LONDON – An Iraqi archbishop has predicted a new wave of emigration from Iraq involving Christians who have tired of waiting for their situation to improve.
Chaldean Catholic Archbishop Louis Sako of Kirkuk said many Christians taking refuge in northern Iraq were determined “to leave the country for good” after concluding that, nearly seven years after the invasion of Iraq by a U.S.-led coalition, it was still unsafe to return to their homes in the South.
He told the British branch of Aid to the Church in Need, a charity set up to help suffering and persecuted Christians, that a lack of jobs and services in the Kurdish north would speed emigration.

If I had been a Christian in Iraq , I would be long gone by now. I wouldnt stop until I asked someone where the mosque was, and that person said , what is a mosque.
There are about 35,000 Chaldeans settled around El Cajon, CA. They own lots of businesses here. Principally liquor stores.
That’s the only thing that’s going to work.
I can see this collapsing the Iraqi economy over time. There just happen to be jobs that need somebody who is not constrained by Islam.
All or most of the old former Roman/Byzantine empire was Christian until it was sacked by forced conversions-or-we-will-cut-off-your-head by Arab Moslem hordes. This is why there is a sword on the flag of Saudi Arabia- that is how they spread their “religion”-. They try to do the same thing in Indonesian Christian villages today. “Allow me to ask, how did the Arab Moslems become a majority in northern Mesopotamia and the entire northern Africa when no Arab existed in these lands before the Islamic conquest of the 7th century?
We all know that not a single Arab existed in northern Africa before the Islamic conquest. Some of them existed of course in Jazeera, but they were a minority before Islam.”

“First they came for the Jews in Iraq, then the came for the Christians and other religious minorities... “
Something like that happened in Germany during 1930’s.
...nearly seven years after the invasion of Iraq by a U.S.-led coalition, it was still unsafe to return to their homes in the South.
Islam is a “religion” that was actually an Arab superiority cult founded by a delusional Arab bandit and extended by force at a time when the secular power, the Roman Empire, had collapsed and the spiritual power, Christianity, was divided on the one hand by the growing gulf between the Constantinople and Rome, and on the other by the effects of the several major heresies that had swept the ME.
Islam came into a power vacuum and that was the only thing that permitted it to gain a foothold. The Devil feeds on the void and nothingness because that is his nature, and since most modern Christians and the formerly Christian US in general have abandoned the life-giving Christian view and now accept nothingness as their default position, the Devil is feeling happy. Islam, a “religion” that denies knowledge, art, the body and even love itself, is his cult, and we seem to be completely ready to accept it.
Who is going to give us the rallying call to fight it? Who will sound the horn?
That is exactly what is going to happen. No more nation building!
When the war was first starting, McCain did an interview for MSNBC. He ignorantly stated that there is no history of violence between the Sunni and Shiites!
