Crazy

IRAQ
Kidnappers Murder Church Elder - Compass DirectYesterday, grieving Christians in Iraq's northern city of Mosul completed three days of mourning for a murdered Presbyterian Church elder, only hours before another Iraqi clergyman was grabbed off the streets of Baghdad. (He has since been released.) Identified only as 69-year-old Elder Munthir, the murdered Christian had been kidnapped after leading worship services at the National Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Mosul on November 26. His body was found four days later. According to one Mosul source who described the kidnappers' conversations, "They said, 'We will cut his throat. We will take revenge for the Pope's words ... We will kill all the Christians, and we will start with him.'" In Baghdad, the Chaldean Catholic Patriarchate confirmed that another clergyman - Father Samy Abdulahad - was kidnapped from his car as he left his church in the Al-Sinaa district of the capital, near the University of Technology. Pray God will comfort the friends and families of those who are mourning, assuring them their loved ones have received crowns that no one can take away. Revelation 3:5,11

We are dealing with crazies! How can you negotiate with such people?
