Terrorists kidnap Catholic archbishop in Iraq

Terrorists in Iraq have attacked Christianity yet again:

A Roman Catholic archbishop in Mosul, Iraq, has been kidnapped, the Vatican said Monday. It identified the kidnapped man as Archbishop Basile Georges Casmoussa, 66, of the Syrian Catholic Church, one of the branches of the Roman Catholic Church. "The Holy See deplores in the firmest way such a terrorist act," a Vatican statement said, demanding that he be freed immediately. According to reports from Baghdad, Casmoussa was walking in front of his church in Mosul's eastern neighborhood of Muhandeseen when he was abducted.

This latest assault is brought to you by adherents of the Religion of Peace.
