Iraqi Priest Shot dead in Baghdad
April 5 2008
A local priest has been shot in Baghdad. The priest was walking outside his house when a group of Islam men went driving by and killed the priest. They continued driving and did not get caught. Authority says it was by a group of Islams. There have been many attacks on the area including shootings and bus exploded because of a bomb. Most people believe this is by Islams and the area has taken precaution and has armed guards standing outside of local churches. The Christians in the area are getting very worried that they could be next and they are fleeing the area to stay safe. They realized that it is not just Christians being killed but it is also other religions like Muslim.
Reactions:
- This article relates to the theme of interaction amoung major societies. This is because the two societies are interacting with each other. Even though it is not in a good way they are still interacting. The two societies are attacking one another.
- The background of this article is that they have always been fighting. The two societies have never agreed on how to run their societies.
- This article was written by a insider living in Baghdad.
- This person could be bias because he does not like the Muslims. He could also know people that have died because of them and this could make him feel worse about the Muslim society,
- The point of view that is missing from this article is that of a Muslim. The Muslim society could have a good reason for doing what they are doing and you would need to hear from them to be able to take a side.
- I feel that the Muslims are being wrong to kill a local priest in the Baghdad society. I feel that the leaders of the two societies need to work out their problems so that the killing of innocent people can stop.

I think that the Muslim people have no right to kill innocent people like a Christian priest. That man did not do anything wrong. I think they should leave the fighting between them behind them like during the Crusades and stop killing people.
I agree that the Muslims should not be acting this way. An innocent priest was killed by them, and the Muslims didn't even get caught. It just isn't right that we have to live in a world were people must run away from whatever is going on just to feel safe. We should be able to beleive in whatever faith we want, and not have to think about terrible events like this, just because we don't practice the same beleifs as the Muslims.
