IRAQ - Shiite Leader Muqtada al Sadr Creates a Committee for the Return of Illegal Expropriations from Christian Property Owners
Agenzia Fides ^ | 1/4/21

Mosul (Agenzia Fides) - The Iraqi Shiite leader Muqtada al Sadr, head of the Sadist political group who enjoys strong representation in the Parliament of Baghdad, has ordered the creation of a Committee in charge of collecting and verifying news and complaints regarding cases of illegal expropriations from Christian property owners in various regions of the country.

The decision was communicated in a statement published in the first few days of 2021, in which the names of the collaborators of Muqtada al Sadr chosen as members of the Committee are indicated, as well as the e-mail addresses and Whats App accounts to which the Christians can send ownership documents concerning real estate - houses and land - illegally expropriated in recent years by other people or groups of people.

The intention of the operation launched by the Shiite leader is to restore justice and end violations of the property rights of the "Christian brothers", including those for which members of the Shiite movement led by al Sadr were responsible.

The request to report cases of illegal expropriations suffered is also addressed to families of Christians who have left the country in recent years. Complaints about abuse against Christian property owners can be sent to the committee by the end of next Ramadan.

On the morning of Sunday 3 January 2021, a delegation sent by Muqtada al Sadr and led by Sheikh Salah al-Obaidi visited Chaldean Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako to offer the Head of the Chaldean Church a message of congratulations for the Christmas season, together with a copy of the document with which the Shiite politician set up the Committee in charge of collecting documentation on houses and land that were previously owned by Christian owners and illegally expropriated

Maybe I’ve had a stroke. Are we now supporting Muqtada al-Sadr?

Saddam Hussein protected Iraqi Christians, probably for cynical religious-political power-balancing reasons, but he protected them nonetheless

They’ll take the Christians hostage in their war with the Sunnis.

It is more likely al-Sadr is trying to undermine those who threaten his political position.

I’m wondering if he wants the originals, copies, outing the Christians and burning the evidence?

It’s not up to us to support or oppose foreign leaders.

This foolish practice has cost us 80 000 lives, hundreds of thousands of young lives ruined, trillions of dollars, and yielded no gain.

I’m quite sure al-Sadr has a lot of support in the former vilayets of Basra and Mesopotamia, probably not so much in Mosul, and none of it is any of our business.

“Muqtada al Sadr, head of the Sadist political group”

Well I for one find that kind honesty rather refreshing.

Christian suppression under a different name.

Islam has been at war with Civilization for 1500 years. We are now in the latest escalation of that war. It is a war we dare not lose...

Of course, SloJo and Ho may think otherwise...

I do not support being world police or globalism.

I actually just watched a clip tonight of Perot, Bush, and Clinton. Perot stated the giant sucking sound going south. Perot was right.

“Step forward all Christians!

Gather here. Line up. Identify all property of yours.

We will take care of you!”

First guy should be the bishop. See what happens to him first.

The Bath party was founded by a "Christian". Saddam's foreign minister, Tariq Aziz, was one too. The Iraqi Christians mostly supported the Hussein regime, which in turn protected them from the Kurds, who one must remember had eagerly taken part in the Armenian genocide.

I think it’s gonna eventually be religion vs humanists/leftists/communists. You see USSR, China and leftist Nazis want devotion to the state/creation/elites. Not to say mussies will become our buddies overnight but look at what Trump has done for peace between mussies and Jews lately. I think a lot of Muslims know China isn’t their friend either. Don’t know but Mookie making a peaceful gesture is something
