The Rebel in Iraq: Inside a Christian refugee camp in Erbil

Today as part of our mission to Iraq, I’m reporting from “Ankawa 2 Ashti,” a Christian refugee camp in Erbil.

This isn’t a UN refugee camp. Christians fleeing Islamic persecution actually end up being persecuted by Muslim refugees in those very UN camps.

In this camp, however, Christians are safe to worship, women and girls can walk around with their heads uncovered, and the refugees have some basic amenities.

However, later this week we’ll be reporting from a camp where the conditions will be worse.

That’s why we’re here. In addition to telling you the story of Christian persecution in the Middle East, we’re distributing food hampers, and determining what other supplied these refugees need the most.

Eventually, with your help, our goal is to raise $1 million to help provide those necessities.

    Does the truth hurt?

    Ezra Levant and the like are only highlighting terrorists persecuting Christians, a sad example of biased and divisive coverage in order to blow things out of proportion.

    Ezra Levant and the like are not helping Christian victims of terrorist incidents carried out by White Christians. Why?

    In EU, White people are responsible for the vast majority of terrorist incidents.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism#/media/File:Terro.jpg

    “The largest number of attacks in which the terrorist affiliation could be identified were carried out by ethno-nationalist and separatist extremists (99). Attacks carried
    out by left-wing violent extremists have been on the rise since 2014; they reached
    a total of 27 in 2016, of which most (16) were reported by Italy. The number of
    jihadist terrorist attacks decreased from 17 in 2015 to 13 in 2016, of which 6 were
    linked to the so-called Islamic State (IS).

    Apart from jihadist, ethno-nationalist and left-wing extremist attacks, an increasing
    stream of violent assaults by right-wing extremist individuals and groups was
    noted across Europe, in particular over the past two years, targeting asylum
    seekers and ethnic minorities in general. An average of nearly 10 attacks a day were carried out on refugees in Germany in 2016, according to Germany’s Interior Ministry, as reported in open source media."

    Ezra Levant and the like are wrong when they claim terrorists are just after non-Muslims. Muslims are victims of terrorism to a far greater extent than non-Muslims. Here’s the truth.

    “In cases where the religious affiliation of terrorism casualties could be determined, Muslims suffered between 82 and 97% of terrorism-related fatalities over the past five years.”

    “Between 2004 and 2013 about half of all terrorist attacks, and 60% of fatalities due to terrorist attacks, took place in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan – all of which have a mostly Muslim population.”

    “Most terrorist attacks are rooted in geopolitics. Religion is certainly a part of them, but it is not the only part.”

    Or is pointing out that Muslims are victims of terrorism to a far greater extent than non-Muslims and in EU, White people are responsible for the vast majority of terrorist incidents not good for generating web traffic and selling books?

    How about helping Muslims too?

    And how about helping Christian victims of terrorist incidents carried out by White Christians?

    Not a lot of mainstream media on this one.

    The pope and all other Christian denomination’s leaders should be doing more (are they doing anything at all much?) to help the middle east Christians who are starving to death and getting killed. It sounds like there isn’t many safe places for them to live. Stay safe Rebels.

    Mongrel….exactly! And when the man child PM was asked if the persecuted Christian and Yazidi refugees would get preference, the answer was …….NO-absolutely NOT!

    The reason Baby Doc curtailed private sponsorship of refugees and immigrants is that the private organizations would prefer the Christian, Yazidi, and other victims of islam over the thugs of islam, who Baby Doc prefers.

    Maybe we should me fundraising to hire security that bites back. Well, whatever, we need to help our fellow Christians. Some day we may be alone.

    Christians, jews and kuffar’s need to arm themselves and show some teeth and get into the game of us or them.

    Christianity has been in Iraq 6 CENTURIES before Islam existed.

    How long is that? A LONG time: 4 times longer than from Confederation till now.

    Will Christianity face the same fate in Canada as in the Middle-East in 100 years? With Justin Bin Trudeau on the throne, quite possibly.

    I want to help but I am unsure of the effectiveness of all of this when the place could be overrun and all our efforts pillaged/destroyed by Islam…again. The plan must not only include immediate help, but also ongoing protection and stabilization. The risk of loss without adequate security is very great in this situation it not? Islam is a scourge.

    Been to many camps – none of them are great but security is always an issue.

    Most UN camps are run by islamics and most UN camps are completely unsafe – so if you manage to stand in one for any time Ezra you better be wearing stab proof armour at a minimum.

    If you do not have it, I can direct you to a place to get it.

    It’s good to do humanitarian works but that won’t stop the genocide against the Christians. What has to be done for the Christians is set up a area next to the Israeli border ( Golan Heights ) have them form their own country. Arm them with enough weapons to defend themselves and have that country recognized world.
    Now if you call yourself Christian or if you call yourself progressive man up and give all you can afford for the Rebels cause. Can you look in the mirror and say go to hell when you know the Christians of the Middle East are already in hell.
