Khiria Al-Kas Isaac is a 54-year-old Iraqi Christian woman, whose testimony
will move you to tears. I am utterly impressed by her bravery.

Islamic Jihadists just invaded her village of Qaraqosh. She expected death,
as they demanded she convert to Islam or die. Khiria survived, as she
consistently said: *"I answered [the terrorists] immediately, I was born
Christian and if that leads me to death, I prefer to die a Christian.”
 *Quoting
from Matthew 10:33, she said: "Jesus said: 'Whoever denies me before men, I
will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven'.”

*Such bravery.* You can read the full interview here

Khiria is not alone. Like Khiria, another 46 Christian women were separated
from their families. None which renounced their faith. *They were whipped
and further beaten for 10 days as the terrorists sought their 'conversion'.*
"All of us were crying but refused to convert,” says Khiria who cannot
sleep because of nightmares stemming from her captivity. That's firmness.
That's faith. That's strength. Quite a contrast to the style of faith we
live, often without persecution, or at least often without this type of
persecution.

Testimonies from the refugee camps are also *striking. 'They will kill us
or sell us as sex slaves; we are the spoils of war,'* said one of the
Christian refugees, who is 5 months pregnant… "What will happen to my son?"
She asked anxiously.

The harsh winter is approaching and they are still living in a tent. To
make things worse, there is a reported outbreak of typhoid fever and
volunteers fear a cholera epidemic.

emoke, this is an extreme situation. We must act.

Please help by calling on the European Union to provide immediate shelter
to the persecuted Christians of Iraq. As a community, we cannot look away
any longer.
