Dear friends,
Today we are facing a new face of evil in Iraq.
Evil that is growing day after day and it is time to stop it.
This evil is presented in targeting the Christian people of Iraq by Al-Qaeda and there alliance members.
We need your help in distributing this news around the world.
Please forward this email to all your friends and relatives.
Send it to your Church leaders, MP’s and leaders and ask them to help Iraqi people and specially Christian.
We must save the Christian of Iraq and you can help.
Canada is been a great help to all people in war zones and it is time to help Iraqi people and specially Christian.
Last year one of my first cousins got killed by Al-Qaeda.
Last week, another first cousin of mine has been kidnapped in Baghdad.
Thank God we had the chance to save his life by paying a ransom of $15,000 US.
A question mark here? Are we funding the terror by doing that?
This is a simple case.
There are cases which are much worse.
We believe that you can help to get our voice heard around the Globe and We trust that you will take our suffering in consideration.

The historical roots of Chaldean Syriac Assyrian Christians of Iraq date back to more than 7000 years. They are the inheritors of the first civilizations of Mesopotamia developing the human race with scientific achievements and knowledge such as agriculture, irrigation, writing and astronomy.
Christians are one of the oldest constituents of Iraq, they defended their adherence to the soil and integrity of Iraq courageously and together with their Moslems brothers were the first to protect their country working hard for its liberation, development and prosperity through out the centuries.
The Christians of Iraq believe in fraternal living unified with its citizens from other religions and nationalities. The values of love and tolerance became the source of security, stability, peace and harmony. Although the Christians are facing persecution, killing, oppression, forced deportation, converting immediately to Islam or to consign their property and leave the country; they remained deeply related to their country. They look forward to build a common future without war, terrorism and persecution among all Iraqis.
Today, with the lack of security, chaos, and the absence of the rule of law, the Christians, Sabias and Yazidies of Iraq especially in Baghdad and Mosul are facing the worst campaign of ethnic cleansing by fanatic Islamic religious gangs. Daily terrorism is targeted towards the Christians and others minority groups and constantly threatening them to convert to Islam or face the consequences of paying a ransom or deportation.
Iraqi Authorities, security departments, the Invading forces, National and Islamic political powers, religious centres and all Organisations of Civil liberty are aware of the Iraqi Christians tragedy. They have remained silent in particular when the churches were attacked and Christian clergy were killed. These barbaric acts are considered the worst crime against this nation targeting its liberty, dignity, nationalism and future of its country.
Today, the Iraqi Christians need solidarity, support and protection, thus we the signatories ask the authorities and political forces of Iraq to take responsibility. Correcting the legislations and providing a better security system for Christians and other minority groups will protect and secure their social, religious freedom and insure their national rights.
