: Iraqi Christians fleeing Iraq, forced to convert to Islam or suffer death

So in your eyes it makes it perfectly okay to forcefully convert them to Islam or suffer death, is that right?

Re: Iraqi Christians fleeing Iraq, forced to convert to Islam or suffer death

A foreign power is invading their land, killing people, raping their women and these guys are busy converting people by force?

The headlines are getting more and more comical these days.

Read the article before jumping to conclusions and avoid the prejudice.
We are all in deep waters, christian missionares are not better (their attitude maybe It).

Re: Iraqi Christians fleeing Iraq, forced to convert to Islam or suffer death

A side question, just curious: Did you ever get the answer to famous question (by westerners): Why do they (Muslims/Middle-easterners) hate us?

By the way, you won't find many Muslims endorsing extremism, forget the forced conversions.

^ kaptaan sahib... chorain kyon deewaron say sar phortay hain

some people, while they cry day in and day out about extremists and are hell bent on destroying them, are every bit as extreme as the party they are condemning.

Actually this is an article by a Muslim praising the work of Christians, calling Muslims to be more like them. Their aid, charity and organization. Their energy, dedication and courage.

It has nothing to do whatsoever with the violence and oppression suffered by Christians mentioned in the article regarding Iraq. They aren’t bombing mosques or inflicting non-Christians with shootings, death, torturing, kidnapping or mutilation. So no they are not copying Christian missionaries at all. The missionaries in this article are not violent radicals. I suggeset you read the the articles you post before you try to deflect blame the next time.

Re: Iraqi Christians fleeing Iraq, forced to convert to Islam or suffer death

Kinda like how Islamic empires invaded North Africa, Egypt, Persia, Central Asia, Armenia, Georgia, Asia Minor, Balkans, etc.?

Why is it okay for Muslims to invade and plunder the riches of their conquered lands yet cry foul if others do the same?

By the way Crescent, do you believe Christians should be eradicated from Muslim lands? Yes or no, simple question.

Re: Iraqi Christians fleeing Iraq, forced to convert to Islam or suffer death

A search on this forum for extremist elements yields evidence contrary to your beliefs.

Re: Iraqi Christians fleeing Iraq, forced to convert to Islam or suffer death

There are extremists and there are fundamentalists, I hope you are not confusing them with each other.
