Reply #5: iraqi resistance denies deliberately targeting (iraqi) christians [View All]

they do ofcourse target the invading american "crusaders" and their "puppets" but have issued statements in the past denying it.

"Earlier, the Iraqi Resistance in Mosul had issued a statement that was distributed to mosques and four churches in which they declared that they were not behind the attacks on churches that had taken place in the city, accusing the Zionist Mossad and the US forces of being behind bombings that have targeted those Iraqi Christian establishments. The Resistance statements said that the aim of such sabotage was to sow sectarian discord and conflict between Iraqi Muslims and Christians. The statement did warn, however, that if the Resistance sensed that local Christians were sympathizing with or growing close to the occupation, that would wind up with their turning into lackeys of the aggressors."
