Iraqi Christians

This video is a tribute to the Christians that live in Iraq. While the country is overwhelming Islamic, over one million Christians once lived in Iraq, including a community found in the city of Mousel that were one of the oldest Chistian communities that existed, dating back to first century. However, persecution has caused many Christians to flee Iraq and violent persuection continues to afflict those that stay in their homeland. And while the new government has close ties to the US, it still does nothing to prevent persecution of Christians by their Muslim neighbors.
