Thanks for posting that. I was pretty shocked since everyone who has been over there say the Kurds have always protected the Christians ( even some of the Iraqi muslims protect Christians, or at least they used to). Saddam, may his soul rot in hell, protected the Christians
“Saddam, may his soul rot in hell, protected the Christians”
Not quite so simple. While his Baathist movement allowed Christians into it’s ranks, he still pursued a policy of Sunni Arab suprematism. Christians just like Sunni Kurds and Shia Turkomen suffered greatly from Saddam’s Arabization of the Mossul and Niniveh area. Assyrians were also slaughtered in the genocidal anti-Kurdish Anfal campaign.
They did protect the Christians.
The difference not is the Leaders in Iraq, Not the Kurds themselves.
I think WND got bad info on part of this. I have a Kurd friend in Syria who told me about corruption in the Iraq Government behind this. Influenced by Iran. I don’t need to tell you how Iran treats Christians.
