Christians "Exterminated" in Iraq

Chuck Colson writes an eye-opening article about the recent murder of at least 58 Christians at Our Lady of Salvation Catholic Church in Baghdad at the hands of Muslim extremists. He also exposes the Western media's inattention to the persecution of Christians throughout the world, especially when that persecution comes at the hands of Muslims. Read Colson's article here.  To MSNBC's credit, they appear to have covered the killings in an honest and fair manner, saying "Islamic militants have systematically attacked Christians in Iraq since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime."

Christmas Invasion

In Chuck Colson's book, The Faith, written in collaboration with Harold Fickett, he includes a chapter entitled "The Invasion."
He describes an experience he had as a young Marine when he was part of an invasion with a flotilla of warships, including an aircraft carrier, in activities off the coast of Guatemala that broke the back of the Communist insurgency, and then he goes on to declare how that military event pales in comparison with the invasion of Normandy on D-day, June 6, 1944, the largest seaborne landing in history. He writes about the invasion of Normandy being the first successful opposed landing across the English Channel in nine centuries.
