A Parliament member in Iraq has called for a Christian region to be established in the north.
11/29/2010 Iraq (AKI) – A Christian member of parliament in Iraq has has called for a Christian region in the north of the country after a series of violent attacks, including one in which 58 Christians were killed while worshipping in a Baghdad church in late October, and other subsequent attacks, continue to threaten their lives.
…
Kana’s idea comes after Iraq’s president Jalal Talabani’s appeal to Christians earlier this month that they move to Iraq’s autonomous northern Kurdistan region as a means to escape extremist attacks against them, until the government can assure their security.
…
Many of Iraq’s approximately 500,000 remaining Christians are living in fear of their lives after the continuing attacks and death threats unless they leave the country.
