In Iraq, Christians are running from Mosul because of ultimatum militant group “Islamic state”, which ordered all non-Muslims to leave the city before noon on Saturday, reports AFP.

Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church, Rafael Luis Sako I said that the Christian family is on its way to the cities of Dohuk and Erbil, located in Kurdistan. “For the first time in the history of Iraq’s Mosul now there is no Christians,” – he said.

Militants “Islamic state” required either to accept Islam or to leave their homes or pay monthly tax of $ 250. According to RIA Novosti, in the current difficult economic situation of Iraq to pay such a tax is impossible. Christian homes, previously marked with paint, militants declared it in their property.

Recall that in early June, militants from the radical Sunni group “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (LIH), fought to the last time in Syria, captured the northern and western regions of Iraq. In the second largest Iraqi city of Mosul they seized assets of banks in the amount of $ 429 million and a large amount of gold bullion. Official Iraqi authorities asked for military assistance from the West to fight off invaders attack. During the conflict in Iraq has killed more than 1,000 people.

 

LIH June 29 announced the creation of an Islamic caliphate and urged jihadists from around the world to take the oath of allegiance to it. “Islamic state” led rebel leader Abdullah Ibrahim al-Samarai, also known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
