In a statement made by the clergyman from the shrine of Hazrat Ali (RA), it was said that it is going to serve the Christian family members who left their dwellings in worry of being slaughtered by what is what is known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. Zuhair Shurba, the Legislator Assistant General of the Holy Shrine, made a statement saying that The mosque can hold plenty of Christian households and supply all of them their everyday necessities. And this is not only limited to the Christians but for anyone fleeing that area and finding haven in Najaf. After the press releases, the Iraqi city of Basra even opened up to comfort the force out Christians, since this started in the summers of last year by now there are more than 400 plus Christain settlements in that area along with the surroundings areas.

Not only did the immigrants brought their lives to Najaf and the surrounding areas but also their traditions and especially Christmas – check out this report from Iraqi newscasters giving more insight on now it is being celebrated there.

why dont we see more stories like this about muslims in the mainstream media?
Because all media is owned and controlled by Zionists and it doesn’t suit their anti Muslim warmongering agenda.
This is the sort of response we have been needing to see. Hope it catches on more and continues.
I soooo agree, we should see more of this in the media, it creates the feeling of unity, I’ve had enough of the media dividing the people. Very beautiful post, thank you
That what I like to see people coming together and being one
