Bomb attacks on Christians in Baghdad kill 37
Published December 25, 2013/
FoxNews.com

At least 37 were killed in Iraq after militants targeted Christians in two separate bomb attacks on Wednesday, according to officials.

In one attack, a car bomb went off near a church during Christmas Mass in the capital's southern Dora neighborhood, killing at least 26 people and wounding 38, a police officer said.

A little bit earlier, a bomb ripped through an outdoor market in the nearby Christian section of Athorien, killing 11 people and wounding 21, the officer added.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but Iraq's dwindling Christian community, which is estimated to number about 400,000 to 600,000 people, has often been targeted by al-Qaida and other insurgents who see the Christians as unbelievers.

Along with Christians, other targets include civilians in restaurants, cafes or crowded public areas, as well as Shiites and also members of the Iraqi security forces, who are targeted in an attempt to undermine confidence in the Shiite-led government and stir up Iraq's already simmering sectarian tensions.

A medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.

Christmas in Baghdad for Christians is like being a white boy on "Kick a haole's ass" day in Hawaii. Except the moslems kill you, not just kick your ass...

"“Including World War II,” argues Inboden, “every major war the United States has fought over the past 70 years has been against an enemy that also severely violated religious freedom.” The reverse is equally true. “There is not a single nation in the world,” he says, “that both respects religious freedom and poses a security threat to the United States"

Abandon all hope ye who enter here

As in Lebanon...and the Gaza...and in Syria...and in Yemen...and in Lybia...

In Iraq they have come to love the blood more than any thing or any one.

Be it Christian, Jew, Muslim (Sunni? Shia?) or any other form of religious identity it makes no difference to the killers who today more than ever before rule both the day and night.

I spent time in the Doura District of Baghdad with Christian families. My heart goes out to them and every other innocent affected by this and past / coming attacks.

It's crazy that Muslims hundreds of years ago recognized that Christians believed in the same God as them ("People of the Book")... and this is where we are at today.

I remember us targeting people who were drugging & repeatedly raping women before strapping bombs to them in 07-08. I don't think there's any hope left for the area.
