[size=45]The Christian component in Iraq and its various sects are exposed to systematic campaigns to seize their property, and according to the opinions of the majority of the component, the aim of these campaigns is to push them to leave and abandon the land of their fathers and grandfathers, as Christians, according to historical sources, are considered one of the original components in Mesopotamia, and that These campaigns targeting their properties are another aspect of ethnic cleansing and the domination of sectarianism, racism and sectarianism over the country and making Iraqi society free of its components.[/size]

[size=45]Christian journalist Sana Massius told (Pasnews) that, as a Christian component, they feel alienated and persecuted, especially as they are far from the issue of bloodshed or revenge and armament, noting that “if there is no real state that takes into account the components and indigenous minorities in Iraq, and there are no real laws that are implemented On the ground, their rights are protected. They await an Iraq without Christians in the next few years. ”[/size]

There are countries that want Iraq devoid of components to control it in the name of religion and sect. A few days ago, the lawyer and agent of the Chaldean community in Baghdad was subjected to more than 50 gunshots by unknown gunmen, and resulted in the injury of the lawyer’s brother, who had always threatened to kill him and his family with the aim of abandoning the lawsuits that he instituted to recover some of the property of this Christian sect rooted in Baghdadi society. .[/size]

[size=45]For his part, former representative of the tourist component Joseph Saliwa told (Basnews), “There are two groups that are trying to seize the property of Christians. The first is a religious group that considers the property of Christians permissible because it is not for a Muslim like the Farhud that the Jews were exposed to in Baghdad and the rest of the provinces of Iraq in the 1940s. The former, and the other group has a gang mentality that is active when the law is absent. There are also material goals and agendas behind which a group stands that aim to make the Christians desire or not think of returning to Iraq.[/size]
