Bartella, Iraq (CNN)Behnam Lalo crunches over jagged glass and tiptoes around a fallen altar, burned Bibles and a decapitated porcelain Virgin Mary. He picks up a cross from a heap of rubble and wipes away ashes with his priest's robes.
He recognizes the cross immediately; he used it at confirmation ceremonies of so many boys and girls here at St. George Church. He no longer knows where some of them are. Or, if they are still alive.

Interesting how the Communist News Network blames the genocide of Christians on ISIS when ISIS is a muslim sect.  So the blame should be on islam, which would be true, not just ISIS.  They're still apologizing for islam.

The persecution is always there.

It accelerated after the 2003 invasion according to most native sources in the region. If we were going to invade, we needed more manpower to guard against sectarianism.
