"There is a park in Mosul,” Mark Arabo told “where they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick and have them in the park.” According to Arabo, women are being raped, and then murdered, and men are being hanged."

“We are being slaughtered!” she sobbed, her voice raw and worn out, as seen on this parliamentary video. “We are being exterminated! An entire religion is being exterminated from the face of the Earth. In the name of humanity, save us!”

"Medan världen riktar blicken mot Gaza sker en etnisk och religiös rensning på Nineveslätten i Irak. --- Tusentals journalister är just nu på plats i Gaza för att rapportera om kriget där. Det är givetvis bra. Men hur kan en pågående utrensning av ett stort område tillåtas vara i medieskugga?"
Hamas är också en terroristorganisation (bloggarens kommentar).
Petition: "Save the Iraqi Christian community"
http://www.citizengo.org/en/9810-save-iraqi-christian-community?tc=fb&tcid=5602835
Today, the world is witnessing the mass persecution and genocide of the Iraqi Christian population. Sadly, the international community has expressed very little concern about their fate, with few coming to their aid. The disappearance of the Christian community in Iraq presents a threat to humanity. Who will be next?

"While the world fixates on the conflict between Israel and Hamas—and while most mainstream media demonize Israel for trying to survive amid a sea of Arab-Islamic hostility—similar or worse tragedies continue to go virtually ignored.
As Reuters reported:One of the most ancient Christian communities in the world, that of Iraq—which already had been decimated over the last decade, by Islamic forces unleashed after the ousting of Saddam Hussein—has now been wiped out entirely by the new “caliphate,” the so-called Islamic State, formerly known by the acronym “ISIS.”

“CHILD I BAPTIZED CUT IN HALF BY ISIS": This is horrible! Canon Andrew White, the Anglican Bishop of Baghdad, says a five-year-old boy he baptized was cut in half by radical Muslims when they attacked the Christian town of Qaraqosh last week.
"I’m almost in tears because I’ve just had somebody in my room whose little child was cut in half,” White said. “I baptized his child in my church in Baghdad. This little boy, they named him after me – he was called Andrew.”
Please pray for the little boy's family and Bishop White as he continues to minister in the midst of very difficult and dangerous times in Iraq." (George Thomas).

Folkfördrivning av kristna:

"Kristna hem har märkts med den arabiska bokstaven för N, som står för Nasrani – ett ord som kommer från Nasaret, Jesus hemstad, och betecknar kristna i regionen. Parallellen till Hitlertysklands märkning av judar är oundviklig."
