According to Nineveh Provincial Council member Anwar Mata “more than 120 thousand Christians [were] displaced from Mosul and Nineveh after ISIS control on Mosul,” noting that, “about 20 thousand of them have migrated Iraq since last year…. The lack of interest of the federal government towards the displaced Christians pushed them to migrate outside the country … the psychological and moral damage was greater than the loss of their money and property as a result of ISIS occupation of Mosul.”
Meanwhile, the loss of Christian property was conducted, not only by “ISIS,” but by local politicians in Iraq. Impostors and fraudulent groups, thanks to corrupt officials, have managed toacquire illegal possession of thousands of houses belonging to Christian families in Baghdad, who fled the city after the U.S-led ousting of Saddam Hussein uncorked a virulent jihad on them.
Mohammed al-Rubai, member of the city council of Baghdad, said that almost 70 percent of Christian houses in Baghdad have been expropriated illegally, and property titles were forged with the tampering of land registers carried out thanks to the connivance of dishonest bureaucrats. The NGO “Baghdad Beituna” has calculated that the violations of Christian properties carried out with the complicity of corrupt public officials were about seven thousand. Even members of the political and military apparatus have enjoyed the “legalized” theft of Christian properties.

The lady is wrong wrong wrong, she wants to let the muslims loose? They convert wherever they go into satanical environment. If they are so good as she says, why the hell thry leave thie corruptrd lands and way of being, to go to Europe to also displace it? Tellit as it is, we all see the corruption abound.

Christ prophesied that the world would persecute and kill His followers because of their hatred for Him Matthew 10:22() as the world hated Him, it would hate Christian followers of Him (John 15:18).
The hatred translates into every form of abuse and maltreatment..

Islamic state – muslims.
Iraqui authorities – mostly (if not entirely) muslims.
No surprise there…

Angemon said: “‘Both the Islamic State and Iraqi authorities abuse Christians.’
“Islamic state – muslims.
Iraqui authorities – mostly (if not entirely) muslims.’”
Indeed.
The one (the latter), we support, tout as a great example of a worthwhile spending of the lives of our sons and daughters, their dreams, their limbs; to say little of the troves of our coffers; the former, we aim to kill.

Ethnic cleansing. Normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

U.S. is 239 years old,… Proof what humans can do without Islam. Any Questions?

“the violations of Christian properties carried out with the complicity of corrupt public officials…” – Baghdad Beituna.
The motivation isn’t corruption… it’s Islam.
Why haven’t the public officials corruptly helped themselves to Muslim properties, after all many Muslims also fled the conflict zone?

As I have said numerous times on here, it was better to leave Saddam alone. At least he was good to Christians and protected them.

Indeed. Amen to that.
