Iraqi Christians Told To Convert Or Face Death by Superstar007(m): 1:54pm On Jul 20, 2014


Thousands of Iraqi Christians today
poured out of Mosul after ISIS jihadis
gave them an ultimatum - convert, pay or face death.

The Islamic State terror group declared that Christians must either convert to Islam, pay a special tax or leave the city, around 250 miles north-west of Baghdad.

If they did not do so by noon (9am GMT) today, there would be 'nothing for them but the sword', it said.

As militants attempted to break
government defences in strategic
areas and edge closer to Baghdad,
Christians fled to join hundreds of
thousands of Shiite and other refugees in the neighbouring autonomous region of Kurdistan.

Their escape to the safety coincided
with the expected homecoming of
Iraq's Kurdish president, Jalal Talabani, after 18 months of medical treatment in Germany.
