Catholic Archbishop Latest Iraq Kidnap Victim

Mosul, Iraq - The Vatican announced that an Archbishop has been kidnapped in Mosul. Archbishop Basile Georges Casmoussa, 66, of the Syrian Catholic Church was abducted while walking in Mosul's eastern neighborhood of Muhandeseen.

Tens of thousands of Christians live in Mosul, a hotbed of terrorist insurgents. Many Christians there have been attacked in recent months.

It is unknown what the motive for the kidnapping is. The Vatican has demanded the Archbishop's release.

	Par for the course
	It just goes to show you that arab muslims (or muslims in general) are sub-human and should be treated as such. Sadly, the U.S. government would rather spend it's time prosecuting it's soldiers for doing their job.

	@catbytes
	My, what a medieval way of thinking. Do you think muslims don't feel pain like 'normal' humans, or that they should just all be holed up in camps and gassed or something?

	@catbytes
	I really hope you're being sarcastic. I'm muslim and I live in the US. You think everyone like me should be locked up and placed into detainment camps for being "sub-human"? I could say the same for ultra-conservative, jerry-falwellish right-wingers such as you. That type of thinking is what causes crap like this to happen in the first place. And FYI, the concept of "race" in humans is genetically non-existant. "Race" is a stigma more associated to culture than it is to genetics. There is probably about as much genetic difference between you and your neighbor across the street as there is between you and some random person from the middle east. Take an Anthropology class sometime and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

	@Zygo & Desi
	In a word, yes.

	Judging from your photo in your visiting card, it seems that you might have been born before WWII started. But who knows, you could also be a 14-year old using your dad's picture.... Fake picture or not, 14 years must definitely be you mental age. The fact that you define a whole group as "sub-human" (similar to the the Nazi-word "Unter Menschen") and praise the Abu-Graib torturing, if that's what you referring to, puts you on the same level as the Nazi-scum fascists in those days. Even worse, you learned absolutely nothing from the past which makes you an idiot fascist. Don't get run over by a truck when you cross the street...

	I dont believe
	this!! you guys are trying to reason with a moron like him lol Ant no point wasting your time on fools like him been there done that and i see no change have a good day ya'all


by:	da_fogotten_one	01/18/2005 01:27 AM

	I dont think he'll be harmed
	The Catholic church are against this war, if they know whats good for them they'll let him go and get some good PR


by:	koultunami	01/18/2005 02:07 AM

	@koultunami
	You're giving them far too much credit for human thought. While it is true they will release him, it will be after they lop off his head. You see, he isn't muslim. Therefore, they will kill him.


by:	catbytes	01/18/2005 02:53 AM

	I'm afraid...
	that I have to agree with catbytes last statement. I don't expect this man to come out alive. This act is meant to cause controversy, and I don't doubt it to be another act of their Jihad - their Holy War.


by:	ofWolfandMan	01/18/2005 10:46 AM

	My god
	I don't expect him to come out alive but Jebus titty-fu**ing Christ Catbytes, your comment is retarded.


by:	vgslag	01/18/2005 11:00 AM

	@ Übermensch Catbytes
	FYI: worse things happened after 9/11. Now, stick your head back in the sand again and get over it.


by:	fonzo	01/18/2005 11:07 AM

	It appears...
	That this story is no longer relevant as he HAS been released! http://news.bbc.co.uk/
