Watchdog Urges US Not to Forget About Persecuted Christians in Iraq
As violence against Christian minorities continues in Mosul, Iraq, Carl Moeller of Open Doors USA worries that the U.S. has turned its focus away from these persecuted Christians, as the U.S. no longer has a military presence in the Middle Eastern country.
Moeller, president/CEO of human rights watchdog Open Doors USA, calls the continued violence against Christians in Mosul a "religicide," saying in a recent statement: "Christians in cities like Baghdad and Mosul are gripped by terrorism. They are fleeing in droves. [On August 16] it was reported that at least 20 people died in blasts and shootings across the country."
The violence began in 2003, when U.S. military forces overthrew Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. The subsequent U.S. occupation of Iraq resulted in immense violence between Christians, the minority in the country, and Muslims....
There has not been enough pressure put on American Presidents, notice the plural version of that word? to get them to do something about the problem. G.W. Bush just added to the problem, for example.
and the american church said, "uh, oops, uh, sorry."
the fruit of our labor right here to see.
as its been since the days of Christ -- those who try to merge church/state will end up persecuting their own to build the kingdom that Christ never authorized them to build.
We should well remember what happened to those who tried to build the Tower of Babel.
