Who are the Chaldean Christians? They are our brothers and
sisters in Christ, what say you??
For the first time in 2,000 years, there are no Christians
in Mosul. What will become of other Iraqi Christians? A Christian Holocaust is
in our mist. We are actually calling this a Christian genocide… Day by day, it
is getting worse and worse. More children are being beheaded. Mothers are being
raped and killed. Fathers are being hung. Right now, 300,000 Christians are
fleeing Iraq and living in neighboring cities.”
Christians have become a form [of] currency in this tragedy…
I know of one priest who was kidnapped for two months … they asked for a ransom
of $120,000, which the family managed to raise and deliver. … But hours later,
the priest was killed and his body cut up, with pieces of him sent in a box to
the family.
The Islamic State terror group has distributed online photos
of three women believed to be kidnapped Assyrian Christians, warning that if a
ransom is not paid for their freedom, the women will be turned into sex slaves.
Tens of thousands of Iraqi Christians who have fled the
Islamic State terror group to neighboring countries such as Jordan have said
they are stuck in limbo, with nowhere to go and limited ways to provide a
living. Pope Francis has condemned the world's silence on the issue, while an
Iraqi archbishop has said that Christians in the region are hated because they
want to keep hold of their faith.
Muslims Take Christian Girl And Tell Her To Convert To
Islam, She Says She Will Never Deny Christ And Will Never Accept Allah. The
Muslims Tie Her To A Tree And Take Turns Anally Raping Her For Weeks. They Then
Cut A Hole Into Her Body And Rape Her Through The Wound
"The Church is unable to offer and guarantee the
fundamental security that its members need to thrive. It is no secret that
hatred of minorities has intensified in certain quarters over the past few
years. It is difficult to understand this hate. We are hated because we persist
in wanting to exist as Christians. In other words, we are hated because we
persist in demanding a basic human right," His Exc. Mgr. Bashar Matti
Warda, C.SS.R., Archbishop of Erbil, said in a statement to Fides News Agency
The report also features the story of 55-year-old Kharya
Yossuf Abood: “Before Mosul was taken by the Islamic State army, my family and
I fled to the nearby village of Hamadania, in the hope of finding a safe haven.
Then, at 5:30 in the morning on 6 August, in Hamadania, we were awoken by ISIS’
men who started banging on our doors. They gave us three choices: either we
converted to Islam and declared our loyalty to the Islamic State, or we paid a
ransom in order that our lives be spared, the so-called Jizya, or we faced
death by beheading. As the spoke the blade of their swords hovered close to my
neck before they pressed it against my throat.” “ISIS held us captive for ten
days. We were kept inside a house behind Hamadania hospital. We had no water,
no electricity and no food. ISIS’ men would cook for themselves and when they
had finished, they would toss the left overs over to the women in my family, as
if they were dogs. I myself did not eat or drink anything and I still find it
hard to eat normally. I was too disturbed by the whole experience.” Kharya and
his family were set free after a ransom was paid. “We then returned to Mosul in
the hope of reaching Dohuk, a city that is free from the ISIS threat.
Unfortunately, on the border we came across the Peshmerga troops who would not
let us cross the border for fear we may have been terrorist infiltrators. Once
against we were sent back to Hamadania where ISIS militia got hold of us again,
taking us hostage and grabbing hold all our documents, ID cards and passports. Fortunately,
among them was a man from Hamadania I knew, who spared our life.”
