U.N. Security Council to Meet on 'Persecution' of Mideast Christians
2015-03-10
[AnNahar] The U.N. Security Council is to meet on March 27 to oppose the growing persecution of Christians in the Middle East, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Monday.
A stiff note will eventually be penned, addressed to "The Big Cahuna Himself, Caliph's Palace, Mosel or Raqqa" This is not, of course, an overwhelming presentation.
"We are on the side of the persecuted minorities," Fabius, whose country currently presides over the Security Council, told a presser in the Moroccan capital.

He said the March 27 meeting, which he would himself chair, would demonstrate an international will not to accept atrocities committed by jihadists who "deny that minorities have the right to exist."

In an interview with BFM TV, Fabius said it was "completely unacceptable what has been done to these minorities."

Referring to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group by an acronym in Arabic, he said: "Daesh and gunnies who are with them simply want to eradicate, physically remove, guillotine anyone who doesn't think like them."

In Syria, IS kidnapped some 220 Assyrian Christians last month, prompting 5,000 people to flee the countryside in fear of the jihadist advance.

IS Lions of Islam have also attacked Christians in neighboring Iraq, where it seized swathes of territory in a lightning June offensive last year.
