Muslims
Did Not Blow Up
The Churches

Having
discussed the matter in detail with other experts on the Middle East,
Christianity in Iraq and on Islam in Iraq, we have all concluded this
is not the work of any Muslim group. There has never been any animosity
between the Christian and Muslim communities in Iraq, in fact, they
have stood toe-to-toe against the American occupation and they have
resisted efforts by the Israeli office in Baghdad to become allied with
Israel.
With these matters
in mind, it appears as if this new attack on the Christian churches
is just another attempt either by the American CIA or its operatives,
or the Mossad of Israel, to paint Islam with terrorism and to split
the Muslim and Christian communities in Iraq. They tried to do the same
thing in Palestine, but the Palestinians wouldnt buy it. You may
remember the Israelis shelled the holy churches of the Church of the
Nativity and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher both events were
condemned by Christian and Muslim alike. Even today in Iraq, all Iraqis
interviewed said they knew no Iraqi or Muslim would do such a thing.
But, in America, where we are fed the news as it is planned by Bush
and by Zionist influence, the story plays big to the evangelical group
and to Christians who believe the U.S. propaganda media.
This is another
sad chapter in the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Since the early days of
the war, the Iraqis complained about the treatment of prisoners taken
by the Americans. We all know the truth at this point; but, for over
a year the American media and the U.S. government ignored these pleas
to look into the torture at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Unfortunately,
no one would listen to the Iraqis or those of us who reported these
atrocities. So, once again, we have to report to you, this is another
American cover-up to create more chaos in Iraq, just as America did
in Viet Nam to keep us in that war. In this case, it is to rally the
Christians of America against Iraq and to justify more attacks on Muslims
groups in Iraq. The U.S. also wants to justify the continued and immoral
and unjust shelling of Fallujah to allegedly kill Zarqawi. The townspeople
keep saying, There is no Zarqawi here, and there never was
yet our U.S. military keeps lying in order to justify the bombings of
civilians in order to punish the Fallujahns for having kept the American
forces out.
At this point, there
is no telling what the U.S. or the Israeli Mossad will do in Iraq in
order to foment civil war among the Iraqis and to justify the continuation
of an American occupation in Iraq. Some of you may remember that JFK
felt he had to go into Viet Nam in order to protect the Christian Catholic
leadership in the southwe have a replay of this today in Iraq.
As for me, Ive
just about given up on believing anything the Bush administration or
the major American media tell usthere have been too many lies.
