White: With attention on Gaza, ISIS free to persecute Iraqi Christians
With the world’s attention focused on Gaza, Islamist militants in Iraq can perpetrate their crimes without fear of facing justice, the Anglican vicar of Baghdad has said.
Andrew White, an Anglican canon at St. George’s church in Baghdad, who has served in the war-torn country for ten years, said more than 1,500 people in Iraq had been executed by Islamic State extremists.
“The Islamic State simply said we can do anything now the world is just looking at Gaza,” White said in a newsletter.
