(AsiaNews) – “The plot” to attack the cathedral “had been in preparation for a long time, considering the weapons and ammunition found in the cathedral . . . these take a long time to stockpile,” said Fr Youssef Thomas Mirkis, a Dominican clergyman. The result is that it “is clear now is that they [Christians] will all leave Iraq,” said Pius Kasha, vicar of Iraq’s Syriac Catholic Church. Both quotes are in an editorial signed by Tariq Alhomayed, editor of the London-based pan-Arabic daily <i>Al Sharq Al Awsat</i>. </span></p> <p><span style="">In his article, he asks a question, namely “What has been done since 2008, rather than 2003, by the Iraqi government to protect an Iraqi component from repression and organized violence?”, and answers it: “Unfortunately, [. . .] nothing!” </span></p> <p><span style="">For Alhomayed, al-Qaeda is obviously to blame. The terrorist group has in fact not hesitated in carrying out massacred and committing atrocities, but for him the issue is what Iraqi authorities have done to defend Iraq’s Christians, for “Iraqi Christians remain targets in public”’ despite being “outspoken in their demand for government protection”.</span></p> <p><span style="">Since 2008, Iraqi Christians have turned to the Churches (rather the government) for protection against violence, at least the half that is still left in the country. </span></p> <p><span style="">Without self-defence militias, Christians have turned to church buildings that are guarded by security personnel. <span style=""> </span>He wonders though, “how did the terrorists get in” in the latest incident.</span></p> <p><span style="">In his view, targeting “minorities, including Iraqi Christians, means the disintegration of Iraq”. It “is an infringement upon its cultural and political composition. We must ensure that minorities are not excluded on sectarian or ethnic grounds, for this will open the gates of hell. [. . .] We must also ensure that tomorrow, the same events do not occur but with Lebanon’s Christians, God forbid. Therefore we say: protect the Christians in our region, in order to protect the virtue of co-existence.”</span><span style=""> </span></p></span><br><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td class="funzioni_articolo" width="33%"><a href="#" onclick="javascript: window.open('/sendtofriend.php?l=en&art=19891', 'postScreen','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=350,height=450')"> e-mail this to a friend <img src="/web/20121105194607im_/http://www.asianews.it/inc/templates/files/mail.gif" align="middle" border="0"></a></td><td class="funzioni_articolo" width="33%"><a href="#" onclick="javascript: window.open('/view4print.php?l=en&art=19891', 'postScreen','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=750,height=550')">printable version <img src="/web/20121105194607im_/http://www.asianews.it/inc/templates/files/print.gif" align="middle" border="0"></a></td><td class="funzioni_articolo" width="33%"><a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607/http://reddit.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asianews.it%2Fnews-en%2FIf-Christians-leave%2C-the-%E2%80%9Cgates-of-hell%E2%80%9D-will-open-19891.html&title=If+Christians+leave%2C+the+%E2%80%9Cgates+of+hell%E2%80%9D+will+open"><img style="border:none" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607im_/http://www.asianews.it/inc/templates/files/reddit.png"></a> <a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607/http://twitthis.com/twit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asianews.it%2Fnews-en%2FIf-Christians-leave%2C-the-%E2%80%9Cgates-of-hell%E2%80%9D-will-open-19891.html"><img style="border:none" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607im_/http://www.asianews.it/inc/templates/files/twitter.png"></a> <a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607/http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asianews.it%2Fnews-en%2FIf-Christians-leave%2C-the-%E2%80%9Cgates-of-hell%E2%80%9D-will-open-19891.html&t=If+Christians+leave%2C+the+%E2%80%9Cgates+of+hell%E2%80%9D+will+open"><img style="border:none" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607im_/http://www.asianews.it/inc/templates/files/facebook.png"></a> <g:plusone size="small"></g:plusone></td></tr></table><br><fieldset><legend>See also</legend><table class="articoloD_home" width="100%"><tr><td valign="top"><span class="data_articolo">10/13/2008</span> <span class="occhiello">IRAQ</span><br><span class="titolo_D"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607/http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Arab-media-“discover”-the-persecution-of-Christians-in-Mosul-as-another-Christian-is-killed-13461.html">Arab media “discover” the persecution of Christians in Mosul as another Christian is killed</a></span><br></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><span class="data_articolo">05/24/2006</span> <span class="occhiello">MIDEAST IRAN</span><br><span class="titolo_D"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607/http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Arab-world-split-over-Iran's-nuclear-programme-6250.html">Arab world split over Iran's nuclear programme</a></span><br></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><span class="data_articolo">04/29/2008</span> <span class="occhiello">IRAQ</span><br><span class="titolo_D"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607/http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Tariq-Aziz-on-trial,-bishop-of-Kirkuk:-justice,-but-in-respect-of-man-12136.html">Tariq Aziz on trial, bishop of Kirkuk: "justice, but in respect of man"</a></span><br></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><span class="data_articolo">12/31/2010</span> <span class="occhiello">IRAQ</span><br><span class="titolo_D"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121105194607/http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Mgr-Sako:-Martyrdom,-the-gift-of-the-Iraqi-Church-to-the-world.-More-blood-in-Baghdad-20396.html">Mgr Sako: Martyrdom, the gift of the Iraqi Church to the world.
