Flight of Iraq Christians Resumes amid Surge in Unrest |
2013-11-21 |
[An Nahar] Awshalim Benjamin is desperate to leave Iraq, where a sack of faded photographs is all that remains of the happy life he and his ancient, dwindling Christian community once knew. The 74-year-old waits by the phone for the call that will tell him he can finally depart Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... to join his family in the United States -- and leave behind a 2,000-year-old community that has shrunk by more than half since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. |

#1 If you like your religion, you can keep it. Period ( unless its an inferior product like Christianity is in a Moslem society) |
