Pope condemns Christian killings in Iraq, India
Once again there are uproars over the attacks against the Christians by Hindus in northern Iraqi and Mosul. Although the attacks have lessened they are still going on forcing Christians out of their homes. Pope Benedict XVI steps in again and ask that “political and religious leaders to defend them.” He also asked for others to step in.
This religious conflict between the Hindus and Christians is affecting the lives of many. I think it is good that Pope Benedict has decided to join the fight. He has made comments in the past. I’m glad that the attacks are slowly calming down but none of these attacks are necessary.

I agree that Pope Benedict is correct is asking for help with this issue. Unfortunately the Pope only has "dominion" over some Christians, Catholics, and will most likely not be acknowledged by the warring Hindus. Unfortunately both sides and their leaders must agree to peace. I must admit though, this is a positive, peaceful message that the Pope has sent.
It seems funny to me that these two groups are in conflict. Especially since Hindu's are suppose to practice non-violence, and peace. However, it is good that the Pope is trying to be proactive in resolving the problem.
