BAGHDAD — Baghdad’s Department of Christian Affairs at the Endowment Office of Christians, Yezidis, and Sabean-Mandaeans has taken a significant step towards developing a comprehensive database for Christians in Iraq. To this end, they have launched an electronic statistical form which Christians can fill out at their discretion.

This database is a crucial step towards facilitating the feasibility study of investment and service projects while simultaneously supporting the development of religious and service institutions for Christians. Furthermore, it will serve as a starting point for assessing the importance of future works and projects.

To ensure the success of this initiative, the Department of Christian Affairs has urged the heads of Christian religious denominations in Iraq to encourage their parishioners to fill in the form.

It is worth noting that the results of the form are not considered an official census, as it is optional and not subjected to the criteria of a comprehensive population census.

I do hope no one is stupid enough to register.

Of course, no one will register, as it’s a death sentence.

The government knows this. So they’ll use the lack of response to say “look there are no non-Muslims here. So we can knock down this church! “

Don’t worry...they learned it from the US government whom I’m sure have dossiers on any one who bends a knee to Christ and not to the government.

Persians are a lot smarter than Arabs.

It’s wise to never confuse the two.
