Iraqi Christian: “We Have the Honor” of Being Martyred for Christ
We are not leaving our Christianity. We are not leaving our Christ. We are not leaving our faith. And we have the honor that we are the children of the martyrs. We have the honor that everything that is happening to us is because we are Christians.

Experts warn that Christianity could be exterminated in Syria and Iraq within months if the Islamic State (ISIS) continues its genocide.
Most news reports have focused on Muslim refugees (who are not refugees) while ignoring the near extinction and genocide committed against Christians by Islamists in Syria and Iraq.
The entire region is biblically historically and spiritually significant. The Bible tells of the Apostle Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. Today, some Christians in the town of Maaloula, Syria, still speak Aramaic – the language of Jesus. Numerous biblical “heroes of the faith” lived throughout the Levant, including modern-day countries of the Middle East and Gulf states.
Prior to the Obama/US-led overthrow of Assad, and introduction of ISIS, the largest number of Christians living in the Middle East, lived in Aleppo, Syria. Now they are facing extinction. Jean-Clement Jeanbart, the Greek Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo, told The UK Express,
“Many people have been abducted, many people have been killed, many people have been beheaded, many people have been persecuted, it is a terrible situation. They do not accept anyone different. Anyone who is not like them and with the same choices has not got a right to live.”
Jeanbart added that he would, “die at the hands of ISIS to defend Christians in the Syrian city.”
