That’s outrageous. It’s also, as I’ve told you before, not surprising. Iraq’s Christians have been ignored from the start so, in that sense, nothing has changed. What has changed is that we may leave without securing their future, and there would be a genocide of Christians.
American Christians can’t sit by and let this happen. Their blood would be upon our hands. And to abandon our brethren would be grossly immoral and cowardice.
So am I asking you to pray for our leaders and then let them know what you’re praying for: the wisdom to find a solution that does justice to all Iraqis, including Christians.
