hundreds of thousands in Iraq

hundreds of thousands in Iraq have been killed, mosques were bombed too, shrines were bombed, everyday hundreds were dying, why single out the Christians, do they have a right to live more than the others?
Many innocents humans from all religious affiliations have been killed in Iraq, your coverage France24 is unprofessional;

and to my fellow Christians i say, this is your land, stop shouting persecution all the time, when you have terrorists targeting everybody that's not persecution, and even when you as a community are targeted see who is behind it first!

don't think anyone in the world would care about you more than your countrymen, the west would care only if you have oil and only to use you as a destabilization card for political reasons.

wake up already!
