Your Prayers for the Suffering are Needed.
The Peoples of Iraq UPDATED: July 16, 2015As Iraqi forces prepare to try to recapture the city of Falluja, tens of thousands of civilians find themselves trapped between Islamic State militants ready to use them as human shields and a government suspicious of their loyalties.http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/ ... 6U20150716 This is an ongoing pattern of inflicting the greatest sufferings on the largest amount of innocent peoples and children. The peoples are prevented from leaving with bombs placed around all exits to the city, and snipers shooting at women and children alike in massacres as people seek to flee the fighting. The actions of the black clad jihadis of death and misery - ISIL, are meant to inflict the greatest amount of horror, terror, human misery and suffering upon all those who are unfortunate to live near them on this planet.
Blessings to all who are suffering. May 20, 2015
Right now, as these moments unfold, as we go about our business and lives, there are at least 20,000 Iraqi families who fled Ramadi after ISIL's brutal attacks and slaughter who are now caught, homeless and defenseless, between ISIL (Ramadi) and Baghdad. Baghdadi officials fearful of ISIL members stealing in with the frightened families, will only allow those families or individual who can be 'vouched' for by the people who live in Baghdad, to enter Baghdad.
Thousands of men, women, and children already traumatized by the recent shear savagery of the jihadis of death, now wait without tents, supplies or protection, as ISIL members aligned with the energies of blood lust, attack town after town on their way to Baghdad.
Years and years of ongoing sufferations and tribulations for the Iraqi peoples whose only 'crime' from the beginning has been living on oil rich land.
The Iraqi peoples have lived through President Bush's first war of high tech and chemical weaponry used against them, President Clinton's 'sanctions' which resulted in bombings in 'no fly zones', mass starvation, and the deprivation of supplies, which killed at least a half a million of innocent Iraqi children.
The sufferations of the Iraqi peoples did not end with the election of President George W. Bush.
Even though there was not one Iraqi citizen involved in the planning or aboard the planes which flew into the twin towers of New York, President Bush declared war on the Iraqi peoples aptly named O.I.L. (Operation Iraqi Liberation), which then began years of heightened sufferings and miseries for the Iraqi peoples. Cities and livelihoods were destroyed. The killing and maiming claimed the lives of millions of innocent Iraqis, millions others were displaced.
Many of us will never be able to imagine the horrors ordinary Iraqis experienced as both soldier and private contractor invaded their houses in the middle of the night, tied up the men and boys, separated the women and daughters from their husbands and brothers. Those who were arrested as terrorists, men, women, and teenage girls, were forced to serve time in prisons where rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and perversions of torture were rampant and photographed by American soldiers. These horrors when they could not be suppressed and covered up, were cleverly propagandized to the American peoples in the media as happening to the Iraqi peoples in the name of their 'freedom' and 'democracy' by a few bad apples. Peace came at a price for the Iraqi peoples with a corrupt puppet government put into place, which favored one sect of the Faith over another and years of sectarian revenge killings. Peace also came with drone strikes. Yes Dear Readers, even to this day; Iraqi's continue to endure ongoing collateral killings associated with drone strikes. As we sit tonight, the Iraqi peoples face the savagery of ISIL a group of men and women whose hearts and humanity have been so lost to the forces of darkness that it is difficult to not feel great pity for their souls once they leave this earthly embodiment.
I can understand the peoples of Baghdad are afraid of ISIL entering their city, with just cause. AND I can only openly weep for the innocents who have no money, no means, no protection, nowhere to go as they wait knowing ISIL is near and will kill them. The innocents, who much like before as the ravages of war raged around them, encountered 'green zones' of protection and safety for the few whilst the rest of the peoples, men, women, and children alike, were left exposed to death, disease, starvation, and torture.
Even if we cannot through our hands, protect the fleeing peoples of Ramadi and hundreds of towns in Iraq and Syria who have experienced or will experience the horrors of the jihadis of death, we can through our intentional thoughts and actions (prayer and meditation), hold them in our hearts. See them, witness their plight with empathy, cry with the Mothers and Fathers, Sons and Daughters, Elderly and Children who are suffering so deeply and desperately in body, mind, and spirit. We can be 'with' them as much as our hearts can bear.1:

Displaced Iraqis fleeing Ramadi caught between ISIL and sectarian militiashttp://news.nationalpost.com/news/world ... n-militiasIraqis shut gates of Baghdad to desperate families fleeing terror: Over 20,000 trapped in no man's land at the mercy of advancing ISIS horde after the fall of Ramadi Over 20,000 innocent Iraqis are stranded in a deadly no man's land between ISIS militants in Ramadi and potential safety in Baghdad 60 miles to the east, where they are cruelly being refused entry. The terror group slaughtered over 500 people over the last few days to seize control of Ramadi - their biggest military victory in over a year - before holding a a twisted celebratory parade on its blood-stained streets. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... amadi.html http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/m ... is-attacks What ISIS Really Wants"The Islamic State awaits the army of “Rome,” whose defeat at Dabiq, Syria, will initiate the countdown to the apocalypse."
"...Following takfiri doctrine, the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people. The lack of objective reporting from its territory makes the true extent of the slaughter unknowable, but social-media posts from the region suggest that individual executions happen more or less continually, and mass executions every few weeks. Muslim “apostates” are the most common victims. Exempted from automatic execution, it appears, are Christians who do not resist their new government. Baghdadi permits them to live, as long as they pay a special tax, known as the jizya, and acknowledge their subjugation. The Koranic authority for this practice is not in dispute."http://www.theatlantic.com/features/arc ... ts/384980/“…One month before the strike, the White House said new rules in places like Yemen and Pakistan requiring the military to have "near certainty" it was not going to kill civilians would not apply to strikes in Iraq and Syria.”http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/2 ... 22884.html Prayers for the Syrian Peoples of Palmyra. May Our Hearts Blessings Be With You. Update: May 27, 2015Hundreds of civilians who escaped the Iraqi city of Ramadi after it was seized by ISIS in last week's bloody insurgency have been rounded up and arrested by Iraqi militia - because they were suspected of being terrorists in disguise0:
