U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron states that there is a chance of Christianity being extinct within Iraq in the next five years. The report states that Christianity has faced persecution in Iraq since the 2003 war and struggles with ISIS, leading to the reduction of the overall population. Christians have fled the area in fear of an ethnic-cleansing, genocide, or financial charges. ISIS has quickly gained control of several cities causing Christians to make a choice of fleeing or face death. You could find several thousand of them seeking refuge in tents throughout Iraqi Kurdistan. According to a professor at Salahaddin University there really is no hope for Christians to gain jobs, security, education, or any form of salary within Iraq. Followers
