Murder of Christians in Mosul, Iraq

Here's a sad article from McClatchy 'Iraq's Christians under attack again as elections approach,' which details a campaign of murder being directed against Christians in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. This has been happening in the last two weeks.

Apparently the murderers' aim is to intimidate Christians to not participate in the upcoming elections. Many Christians, perhaps two-thirds of those in Iraq, have already been compelled to flee their homes in Iraq and become refugees due to the turmoil of the Iraq War.

  1. A guy from Hong Kong once busted up laughing at a t shirt with that cool logographic writing on it. In answer to the question: what does it say? he said, "you don't want to know, but some silkscreen artist is feeling really satisfied that some dumb American is walking around with that boldly emblazoned on his chest."any one know what the above comment says?
