What is Really Happening to Iraqi Christians?..."The people want to flee from Iraq and that's it! Enough is enough. How many times do we have to be attacked, displaced, killed? The only thing left is to protect the people that are left. The Church is not the stones—the people are the Church and we can build a new church anywhere. Not here, not anymore." -Displaced Iraqi Christian An article by Tracey Shelton in the Global Post details the harsh conditions Iraqi Christians are now enduring, as they are tired of the persecution by radical Islamists, and now the horror of ISIS who has forced tens of thousands of the minority from their homes under threat of death, causing them to want to leave Iraq altogether.

Holed-up in the garden of St. Joseph's Church in Erbil, Iraq, some of the Christians described what they've left and their loss at what to do next... "We hate violence but we are surrounded by it," Marzana told the Global Post. "We don't want food, or relief aid—we just want to leave." Yousef noted that he'd once visited the US and had been amazed at the "rights" people, children and even animals had, and how most everyone "submits to the law." He told Global Post, "For us, we are civilized, polite, peaceful but we are persecuted here. We are subjected to violence. We are tired of repeated migration. We just want to settle. We want stability. If that means leaving then we will all leave." Please continue praying for the Iraqi and Syrian Christians that they will find a safe place to finally live without constant persecution.
