“Barbaric” Baghdad church attackers now to target all Christians with “sword of slaughter”, call Copts “dog”, Catholics “idolaters” and insult Pope

 The self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) terror group that carried out what Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari calls a “barbaric”¹ attack on Our Lady of Salvation church, leaving sores of Christians dead, has announced that all Christians are now targets. It came after their 48 hour deadline⁴ expired for the release of two women, who they allege to have converted to Islam but are being held captive by the Egyptian Coptic church. 

 The following is included in ISI's message,

"The Ministry of War of Islamic State of Iraq declares that all the centers, organizations and bodies of Christian leaders and followers have become legitimate targets by the Mujahedeens, wherever our hands will reach them."⁴

"We will open upon them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood,"³

"Let these idolaters, and at their forefront, the hallucinating tyrant of the Vatican, know that the killing sword will not be lifted from the necks of their followers until they declare their innocence from what the dog of the Egyptian Church is doing,"²

"The sword of slaughter will not be lifted off the necks of their followers until they denounce what the dog of the Egyptian church has committed, and until they show the Mujahedeens their serious endeavor to pressure the combatant (Coptic) church for the release of our Muslim sisters, who are captive in the prisons of their monateries,"⁴

(Christians would be) “extirpated and dispersed” (from Iraq.)⁵

 [This is a public declaration of plan by Muslim terrorists to commit genocide against Christians.]
