Baghdad (AsiaNews) - The populations, Christian and otherwise, from northern Iraq "are afraid of a return of the Islamic State (IS, formerly Isis)", which could exploit the Turkish offensive against the Kurds and the consequences of chaos , to close ranks and reconstitute.
In an exclusive interview with AsiaNews Mgr. Basil Yaldo, auxiliary of Baghdad and close collaborator of the patriarch Louis Raphael Sako, confirms the fears of a "new rise" of the jihadist movement linked to the military operation launched by Ankara in northern Syria and now in its second week. "We have already experienced this - the prelate continues - and there is a strong fear that it may return".
The Baghdad auxiliary maintains that the war launched by Turkey against Kurds in northern Syria is bound to cause repercussions in neighboring Iraq. As stressed in an appeal by the Chaldean archbishop of Erbil, there is a strong risk of a new wave of refugees in a territory that still bears the consequences of the rise of ISIS in summer 2014.

Pope Francis by decrying the sale and use of arms which Christian’s could use to defend themselves or warn the faithful not to proselytize or be “fundamental” to discourage conversions are used by Islamists .Because they appear to support Islam’s mono theistic claims which is the way Islamists interpret the Pope’s remarks. Also supported by Francis’s refusal to condemn or refute when those theological Islamic claims authorizing murder, deceit and deceptions are used while committing these atrocities becomes the unintended result..
This is from the Christians of Bagdad, who have been oppressed by Muslims for centuries.
the Islamic state is sponsored and armed by the Saudis, Qataris and Turkey.
