The vulnerable Christian Assyrian nation (also known as Chaldean and Syriac), the indigenous people of the land, have yet again come under fire in Iraq. Thousands of Kurdish Muslim men took to the streets after a Fatwa (religious decree) was issued by a Muslim cleric at a Friday prayer on December 2, 2011. The Fatwa ordered the Islamists to assault those who violate the Sharia Law. Numerous Christian businesses were destroyed by fire as the criminals stood by watching, congratulating one another for their supposed victory. Video shot by bystanders show men chanting Alah-O- Akbar (God is Great) as they approached Christian stores. These crimes against humanity create a renewed fear in the hearts of a community which has been reduced from 1.4 million prior to 2003 to currently a mere 600,000.
I am posting this because the media does not cover much of what happens to Catholics and other Christians in Iraq. If you want to learn more, please go to www.iraqichristianrelief.org. Please pray for your brothers and sisters in Iraq.
Thank you.
