A columnist from UK daily newspaper, The Telegraph, Dr. Tim Stanley, warned that Christians in Iraq are not just facing persecution, but ethnic cleansing from the Islamic State.
Dr. Stanley told the audience at ‘The Global Persecution of Christian Minorities’, organized by a British foreign policy think tank on July 9 that the level of violence against Iraqi Christians can be considered as ethnic cleansing. Most of Muslim jihadists have been driven out of the region, but the few IS fighters who still remain wreak havoc against Christian communities, reports World Watch Monitor.
