After careful consideration, I think they're all thrilled, as some fresh Christian Martyrdom should get other Christians riled up and involved in the War in Iraq on the Side of the Good Guys (that's us, for those of you that didn't buy a program at the gate). I think they look forward to Pope Benedict issuing some fatwahs of his own against the Islamic insurgents.
And, if the Christian Martyrs we get are from one of these fake Christian groups (Orthodox? Nobody at Liberty Road Baptist Church believes Orthodox Christians will get Saved, anyway), all the better. No "real" Christian blood gets spilled but we still get the benefits!
