A bomb exploded outside a Catholic Church in Baghdad today following Easter Mass.
Reuters reported:
A roadside bomb exploded near the rear entrance of a Catholic church in Baghdad after Easter services on Sunday, wounding at least two police officers and two civilians.
The bomb blew up outside Sacred Heart church in Baghdad’s central Karrada district, shattering windows in nearby buildings and severely damaging a police pick-up truck at the church gate.
The explosion occurred after the church had been cleared of parishioners following services on Easter Sunday, which marks the resurrection of Christ after his crucifixion.
Two security sources said two policemen and two civilians were hurt in the bombing but a Reuters TV cameraman saw three wounded police and four injured civilians at a local hospital.
“We had just reached the scene to distribute food to the policemen there and when we arrived the bomb blew up,” police officer Hassan Dalli said at the hospital where he was taken for treatment. A colleague was stretched out on a gurney nearby.

Muslims love to give a big present on other religions’ holidays.
Passover massacre?
Yom Kippur war?
These animals love to hurt where/when it hurts the most. Kill as many women and children as possible, and try to do it on a holiday. What lovely people. NOT!

How can this violence be explained ?
Did that Pastor guy burn another Koran….?

The Religion of Piece (of Arm, of Leg, of Torso). Or, al-Kaboom.

Moozies, it seems no matter the strain, the end solution is always the same. Kill somebody. Anyone really, take your pick. That part matters less.
Jason commented:
What a peaceful religion. Christians are being attacked around the world, the liberal media just doesnt want you to know. I woke up to NBC’s morning show Friday and all I heard was Green Day, not one mention of good Friday.

The world has forgotten Who created all they enjoy. Evil is more rampant than it has been for many decades. Not since the death and destruction wrought by Nazi Germany. Turned out God didn’t think that the time was right for the return of His Son then, but we are now in the depths of such depravity that we could be coming to the end. Evil is rampant all over this world. Not any nation has escaped it. Abortion has brought the US into great evil. The Muslims are bringing evil to nation after nation.
But we know Who wins if we believe in the Only Begotten Son . . . we’ve read the Book and know how it ends.

And this is why there won’t be peace or democracy in Iraq. Not on the long run. Not as long as they have islam.
Oldpuppymax commented:
These “people” have spent 1400 years bowing to the ravings of a power mad pedophile. That they are sub-human in every way cannot be surprising.

I guess the Church, unlike all those mosques, does not have the U.S. military guarding it. And why is the Pope wringing his hands over Libya? Christians the world over have suffered greatly.

Tell me again, what are we trying to achieve there?

Tell me again about the peace and tolerance of Islam.
Rachelle commented:
Islam is turning out to be more consistently savage than Nazism.
Freeway commented:
When will those Christians every learn, Don’t treat those Nazis I mean Muslims so bad…
tommy mc donnell commented:
this is marxism. the world-wide jihad is just the continuation of the marxist historic attempt to conquer the world. the jihadist is the marxist’s proxy army. the marxists are laughing their butts off. the atheists have a religion doing their fighting for them. i have to go now . have to read my local paper to get mt daily dose of religion of peace propaganda.

it’s time for christians to stop turning the other cheek.
L.E. Liesner commented:
And these same animals go ballistic if somebody burns the Koran. It’s way passed time to quit kissing their butts and start kicking some butt, it has to be done. The “religion of peace” is the biggest piece of propaganda the MSM is telling us since their tried to pass off Hitler as a pacifist. Actions speak louder then words.
