  1. The good works of these god’s servants will be missed as the cloaks made by Dorcas. As Dorcas they will arise to increased strength and life and many under Satans grip will be won by his desperate attempts to put out light shining from the heart of God, His sons and daughters of light.

  2. THESE BARBARIANS THAT HAVE NO HUMANITY IN THEM SHOULD BE DESTROYED FOR CAUSING TERRIBLE INHUMAN SUFFERINGS ON THE INNOCENT.. I SOLUTE THE KURDS AND THE COALITION FORCES FOR DEFEATING THESE ANIMALS IN KOBANE AND HOPEFULLY VERY SOON IN MOSUL IRAQ AND SYRIA. THE KURDS DESERVE TO LIVE IN PEACE AND FREEDOM

  3. I have never understood, why after the our genocide we didn’t pack up and left these countries. Muslims never liked us anyway. We had to learn this in hard way. Well, now we do! A Radical Muslim wants to get rid of us and moderate Muslim wants the radical Muslim to do the dirty job. These are not humans, these are subhumans equal to Barbarians and Nazis.
    I just don’t get it.It is matter of time before they get more in numbers exponentially and take over all of the middle east. We have been massacred number of times in history. Why we don’t get of these places. A place with a mosque and we DO NOT Belong there. These savages have no mercy on Christian values. In fact they have no mercy on any value system. This is what they want a Caliphate!
    I just hope we intensify our Aerial campaign to take these savages back to Flintstones times.

  4. Does anyone doubt that this is a continuation of what the Ottomans started a hundred years ago to create a Sunni empire. Read the news, see the parallels, back then the Turks used the Kurds to empty historic Armenia from its indigenous Christian population, and now a band of rabid Muslim barbarians called ISIS is doing their bidding. Hope some day this blows up in sultan Erodgan’s face.

  5. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Once again history repeats itself. If every non Muslim was armed the outcome would be different. Learn to shoot, and carry every day, no more excuses.

  6. You got it right Vazken.The Turks are telling us we are going to continue to destroy you. Another thing is that Armenians should have armed themselves and fight at the side of the kurds.It is time to move to Armenia or Artsakh.The Armenian government must realize that by now we need more soldiers in Armenia.Turkey will do anything to get rid of Armenia and Artsakh.And believe me Russia will not budge,they themselves want Armenia without Armenians.

  7. ARM YOURSELVES AND FIGHT YOU KEEP ALLOWING HISTORY TO REPEAT THE SAME SAD ABUSIVE STORY NO MORE PEOPLE WAKE UP FIGHT
