{UAH} CHRISTIANS: 'WE ARE DYING, AND THE WORLD IS TOO BUSY WITH GAZA TO CARE:'

Mr. Mulindwa,

As the orgy of condemnation against Israel in the wake of the Gaza war continues, Christians in Iraq are doing their best to be heard above the din while they still have a voice. The radical Sunni movement ISIS, now known simply as the Islamic State, has been happy to have the Gaza war as cover as it completes its conquest of northern Iraq. “We can do anything now the world is looking only to Gaza,” an Islamic State official said recently. The UN Special Rapporteur on minority issues, Rita Izsák, acknowledged that in Iraq “religious minorities are being targeted and their members subjected to abductions, killings or the confiscation of their property by extremist groups.” And yet, the world body continues to focus disproportionate (they like the word) attention on Israel and its conflict with Hamas, a fact that had Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor fuming as he addressed the UN General Assembly recently: “It might be too much to ask you to stand on our side in this battle between civilization and barbarism, but at least have the decency to swallow your selective outrage while Israel wages war against the extremist groups seeking to eradicate the values that we all hold very dear,” he said. Prosor accused the UN of complicity in the slaughter taking place in Iraq and elsewhere thanks to its “allowing organizations like Hamas to continue to exist in the Middle East.” (Israel Today/Ryan Jones)

Is this what Europe, the UK and North America want to happen in their societies and cultures? Hamas and Islamic Jihad are no different from ISIS or any other terrorist group.
