France offers asylum to Mosul's Christians

[doremon]

Aid is distributed to Iraqi Christians who fled to Hamdaniya, east of Mosul

The French government says it is ready to offer asylum to Iraqi Christians forced to flee by Islamist militants in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

Many fled Mosul after the Islamic State (IS) group which seized much of northern Iraq told them to convert to Islam, pay a tax or face death.

Iraq is home to one of the world's most ancient Christian communities.

Two top ministers said, "We are ready, if they so desire, to help facilitate asylum on our territory."

It was a joint message from Laurent Fabius and Bernard Cazeneuve, respectively foreign minister and interior minister in the Socialist government.

A senior Christian cleric in Iraq, Patriarch Louis Sako, estimated that before the advance of IS, Mosul had a Christian community of 35,000 - compared with 60,000 prior to 2003.

According to the UN, just 20 families from the ancient Christian minority now remain in the city, which Isis has taken as the capital of its Islamic state.

Islamic State was previously known as Isis (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant).

On Saturday, France's far right opposition party the National Front organised a rally in Paris in support of Iraqi Christians.

Graffiti on a Mosul church says "real estate property of the Islamic State" - and the "N" letter refers to "Nassarah", the Koranic word for Christians

So the proposal is,iraqi christians displaced due to religious intolerance and bigotry seek asylum in another country filled with bigoted religious fundoos of the same religion.Genius!!

On a serious note.They should take it and leave the craphole country and society they came from.

I have to say, The fate of Arab Christians is one of the most tragic in the Middle East.

and one of the more under-reported tragedies as well.

The atrocities committed on Arab Chrisitians or Chrisitians in the Middle East has been paid scant attention to.

Iraqis Christians are dumb, all they needed to do is pay %8 tax from their income and they could live happy in their cities, instead they choose to flee, they should learn from Christians in Raqqa, Syria.

It's a valid question.Why should us infidels be responsible for muslims?There are 50+muslim countries in the world.Those who wish to migrate or seek asylum can it in any part of the "ummah" world?

After all us filthy kuffrs,evil yehudis and isais,atheists,agnostics are disgusting and anti muslim islamophobes.Why seek to come to these very countries controlled and run by zionists,atheists pagans and the lot who oppress muslims,insult islam and prophet muhammad and is responsible for all the ills in the muslim world?
Seems quite illogical to seek protection and refuge from the very groups of people and countries seeking to destroy islam and muslim world.
