ERBIL, Iraq - The last Christian reportedly left Iraq's second largest city of Mosul at 12:00pm on Saturday, ending over 6,000 years of Assyrian history in the city. Assyrians have lived in Mosul for over 6,000 years, converting to Christianity over 2,000 years ago. This all came to an end on Saturday, when the last Assyrian Christian left the city.

On Thursday, July 17th, the Islamic State (IS)-- formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)-- released a statement demanding the Christians in Mosul either to convert to Islam, paying the jizya (tax on non-Muslims), leave the city, or be killed. The threat was to be implemented on Saturday. It is being reported locally that by noon yesterday, every Christian had chosen to leave.

Collateral damage. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Sad, I used to routinely fly over those skies on patrol to prevent Saddam's Air Force from reprisal attacks.

You'll get not a peep about this from those obsessing over how poorly Palestinians are treated. 900k Christians disappear those same folks consider it a win.

Never forget that our country and our taxes helped armed those Islamic militants. Lord have mercy.

Im surprised middle eastern christians dont hate us like middle eastern muslims. We pretty much eliminated christianity from several countries or cities.
