To the XCG's: Here is REAL persecution!
If you are member of the XCG splinters and if you think you are going under persecution because a few bloggers and theologians think your religion is a very cruel one and should begone from the face of the earth, well GET A GRIP!!! Christian believers in Iraq have paid with their own blood. Thanks to WCG Alumni's Hannah she picked an article from WorldNet Daily Report:
Christians in Iraq, including converts from Islam and people involved in mixed-faith marriages, are being crucified by Muslim terrorists, according to a Dutch member of Parliament studying the war-torn country.
Several Iraqi Christians "are nailed to a cross and their arms are tied up with ropes. The ropes are put on fire," Joel Voordewind told BosNewsLife, an online news agency focusing on Christians and Jews in difficult circumstances.
According to the site, Voordewind described how a person, who "survived" a crucifixion, "even showed holes in his hands," apparently from nails.
Voordewind said victims of the crucifixions are "in most cases Christian converts who abandoned Islam or people who, religiously speaking, are involved in mixed marriages."
He did not specify how many Christians have been crucified in recent weeks and months, as an official report is expected soon. Voordewind is slated to present his findings to Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Verhagen within the next few days.
The report comes as thousands of Christians are said to be fleeing Iraq due to ongoing threats and violence against them. Just yesterday, over 80 people were killed in bomb blasts in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk. Most of the casualties resulted from a suicide truck bomb which detonated near the offices of the Kurdish political party led by Iraq's President Jalal Talabani.
BosNewsLife says Voordewind was part of a Dutch delegation visiting several countries in the Mideast, including Syria, where several lawmakers held talks with the terrorist group Hamas.

The martyrdoms are horrible.
Nevertheless, there is persecution in the xCGs today.
It is called child rearing.

Just watched MI-5 on BBC America.
The wickedness of the evil that radical Arab Islam does is not limited to their persecution of Christians. They sacrifice their own children to the fires of Molech by making them suicide bombers.
Here is yet another case where most of us could get behind the Wrath of God to see the prophecy of destruction of such evil to come to pass.
The amazing thing is that they think that they are doing Allah's work by killing the righteous. Maybe they are, if you consider that Allah Akbar -- the greater god -- is really Satan the Devil in drag.
