*Please keep the sharing of Christ's message of "love and peace" at the center of your thoughts and prayers for the war-torn Middle East. We must share the true message of "God of Peace" in Christ not "God of war/destruction." While the vast majority of Middle East Muslims are brainwashed into thinking that forced religion at the point of a sword/gun is acceptable, we must do whatever we can to show them the logical fallacies behind such claims that "God created us so that we can kill each other..."

DUHOK, Iraqi Kurdistan -- Fahmi Yusef Mansour is the owner of Iraq’s biggest beer supply in the village of Seji near Duhok city in Iraqi Kurdistan.Mansour’s beer storage was stormed and torched by an angry mob during the riots in the province earlier this month.

“We also did not expect anything to happen because this is a Christian place and there are no Muslims,” Mansour told Rudaw.
Mansour was in Dohuk the day his store was attacked. He rushed back and tried to protect his business with the help of some relatives carrying guns. According to Mansour around 2,000 people, the majority of them teenagers had attacked his beer storage.
Mansour believes some school teachers are responsible for instigating the young people against Christians.
“Many teachers encourage student [sic] to oppose Christians and their places of worship,” he said, adding that a number of teenage students had thrown stones at the local church.
Two students detained by the security forces have allegedly confessed that their teacher had incited them to attack the church.
“This kind of culture did not exist in Kurdistan’s society and should not be allowed,” said Mansour.
Mansour maintained that his businesses sustained approximately half a million dollars of losses in addition to US$ 300,000 stolen from his safe.
Liquor stores are mainly owned by Duhok province’s Christian families. According to Mansour the livelihood of around 500 Christian and Muslim families who rely on the liquor business was affected by the riots....
After coming to America, Pastor Wurmbrand never owned a house or a car. Being older, he took driving lessons but was kindly told by the instructor that it would be better to save his money. On one of their trips flying overseas, he and Sabina would approach an airline counter with about 12 suitcases of clothes they had purchased at a used clothing store, clothes to be carried into communist Eastern Europe for persecuted Christians. The stunned airline agents crumbled under their heartfelt appeal and let them take the clothes.
