Violent Persecution Continues in Iraq Print E-mail

Iraqi Church Reports of persecution against Iraqi Christians were increasing in 2007, so Dr. Gary Cass, along with other ministers, flew to Baghdad to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Al Malaki. While there, they urged that Malaki’s government protect the minority Christian community. Al Malaki made assurances that his government wouldn’t tolerate violence against religious minorities, but Iraqi Christians continue to be harassed and murdered.

 

Recently an Iraqi Christian, 34-year-old Hani Salim Wadi, was shot in front of his home in Kirkuk leaving behind a wife and daughter. Other Christians in Kirkuk have been the target of intimidation and violence.

 

The Christian community in Iraq is one of the most ancient Christian communities. This historic Christian community must be protected by the new Iraqi government.

 

TAKE ACTION:

 

Help us urge the State Department to pressure the Iraqi government to protect our Iraqi Christian brothers and sisters.
