Doors of destruction and rivers of blood

For the past seven years, the Iraqi Christians have been targeted by waves of attacks on their churches, monasteries, homes, businesses and in person. A Bishop and Several Priests were killed and even slaughtered in cold blood. Since the events of 2003 more than half the Iraqi Christians fled the country, thousands have been killed, and more than 60 churches, monasteries were bombed. In less than a week after terrorists’ attacked Iraqi Christians during a Sunday mass in the heart of Baghdad, al-Qaeda has threatened to stage more similar attacks on Christians.

In a reported warning, an al-Qaeda affiliated group, Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), claimed that their attacks were legitimate and that the time had come for Iraqi Christians to face the doors of destruction. "All
Christian centers, organizations and institutions, leaders and followers, are legitimate targets for the muhajideen wherever they can reach them,” the statement said.“We will open upon them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood,” it added. 

Father (Père) Wassim Sabih (Waseem Sabeeh Al-kas Butros), 27 years old and Father (Père) Thaer (Thaer Saad-alla Abdal), 32 years old were killed during the attack on Our Lady of Salvation Syrian Catholic Church by terrorists during Mass Sunday evening, in Bagdad, October 31, 2010. Father Rafael Alkotaily critically injured is now undergoing a number of surgeries t Ibn Al-Nafis hospital in Baghdad. More than 63 were killed in the bloodbath. Another 120 were wounded. Hundreds of dependents are now helpless. (http://www.thecsf.org/).

We will open them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood, is a mere statement of ignorance. I am sure some people in the world like to see blood being shed and this drives them to do anything to taste the blood of the innocent. I am astounded at the disposition of some people who claim that destroying other fellow human is legitimate. Iraq is the constant target for the terrorists. Iraqis are poor lamp to slain, where are we going? Is it really religious fight or some destructive ideologies in force in the name of religion? If it is religiously oriented than how can any religion claim that one religion is superior to others? Does God really consider some people or religion as superior to others? I am sure no God will be pleased to see his own creation fighting over superiority of Himself. I think we have gone too far and failed to realize that religion is sacred which is the abode of humanity and whole creation. 

I reckon that this world is lacking a direction. World is at its cross roads which is used and abused by some people with crap ideologies driven by the selfish motives. Today Baghdad tomorrow Assam and one day the world itself will be shedding blood if we don't start to change our hearts and embrace the ideology of harmony. Let us wait and see what more to come, this attitude will not really help the on going destruction of the human race.
