Volden mod kristne i
Irak øges
Volden mod kristne vokser i Irak. Kirker bliver beskudt og bombet
og kristne bliver kidnappet og lynchet, oplyser organisationen
Åbne Døre.
I tillæg til den blodige kamp imellem sunni- og shiamuslimer
i Irak er der sket en stigning i voldshandlinger, der er rettet mod
kristne irakere.
De sidste uger er flere kirker er blevet beskudt og bombet og en
række kristne er blevet lynchet og kidnappet.
Det oplyser den internationale tværkirkelige organisation
Åbne Døres medarbejdere i Irak.
De første par år efter Saddam Husseins fald vendte
mange kristne tilbage til Irak, og mange nye kirker skød op
i landet, men nu er billedet ændret.
Titusindvis af irakiske kristne er igen flygtet ud af landet til
Jordan og Syrien, hvor mange lever under meget kummerlige forhold,
oplyser Åbne Døre, som forsøger at
overvåge de kristne kirkers vilkår i de lande, hvor
kristne i større eller mindre grad er udsat for
forfølgelse.
