What a shame!
ISIS or ISIL or IS terrorists have been throwing Christians out of Iraq. These terrorists declared Christians have to convert to Islam, or to pay tax for being Non Muslims, or to be slaughtered.
Before US invasion of Iraq in 2003, Christian population was 1.4 million. More than half of the population already left Iraq. Some won’t leave though. They want to die in their homeland. They believe Jesus and Marry will save them. And some won’t leave because they have nowhere to go.
Aramaic-speaking Assyrians have left Iraq ending over 6,000 years of Assyrian history. They have lived in Iraq for over 6,000 years, converting to Christianity over 2,000 years ago. Long before Islam was born and travelled towards Iraq.
ISIS or ISIL or IS terrorists have been killing people whoever oppose them. They have almost wiped out Christians. I wonder why no one is trying to stop these terrorists from killing, slaughtering, banning, banishing innocent people?
Prabhakaran says
I totally agree with Taslima
busterggi says
Somehow I doubt Christians were living in Iraq (or anywhere else) over two thousand years ago. Do the math.
Taslima Nasreen says
Assyrians converted to Christianity in the 1st century CE.
busterggi says
But not by 14CE which is 2000 years ago.
I know, I’m in some sort of pedeantic mood today.

Because they are so concerned with the events in the Gaza Strip, which is small beer compared to what’s going on in Iraq and Syria. People have a hard time concentrating on more then one thing at a time.
Marcus Ranum says
It’s reasonable to be concerned with Gaza, because the US Government is financially and politically supporting what’s going on there – there’s a higher sense of culpability and therefore heightened concern with Israel’s crimes.
If the US was supporting Syria or ISIS you’d probably see more coverage of those issues.

They have nothing to steal?
