For one thing, I question the accuracy of the article, that there are only 500,000 Christians left in Iraq. For another, you said the whole country was in a shambles, which is obviously not true. Eighty percent of the violence in Iraq is taking place within a 30 mile radius of Baghdad. That is an area the size of LA county in a country the size of California. Also, a lot of Iraqis are leaving the country because of the violence, but many are leaving to find work, just as they and many others have been doing in various Middle Eastern countries for years.

Iraqi Christians Fleeing Violence Face Uncertain Future

Not nearly as 'uncertain' as NON-Christians!

[Elsie]

 

 

NIV Psalms 14:6
  You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.

 

NIV Jeremiah 29:11
  For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

NIV Romans 8:38-39
 38.  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,  neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
 39.  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Iraqi Christians are just that - Christians. They've been Christian at least six centuries longer than Muslims have been Islamic.

AMEN!!!!

Time for the less than 500,000 Iraqi Christians still in Iraq and anyone else there who genuinely loves freedom to get out (and don't look back) so that we can do what needs doing. Think: Lot leaving a place that had ceased to have an excuse to exist. Iranian and Syrian Christians might prudently decide to follow their lead.
