The devastation of the ancient Christian community in Iraq is well known.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Christianity in the Middle East is shattered. The ancient faith tradition lies beaten, broken, and dying.
The people of Iraq have suffered greatly.
It's astounding the degree to which these communities are intermarried. Iraq is a crazy quilt of ethnicities and religious sects.
Ethno-sectarian violence is a particular concern in Iraq, as it is a cancer that continues to spread if left unchecked.
Christians were regarded as separated from society and therefore destructive of the Greco-Roman way of life.
It's what the Iraqi people are going through right now. They have encountered a victorious, hostile force-but, you know, there they still are. There their culture is, there their history is, they're not going anywhere.
I know the established Christian theology... I know the enemy, but the enemy doesn't know me. Thus the enemy has already lost the war.
The advent of self-government for the Iraqi people is a watershed moment in their history.
By 2007, Iraqi society had completely collapsed.
Christians are being systematically exterminated.
