Showing great prescience, theosebes recently discussed the specter of Christian persecution in Iraq. This past week saw the bombings of several churches, but radical Islamists deny they did it:
Islamists have posted a message online denying that Iraqi militant groups bombed five churches on Sunday, and accusing an Iraqi politician of responsibility.
"If the mujahedeen (Islamic holy warriors) had wanted to target those churches, they would have made them disappear from the face of earth and nobody would have come out alive," said the message, which was posted late Wednesday on an Islamic website known to be a clearing house for the statements of militant groups.
Regardless of who did it, Iraqis who seek to follow Christ are likely going to find it only gets worse in the coming months.
