Iraq’s Christian leaders have just made a desperate cry for help. Patriarch Louis Raphael I Sako, head of Iraq’s Catholic church, has issued an appeal “to all who have a living conscience in Iraq and all the world.”
The situation for Iraq’s Christians has been steadily deteriorating ever since the 2003 invasion, in part because the U.S. never acknowledged that Christians were being targeted by Islamists and did not prioritize protection of Christians or other minorities.But with the recent sweep through Mosul and other Iraqi cities by the jihadi group ISIS, Iraq’s Christians look to be on the verge of genocide.

ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteI gave a presentation in a church to a group of men on Mosul and Ninevah a couple of years ago. Almost all the Christians have been run out of Mosul, which once had the largest Christian population of any city in Iraq, the country that W saved from the Muslims. Yeah, sure he did.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, Mosul has a large Mosque dedicated to Jonah (Yunus), who is also a Muslim saint.
Check out my last post. There are zero now.
DeleteWell, I never understood how a Christian can live in a Muslim country. A leader at my SBC church asked at a lunch table "Do you pray for the terrorists?". I responded "Of course, I pray for them to choke to death on their own vomit.". Pretty well stopped that discussion. Heh.
ReplyDeleteLove it! :)
