Every day I hear a new atrocity that occur on my people "The Assyrians". The Assyrians, the indigenous people of Iraq.They are the root of this country; the people who created civilization, set government, made laws and created first libraries and first schools.

Today we see these people who contributed in building ancient world and modern Iraq being abandoned and left for extinction and destruction by the barbarous group of the "Islamic state of Iraq and Syria"(ISIS), breaks my heart. More than 100.000 Assyrians were displaced from their lands that they lived in for thousands of years, their daughters taken captives and raped and their churches destroyed.

The whole world watched the Assyrian Genocide occurring on TVs, magazines, social networking and the world kept silent. It kept silent to the savage acts of ISIS. It kept silent to the destruction of civilization.

If we continue our silence toward these atrocities, the world will fall for this savage ideology, and there will be the"weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.". "Mathew 8:12"
I think your post is very good at really showing what people are facing with the turmoil from political and religious extremism, it is heart-wrenching to see and what is worse is that so many people don't care.
