The Iraqi Christian who told ISIS: ‘If you want to kill me for my faith I am prepared to die here now’

“You must convert,” IS forces told them. “Our faith can promise you paradise,” they added.

Victoria and Gazella responded: “We believe that if we show love and kindness, forgiveness and mercy we can bring about the kingdom of God on earth as well as in heaven. Paradise is about love. If you want to kill us for our faith then we are prepared to die here and now.”

IS forces had no answer. The dozen Christians, who included many elderly and infirm, were let go. One of them had a battered car. Other transport was also arranged and they made it to safety.

"The men then turned around and ran out the door, O'Donnell said. One of the men died right outside the front door, while the other man died at the end of the bar's parking lot, she said. The other two men and the unidentified customer with the gun fled the scene. Authorities are searching for them."

I find the idea of the customer "fleeing the scene" amusing. He'll never pay for drinks in that bar again!

Morning, Glories!

The cobs are all drunk at the Paul Revere memorial party?

Tonight's ONT was supposed to be by a new cob with the handle Patient Zero, but apparently he missed his deadline.

Conservative Treehouse has a map of the distribution of the distribution of alien minors, and suggests a relation with the sudden spike of that entero virus.

Some kind of series of charts (or even an animated GIF or video) illustrating patterns of invasion and infection might be interesting.

Hard to imagine there's enough time to ramp up public fear to implement martial law before this election, no matter how this spreads.

Now the next one… Obama 2nd term extended indefinitely, easy.

Carol, I sympathize on the coffee cleanup. Wish I had your gardening energy. I've got a yard strewn with bits of tree branches from the last storm that all have to be picked up and I really dont feel like it. :/

A bit garbled, there, but good morning sleepy Vic.

The world needs more Ub Iwerks.

Slugs are a known vector for Ebola.

(I just thought, Fenelon's one mention of the big E wasn't filling our per-thread quota.)
