Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
<blockquote>“We have so devalued human life in our society that for many people it is a small thing to kill another person.”

A car bomb and mortar attack in Baghdad has killed at least 9 and wounded dozens.
Two people were also killed in Chikuk during a mortar attack.
The attacks are attributed to the Islamist militant group Islamic State of Iraq who has been targeting Shia Muslims since the departure of US troops. The ISI is a union of several terrorist organizations including al-Qaeda who want to instill radical sharia law on the country.
The attacks come on the heels of a bombing outside a Shia shrine Saturday that killed 11 people and wounded dozens.
The Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha (the Feast of the Sacrifice) begins on Friday and authorities are warning of the possibility of more attacks on civilians.
