My comment:

If Western political ‘leaders’ are unwilling to put a stop to the persecution of Christians in the Middle East, and to put a stop to the destruction of churches and all that is Christian, is it perhaps time for the Pope to call for another crusade? – © Mark

Central African Republic: 'Ethnic Cleansing' of Muslims

BBC: International peacekeepers have failed to prevent the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in the Central African Republic, a human rights group says.

Militia attacks have led to a "Muslim exodus of historic proportions", according to a report by Amnesty International.

Aid groups have warned of a food crisis, as many of the shops and wholesalers were run by Muslims.

The UN's World Food Programme has started a month-long aid airlift.

The roads are too dangerous to transport food without a military escort, WFP spokesman Alexis Masciarelli told the BBC.

This is why the UN agency is taking the more expensive option of flying food in from neighbouring Cameroon. » | Wednesday, February 12, 2014

BBC: 'I'll be last Muslim in CAR': A government minister in the Central African Republic, Gaston Makouzemba, has warned there is a risk of a genocide as communities fight each other on religious and ethnic lines. All communities have been affected by the violence and now many Muslims are fleeing the country, afraid for their lives.

Minority Misery: 'Jihadists Cleansing Kurds in Syria', Thousands Flee

Iraq is facing an unprecedented influx of refugees - almost thirty thousand people have crossed its border with Syria since Thursday. The lion's share of those displaced are Kurds - who have found themselves caught in the middle of the war. And as RT's Paula Slier reports - this is yet another sign that the conflict can't be contained within Syria.

Protests in Croatia over Jailing of 'War Hero' for 'Ethnic Cleansing' Campaign
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Veterans protested on the streets of Zagreb after a popular Croatian general regarded as a national hero was jailed for "ethnic cleansing" war crimes as the price Croatia will pay for joining the EU later this year.


The Croatian government reacted with fury to the UN judgment finding Ante Gotovina guilty of war crimes for commanding "Operation Storm", a 1995 campaign still defended as "a legitimate military operation with the objective of liberating Croatian territory from occupation".

But Gotovina was convicted on nine counts of war crimes, including murder, deportation, persecution and inhuman acts. Mladen Markac, another Croat general in charge of "special" police forces was jailed for 18 years.

Jadranka Kosor, Croatia's Prime Minister, was especially angered by the UN's ruling which named President Franjo Tudjman, independent Croatia's founding father, who died in 1999, as a war crime conspirator along with Gotovina.

"The verdict is unacceptable to the government and we will do everything in our power to change it," said Mrs Kosor.

Gen. Gotovina, 55, a former parachute commando in the French Foreign Legion, commanded the lightning paced Operation Storm campaign that took back the Krajina region, Serbian communities along Croatia's eastern border that was held by Serb rebels early in the Balkan wars. » | Bruno Waterfield, The Hague | Friday, April 15, 2011

Vujadin Popovic, 53, and Ljubisa Beara, 70, were sentenced to life imprisonment for their part in the 1995 killing of up to 8,000 Bosnian Muslims, in the harshest verdicts yet handed down by Yugoslavia war crimes judges.

The men were high-ranking security officers with the army that overran Muslim forces and lightly armed United Nations troops in an area supposed to be a safe haven for Muslims fleeing ethnic cleansing. Both men were found guilty of genocide, extermination, murder and persecution. >>> Bruno Waterfield in Brussels | Thursday, June 10, 2010

Iraqi Christians Are Targets of Cleansing, Committee Told
OTTAWA CITIZEN: One in three a refugee, but Chaldo-Assyrians want to remain in country

Muslim militants are crucifying children to terrorize their Christian parents into fleeing Iraq, a parliamentary committee studying the persecution of religious minorities heard yesterday.

Since the war began in 2003, about 12 children, many as young as 10, have been kidnapped and killed, then nailed to makeshift crosses near their homes to terrify and torment their parents.

One infant was snatched, decapitated, burned and left on his mother's doorstep, the committee was told.

Filham Isaac, speaking for the Nineveh Advocacy Committee, told the human rights committee that Iraqi Christian churches were bombed, clergy murdered and unveiled Iraqi women raped or scarred with acid.

It's part of a systemic -- and very effective -- campaign to ethnically cleanse the area of any non-Muslims, he said. Chaldean and Assyrian Christians, known as Chaldo-Assyrians, were once the largest Christian minority in Iraq. They are also the oldest, descendants of ancient Mesopotamians who adopted Christianity in the first century.
