Christians in Iraq? Christians in Syria? Where to? Why this exodus?
ISIS and Al Nusra extremist wahhabit factions (the main fighting forces in Syria and Iraq) have been forcing Christians sects and other ethnic minority ethnic communities in Iraq and Syria to leave their houses and leave the country.
Christian sects in this region are the oldest Christians in the history of time.
In the first century they formed dozens of sects, which were later dubbed heretics by Byzantium Empire in the 4th century. Most of them had to flee to Persia, Egypt and inaccessible mountain regions to get away from persecutions.
These terrorist Wahhabi factions are displacing entire population and communities from locations they lived there for centuries.
This photo of an 8th Century BC Assyrian statue excavated from Tell Ajajah, near Hasakah on the Khabour River, was taken in May.
Isis has also bulldozed statues of lions along with Sufi and Shia shrines in the Raqqa province, the militant group’s headquarters.
