This is important because no one should suffer for their faith or belief if they do not present a threat to society.
People should care because we should want others to experience the same freedom and benefits that we enjoy (2 Cor 1:4).
I am a Christian and I am moved and saddened by the current state of affairs. In the event I am so afflicted, I would appreciate others caring about my affliction.
This will enable hundreds of Christians living in Iraq under threat from ISIS to obtain the required freedom.
Update #39 jaar geleden
Much has happened in the news in relation to the Christians in Iraq.
As a result of the unfriendliness of ISIS, I will not persist with this petition for the safety of all signatories thereto, but instead urge each signatory to donate at "CatholicOnline.Org": http://ycvf.org/collections/persecuted-christians/products/emergency-fund-save-iraqi-christians
This petition will be closed soon, but the fight continues...One love.
Update #29 jaar geleden
The threat presented to Christians and other minorities has been in the news as expected. Three important updates are:

Thank God for those who have managed to escape!!!

Friends
The current status is as follows:
The Catholic Church, the main organisation hoped to be targeted by this petition, in order to receive assistance in approaching other organisations, is already playing a major role.
I therefore recommend you to visit the following link for further information: http://ycvf.org/collections/persecuted-christians
As our fellow Christian friends continue to pray, we earnestly hope that they will be delivered from further genocide in time.
Regards
