Religious & political leaders offer hope amid despair to persecuted Iraqi Christians

5. It's true

I heard about ISIS killing Christians in parts of Iraq including children from an Iraqi friend of mine (now an American citizen). He was appalled and told me he directed his brother living there (in an area not controlled by ISIS) to open a family house that had been closed since their father died to let some live there who were living in the streets after escaping.

I heard this on Monday or Tuesday (don't remember), so the killings have been going on for at least days before this was posted. According to Salim, Iraqis have been living in peace with Christians for a long time and that Iraqi Shia and Sunni had been as well. He says it is the Saudi Sunni that are causing the trouble, he claims that Isis are mostly sent there from Saudi Arabia (he is Shia if that matters, it doesn't to me).
