The war in Iraq is essentially over for the United States military. It’s still being waged by Iraqis themselves against their own people, particularly Christians. Father Douglas al-Bazi is all too familiar with the persecution and murder that is threatening to completely wipe out the Christian population in the Middle Eastern nation.

“I’m proud to be an Iraqi, I love my country. But my country is not proud that I’m part of it. What is happening to my people [Christians] is nothing other than genocide… Wake up!” — Father Douglas al-Bazi, Iraqi Catholic parish priest, Erbil.
