1. How, pray tell?????????? Uh..............

because they are fundie CHRISTIANS and theirs is the only "true" religion and those who practice other religions (muslims) should be killed and if innocents are harmed, so be it?? Just a theory. (please note sarcasm)

2. You answered your own question

"Iraqi christians are being persecuted by Mulsim fundementalists and fleeing to Syria."

3. because the fundies hate Muslims

It's as simple as that. The Pat Robertson wing of Christianity can tolerate no other religions on this planet.

4. Some of them want to bring about the Battle of Armageddon...

so that Jesus can return, they'll go flying right out of their socks and up to heaven...

In other words, they're stark raving crazy! :crazy:

5. Yep--I agree.

I don't buy it one bit when people try to cast the muslims as "trouble makers". Muslims are generally very tolerant of other religions.

6. Most Christians were against the Iraq war...even 'conservative' ones...
