Iraq’s first Christian brigade to battle ISIS



Iraq’s first Christian-only brigade of regular forces graduated Thursday to help retake the community’s towns and villages from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group.

The new brigade will answer to the government of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, whose peshmerga fighters are playing a leading role in the war against the militants.

Fighters paraded and jumped through fiery rings in front of Kurdish and Assyrian officials in the northwestern town of Fishkhabur, near the borders with Syria and Turkey.

Most of Iraq’s Christians lived in the Nineveh plain, an area between the main ISIS hub of Mosul and the Kurdish capital of Erbil, before ISIS fighters swept in seven months ago.

“Around 600 peshmerga from our Christian brothers in the Nineveh plain joined this course, which focused on physical training, military lectures and shooting exercises,” said Abu Bakr Ismail, the commander of the training academy.

“All the participants are volunteers... and want to liberate their land from ISIS and then protect it,” the Kurdish special forces major general said.

The new brigade is called the “Tiger Guards” and was formed out of the remnants of an Assyrian force first created in 2004 to protect churches in the region.

Up to 100,000 Christians fled their homes overnight in early August when ISIS fighters who had already conquered large parts of Iraq thrust into areas controlled by the peshmerga.

The exodus has been described as the worst disaster to befall the minority, which is one of the world’s oldest Christian communities.

Iraq’s Christians have not traditionally had strong home-grown militias and adopted a low profile when sectarian violence flared across the country a decade ago.

But those who haven’t already fled the country have in recent months shown a willingness to take up arms and take their future into their own hands.

Several other Christian groups have formed in recent months in northern Iraq. They do not fall under the peshmerga’s command but are hosted and supported by Kurdistan.

May God cover, protect, and keep our brothers and sisters in this Christian Brigade from harm. May He guide each of them for effectiveness of their efforts. May God's wisdom speak to them and may they have ears to hear God speak to them. May the enemy's cancerous tenicles be exposed for excision where ever they may be found. May the efforts of the enemy and the souls of those possessed by the demons that encourage them, be cast into pigs and sent over a cliff with millstones arround each of their individual necks. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen
