A Muslim leader is calling on the Iraqi government and US-led forces to step up their efforts to protect the Christian minority in Iraq from extinction, the Christian Post website reports today (November 9, 2010).
Nevaid Hamid, Secretary of the South Asian Council for Minorities (SACM) and a Muslim, said the deadly attack a week ago on a church in Baghdad was a heinous crime that should be strongly condemned by the international community.
About 58 people died when al-Qaida-linked militants stormed the Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad and opened fire on the congregation.
Hamid said, "It is a fact that Christians are on the verge of extinction in Iraq."
