You can help put an end to persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq by lobbying U.S. Government leaders, educating others and generating media coverage about the crisis.

Please sign the petition below to ask the U.S. government and United Nations to help.

We are also urging Christian leaders to write letters to their local papers or denomination magazines about what is happening to Christians in Iraq.

Your Message: Dear President Bush and UN Secretary, With each attack it is becoming more evident that an unexpected casualty of the war is finally surfacing: Iraq's Christian community is facing extinction. As a result of religious persecution, ongoing national instability and death threats, approximately 400,000 Iraqi Christians have fled the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Many of the 600,000 Christians who remain in Iraq are internally displaced. The United States, having powerful leverage with government leaders in Baghdad and Kurdish authorities in the north, is in a position to guarantee the survival of Iraq's endangered Christians and other religious minorities. I'm asking you to use the power and influence of the U.S. government to defend religious liberty in Iraq and create conditions that allow displaced Christians and other non-Muslim minorities to return to their homeland and live and worship in peace. Please encourage the U.S. government to work towards developing a secure homeland province for religious minorities in Iraq. The United States, together with United Nations agencies, should facilitate the voluntary return and resettlement of refugees and internally displaced persons after effective security measures are taken. Sincerely, (Your signature will be added based on the contact information you enter in the above form.)
