 Goettingen, Gergmany — While Iraq is constantly in world news reports the plight of Iraqi Christians goes mostly unnoticed. According to the Society for Threatened People in Goettingen, Germany, Iraq currently experiences the biggest persecution of Christians of our time.
In fear of murders, bomb-attacks, kidnappings, and torture Christians have been fleeing the country by the thousands.
Approximately 75 percent of the 650,000 Christians in Iraq have been driven from their homes. They have fled mainly to neighboring Syria or Lebanon.
A Christian community with a history of 2,000 years is in danger of becoming extinct, according to the human rights organization.
