"The time has come to put a stop to all this states mgr. Warduni . Our cry is not heeded by the Government or the allies. We asked them for some check-points to keep under control some areas of the city, in which the greatest violence is committed against Christians, but to no avail. And in the meantime the persecution against us continues, because we are speaking of a veritable persecution. We are all targets. As much as we can, we must go around unnoticed. Having an escort would only aggravate the situation, because in doing so we would make ourselves conspicuous". "We have the feeling we might be abducted or murdered at any time, day or night he goes on . The Christians are forced to convert to Islam, to leave their homes, to give their daughters to the Muslims, to pay the protection tax, otherwise they would be killed. This had never happened before, now are in great trouble. And nobody opposes to this or defends us. We have been in Iraq for over two thousand years he concludes and as Christians we have worked for this land, we have given sweat and blood for its unity. Why all this hatred now?".
