There is an ongoing crisis for Christians in Mosul, the second largest Iraqi city, forcing them to leave their homes and cities. The fundamentalist Islamist organization, ISIS, issued a statement broadcast in mosques and through varied media outlets and presented Christians in the area three options: convert to Islam, pay an unidentified jizyah, or leave their homes and villages with only the clothes on their backs with no belongings or money. The rest of the world has remained silent as thousands of families rented cars to take them to nearby autonomous Kurdish cities. By Saturday July 18^th, Mosul was devoid of any Christians. Some churches were transformed into ISIS operating headquarters, whilst others were completely destroyed alongside Christian homes and businesses. ISIS also ordered Muslims in the city not to pay Christians for any services or goods and not to interact with them in any way. Before the 2003 American invasion, there were approximately one million Christians in Iraq. Having suffered the increased discrimination brought upon by rising extremist groups, this number has almost decreased by half over the previous 11 years. Before ISIS took over Mosul on the 10^th of June 2014, Cardinal Patriarch Louis Sako announced that the Iraqi Church is in crisis given rising religious extremism and the seizing of Christian property. After the recent events, the Cardinal Patriarch said, “this is the first time in Iraq’s history for Mosul to be completely devoid of Christians.” Sako also stated that members of ISIS wrote the Arabic letter n on Christian houses, for nassārá (Christians), and the letter r on Shī’a houses, for rawāfid (rejectionists). Despite the fact that there were approximately 130,000 Christians in Mosul alone, the international community has failed to react in any way shape or form, either through the United Nations Security Council, the Arab League, or the media.
