New threats against Iraqi Christians

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Thursday April 19, 2007 12:28author by Absalom Report this post to the editors

In Baghdad the Chaldean Catholic church of Sts. Peter and Paul received a blunt warning: "Get rid of the cross or we will burn your churches." Bishop Shlemnon Warduni told AsiaNews, "in the last 2 months many churches have been forced to remove their crosses from their domes," while in one case Islamic militants climbed the church roof to destroy the cross themselves.

Christians in some sections have been warned not to wear a cross, and advised to convert to Islam or face violence. The situation is "unsustainable," Bishop Warduni reports, and the pressure upon Christians to leave the country is still growing.
