They hate you because of me - As 'pencil' pointed out in a comment, Christians are fleeing Iraq.
WorldNetDaily™ has more information on why:
Assyrian Christians recently liberated from Saddam Hussein's regime are suffering a string of deadly attacks church leaders believe are religiously motivated.
Christians and churches have received letters in Arabic threatening that if they don't follow Islamic practice and support "the resistance," they will face the consequences: "torture, and burning or exploding the house with the family in it," says Elizabeth Kendal, researcher for the World Evangelical Alliance Religious Liberty Commission, in a report published by the Assist News Service.
WND notes that on June 7, seven Assyrian Christians were gunned down and others injured.
On March 22, an elderly Assyrian man was garroted and his wife beat to death.
Reuters reports that:
Two Iraqi sisters working for a big U.S. firm were killed in a drive-by shooting on Tuesday near their home in the southern city of Basra, relatives said.
Their father, Sadah Audishow, said he had been waiting at the window for his daughters to return from work when he heard gunshots and saw a white pick-up truck speeding past.
They too, were Assyrian Christians.
We Christians cannot fail to remember the sufferings that other brothers and sisters are facing because of faith in Christ.
The Great Separation continues.
