When Saddam Hussein was in power he actually loved and protected Christians from religious persecution.
America, which claims freedom and democracy, destroyed Iraq and stole its wealth, boasting that it is the most powerful military force and has satellites that monitor countries, but it has let the terrorists enter and kill the Iraqi people, and there are videos recorded by Iraqi soldiers for American planes transporting the emirs of ISIS, as well as logistical support from parachutes thrown at them from American military aircraft.
What does ABC mean by flourishing for hundreds of years until 20th century? Christians used to dominate the entire middle east and north africa. Muslims have been persecuting Christians in this region since the birth of the prophet Muhammad
Obama/Hillary's handy work ? This mess has alot to do with West getting involved in unnecessary internal issues in mideast… to topple governments & to established so called "democracy" ! Yes, they had dictators maybe , but sometimes it's part of the fabric of that society to keep control & balance. These islamists all rose without any fear to butcher people after Sadaam was taken out !
Papal sponsored Super Spreader Event !
HAHAHA peace in a muslim country? You must be joking.
Wishing all people of the world hope and healing. God bless.

There are prophets u wouldn't be here without and God just wants u to believe in them as equal aa gesus that is ligit all he wants!
They just said on tv that Pope is head of FAKE imitation Christianity …which is EXACTLY what the BIBLE really teaches. The lying poopy Pope doesn’t believe what the Bible teachesðŸ˜ÂÂ😩
There is a man of God and then there is a pope and a pope ain't a man of god
This is a happy day for God who is looking up at his 2 favorite crooks, united in fleecing the uneducated and poor.

On Behalf of ALL OF ISLAM WE WILL NEVER ACCEPT THE ANTI CHRIST DAJJAL SHIRKERS until They STOP worshipping Anti Christ. STOP WEARING SYMBOLS such as Crosses with Dead man, Pentagrams, Eye, or Triangle, or a Triangle with an Eye, or a Cross with a Triangle on the Center, AND GRAVEN IMAGES THAT ARE FORBIDDEN IN DEUTERONOMY Ch. 5 AND EXODUS Ch. 20.

Wake Up!
Pope Francis never say a word when CCP pull down the churches in China, never condemn the genocides in Xiangjiang but continue make friends with President Xi. He prefers to make friends with devil than the god we believe.
FalseProphet meets the False Prophet in Iraq. Two bad religions…catholicism and islam….birds of a feather flock together
The late scene uncommonly print because george energetically smell underneath a abounding risk. zany, ugliest daughter
thank you, pope Francis, for blessing us with your visit… not just Christians but for all Iraqis (Muslims, Yazidis, Assyrians,…etc)
Welcome to the great beautiful broken land of Mesopotamia
Killing in the name of Religion?🛑 Think of the word, Mankind. Is Man kind?👹 Religion kills, if you need more proof, then you're blind.
Wickedness of Iron and Clay
GOD bless Pope francis and people of Iraq
Pope Francis the great
Lord Jesus, please take care of Catholics in Iraq, let them have peace. Protect them from cruelty by othersðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂ
I am from Iraq and our government is a liar
Glory to God! Shia Islam & Catholics/Christianity share in faith of ONE GOD CREATOR OF HEAVEN & EARTH. Shia Islam does not support Isis, an extremist group. Al Sistani called on Iraq's people to fight against jihadists. God bless😇
Inshallah I pray to Allah that his massager prophet Muhammd's respect and honer will be discussed and documented so that no one can disrespectfully give it's remarks against The Prophet Muhammd P.B.U.H.
Protect the minority respect the majority
Don't just visit the capital, bring him to the site where it is almost destroyed by uninvited US interventionists and the marauding IS, let him offer his blessings to those lost souls
Much respect for sir Pope Francis. I request him to guide his people to the right path. Because Jesus(peace be upon him) never claimed divinity. He rather said worship Allah who is my lord and your Lord.
The Allah(God) is only one. Neither he begets nor he is begotten. He does not need to sleep, or eat food. He has power on every thing in the earth 🌎 and skies. There is nothing like him.
Pope – no mask. Sisters – no masks. Much of the crowd – no masks. Hurray!!!!! Leave those face diapers to liberal green… oh, what the hell, people.
Yet the muslims in the west feel they are being discriminated and feeling that there is Islamophobia. They are offended by all things, ashamed of nothing.
3:10 you can clearly see the extremists attack and kill their own people. To them it doesn’t matter if you’re Muslim or not what matters to them is whether you follow their twisted & corrupt ideology.
When evangelicals claim Christians are being persecuted in America, the safest country in the world for Christians, please show them videos of actual Christian persecution in the middle east.
0:30 what is a shopping mehl??
Why? this is more like publicity stunt, rather than necessity.
May God be with Christians around the world especially those facing persecutions of different kinds because of their faith because Christians have no ally, no friend here on earth but God because those that should ordinarily protect Christians do not care America is more likely to retaliate brutally when gays are attacked than when Christians are attacked..
We are so happy to welcome his holiness pope Francis in our country IRAQ thank you so much for coming

This is a set up
Iraq is coming under the rule of Iranian militias that control everything in the country and kill and displace people. These militias are led by Iranian agents
I'm sure Trump didn't there are Catholic people in Iraq.
Iraq is now open to the biggest pedo club in the world
