ASHOOR said:... Can you imagine their reason for doing this? they are killing Christians in Iraq, because another country, Egypt, has some problems between Muslims and Christians? what is next, kill more Christians if Muslims in India are not allowed to build their temple wherever they desire? ...
Zawoyo said:WHAT?! You belive this fairy tale ?!?!
Zawoyo said:- 55 people are killed, 50 of them were Assyrians!
- Iraqi police stormed the church without concerns about the hostages
- AT LEAST one hostage (the priest) were killed by the storming Iraqi police
- Defence minister Abdel Qader al-Obeidi said the "rescue" action was "fully successful" and he spoke about "a limited number of victims"

ASHOOR said:Bro, I am not here to defend anyone, but if you read the article, you would know a lot of those who did this weren't even from Iraq. They used classical Arabic to hide their real accent, or to make it seem like they are Iraqis.
ASHOOR said:I don't care who did it as an ethnicity,
ASHOOR said:I care that it was done in the name of Islamic Jihad: THAT IS WHAT MATTERS HERE. And Iraqi Muslims are the first to come and demand justice.
jonadona said:Iraqi forces are trained not to negotiate by US FORCES!
Zawoyo said:YES! And they were trained to kill the HOSTAGES at first!
ASHOOR said:Remember the Moscow theater massacre in 2004? that was 10 times worse than this, with about 350 people civilians killed. When the experienced Russian forces stormed the place, that is when most of the casualties happened.
Iraqi or anyone else, these operations are not easy. I am not saying the Iraqi forces did a good job. In fact, they did a poor job, but given that you have people who are determined to kill and die for the cause, it is a lose-lose situation.

ASHOOR said:Guys, today is a day of unity and mourning, and not about Zowaa or anyone else!
ASHOOR
ASHOOR said:As per the article I posted above, we all know what will this lead to: a new wave of our people leaving Iraq, which is very very frustrating.
Just when you thought we had gone a few months without any major terrorists activities in Iraq, comes this!
ASHOOR
ASHOOR said:Zawoyo, please don't put words in my mouth. That is not what I am implying, if it is not already clear enough.
I am saying this is a complex operation whether it was Iraqi, Russian or even US security forces involved.
ASHOOR said:Let us see: if you were in charge of this, how would you have handled this differently to minimize casualties.
