NAJAF,
Iraq -- After Christians were forced to leave Mosul and other areas
that fell under the control of the Islamic State (IS), Kurdish and
Shiite dominated cities opened their doors to receive them. Religious
authorities adopted stances supporting Christians, as they called on
residents to host and help their brothers in the country.
The
Imam Al-Khoei Foundation, one of the prominent religious institutions
in Najaf, issued on July 30 a statement in support of Christians and
minorities in Iraq. An excerpt of the statement reads, "We
announce our readiness to receive the displaced Iraqi families, be
they Christians or Muslims. We call on all Iraqis to offer aid for
the displaced families and protect them from the aggressors, in
accordance with the principles of humanitarian and national
fraternity."
