Christian Group In Iraq Form Army To Fight ISIS by osile2012: 10:34pm On Sep 11, 2016
A group of Christians in Iraq have formed their own militia to protect people from the so-called Islamic State group. The leader of the Babylon Brigade says they were left with no choice but to take up arms when IS fighters targeted Christians.
There's a striking picture on the wall. It shows an untarmacked road, scorched by sunlight, leading to a small village with a mountain range behind it. And all along the side of the road there are crosses every 100m - taller even than lamp posts.
"Christian village," a guard mumbles. "Near Mosul."
We are in the Baghdad headquarters of the Iraq Christian Resistance, Babylon Brigade. They are a militia, although they prefer the phrase popular mobilisation unit. Whatever the language, about 30 of these outfits have sprung up in the past couple of years and between them they have 100,000 armed volunteers. They were formed to block the advance of the so-called Islamic State group when it swept through north and west Iraq in 2014, even threatening Baghdad. When the Iraqi national army collapsed the militias stood firm.

It would be a crusade because I don't see any other manner in which a major established religion can be erased off this planet or it's people banished from a land Unless an aggresive most likely violent action is taken or God intervenes

Crusade = Jihad, their purpose is similar , Christians need to stop being hypocritical about their desires for Muslims if you would rather see them burned at the stake why should they reserve a more pleasant fate for you.

I'm a believer of Christ as the light of the world and the one begotten of the father but I don't impose any righteousness on any man other than through my honesty and desire to know Christ more ; I'm however certain Nigerian Christians would constitute a majority of the citizens bound for hell most have become occult in their worship
