An Australian, Joseph Haweil, from the Assyrian Church of the East Relief Organisation, say simply providing aid was not enough and is calling on the Australian government and the UN to act against the Islamic State. “They’re beheading children and selling women in cages in Mosul markets” he said. He is advocating a ‘safe haven’ for Christians in the Nineveh Plains in the north of Iraq. CBN World News has reported that in ERBIL,
Kurdistan, “Islamic terrorists in Iraq are killing children and burying people alive, and it won’t stop there. They have a message for America: “We’re coming for you.” in the same CBS report Dr. Sarah Ahmed, with the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, called the Isalmic State attacks “a genocide.”
“What’s happening now to the Christians, to the Yazidis, to the minorities is — in the last couple of days mostly to the Christians — is a genocide,” she told CBN News. “What’s happening is what happened 200 years ago to the Jews [sic].”
