The Turn of the Christians
Now that the surge ethnic cleansing in Iraq has significantly reduced the violence between Sunnis and Shiites from virtual civil-war levels to merely intolerable levels, attention is turning to the Christian minority:
Christians in Mosul are fleeing their homes after a spate of killings this week that left 12 Christians dead in one of the largest Christian communities in Iraq.
Many of the Christians in Mosul fled there for their lives after "a spree of killings and forced evictions of Iraqi Christians in Baghdad last year."
Al Qaida terrorists are being blamed for the violence, but note this:
The killings follow large protests by the [Christian] community last month against the passage of the provincial elections law. An article that would give representation to Christians and other minorities was removed from the law before its passage.
That article wasn't removed by Al Qaida.
