Muslim Kurds, all members of the terrorist YPG, murdered forty Christians by attacking three restaurants in the Assyrian Christian neighborhood of Al-Wusta in Qamishli in Iraq. This story goes to show you: the Kurds are not the friends of the Christians! The Christians responded with valor and not timidity. Christian militiamen established checkpoints throughout their neighborhood and this really upset the Kurdish devils. The Kurds arrived to one of the checkpoints with a pickup truck mounted with a heavy machine gun. They demanded that the checkpoint be removed; the Christians refused. The Kurds opened fire, killing one Christian.
The Christians returned fire and after hours of fighting, killed six of the Muslim Kurds. One of the Christian warriors, Ashur, said:
We had to protect our lives, our property. We want to live and worship in a peaceful environment. To do that in the Middle East and live is almost impossible. We must fight to survive.
The YPG comes into our schools carrying guns, yelling at the teachers to stop teaching Assyrian-Christian lessons… It terrifies the children, so Sootoro stands guard to make them feel safe… Everybody treats us like second-class citizens
The Christian warriors refuse to leave their land and go to Europe to beg for welfare. They remain in their land, ever zealous to fight and die for Christ. Their decision to stay is inspired by the most beautiful verse:
“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” (John 6:67-69)
For the warriors to leave would be for them to leave Christ, for where is sacrifice, there is Christ, where the oppressed are, there is the Cross on which Christ is nailed, and where there is the zeal to fight, there is love, and where there is love, there is God.
