Freedom of Religion in Iraq, Some Good News

Dogs and cats, living together in Kurdistan! Iraq the Model on the news that hundreds have openly converted to Christianity:

The report quotes an interesting statement of the PM of Kurdistan Nejervan Barzani (a Muslim himslef) who commented on the news by saying "I'd rather see a Muslim become Christian than to see him become a radical MuslimÂ…"
Indeed.

A friend of mine who just returned from Iraq tells me he was surprised at meeting so many Christians. He's not sure to what extent they were openly Christian, but it wasn't uncommon for a local to confide that they were Christian in private.

Hat tip to Allah.
