Atrocities in the Middle East

Dear Editor, The forced expulsion of Iraqi Christians from their homes by ISIS is a great human tragedy and should not be happening in the 21st Century. It is a great crime and humanitarian disaster. It should be strongly condemned by all right thinking people who believe in religious freedom and democracy.

ISIS ideology is based on hate and cruelty. They will kill, slaughter and butcher anyone they consider not of their persuasion and who will not convert to their brand of Islam.  What happened to the civilians and children of Gaza was also a great crime and should be completely condemned by all but sadly some commentators still refuse to do so.
Yours etc.,
