Iraqi Christians are begging for help from the civilized world after Mosul, the northern city where they have lived and worshiped for 2,000 years, was purged of non-Muslims by ISIS, the jihadist terror group that claims to have established its own nation in the region.
Assyrian Christians, including Chaldean and Syriac Catholics, Syriac Orthodox and followers of the Assyrian Church of the East have roots in present day Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran that stretch back to the time of Jesus Christ. While they have long been a minority and have faced persecution in the past, they had never been driven completely from their homes as has happened in Mosul under ISIS. When the terror group ordered all to convert to Islam, pay a religious tax or face execution, many chose another option: flight.
"By 12 noon on Saturday, the Christians -- all of them -- left the city," Yousif Habash, an Iraqi-born bishop of the Syriac Catholic Church, told FoxNews.com.

"Where is the conscience of the world? Where is the United Nations? Where is the American administration to protect peace and justice?"

What can we do to help beyond prayer?
I’m waiting for obama to demand the Christians to stop making up such tales and just go along with the ‘’liberators’’ /s
Unfortunately this country’s regime only helps muslims. Christians are left on their own.
Obama doesn’t even mention them. Harp chick made a gesture at it at State because she was asked.
Wow. They need to start calling themselves “Palestinians,” quick.
Iraqi Christians are wasting their time asking Obama for help..Obama cheers when they die just like he cheers when Nigerian Christians are slaughtered..he only gives a damn when a Muslim dies, then he is mad
Christians did it before...”Onward Christian Soldiers,etc...
You said it.
Moochelle might create a hashtag for them.
They will get help just like the #pleasesaveourgirls girls got.
I never thought I would live to see the day when Christians were persecuted. Truly living in the end times.
Where the heck is the big, tough UN and their Human Rights investigations.
I don't know what will happen first- a race war, a religious war or freedom warriors vs. commies.
At this point, I'm game for any of them and let's get it over with.
Where is the United Nations?
Pre-occupied with Gaza
Where is the American administration to protect peace and justice?
Iraq is in the past...
I am not sure. ISIS got an assist from the Palestinians whose escalations have our SoS Kerry focused on stopping Israel from defending itself rather than focusing on the ISIS threat. Not that Obama or the UN actions would mean anything but I find their warped priorities revealing
Why isn’t the Christian world up in arms on this - the silence is deafening!
You are asking where the Useless Nations are? They are in cahoots with the Muslims
Is there a way for us to send them a few thousand AKs, RPKs, and RPGs along with plenty of ammo?
0bama’s idea oh “HELP” is to send US Taxpayer money to ISIS.
Does anyone know if there is a place to donate or anything to help them?
We can ask our “peaceful” American muzzies to raise their voices in protest to the killing of Christians in the ME by their fellow muzzies, as we are expected by them to support the Palis in the war with Israel.
O we can exhaust ourselves in a taqiyya ‘conversation’.
