The crisis in Iraq is just starting to be a mess. But why did we invaded this state in 2003? Of course we want their oil amd their trade routes against Shiite Iran or Russia's geopolitical ambitions. What is ironic is that, the Iraqi Christians are the ones paying the high price of the invasion. Countless Christians have fled to Mosul or Kurdistan but they fled from Mosul since the attacks of the ISIS.
Judging by what mainstream media doesn't write about or being ignorant, these steps further the extinction of the thousand year history of Iraq's Christians alltogether. Sad to say but Saddam's downfall just accelerated it. Extremists killed a lot including the infamous Sayedat el-Najat massacre where 58 people were killed.
The ISIS is not just targetting the Christian churches but also the Mosques even by Sunnis. And what stands out is that, they opened the tomb of the prophet Jonah and destroyed it with sledgehammers. Also that of prophet Seth was destroyed. These are both Muslim shrine and a Christian site and being decimated by Godless terrorist groups. Unless the world will take action, these would continue. Gospode Pomiluj.
