Vatican Warns Int'l Community of New ISIS Genocide
10-21-2014
A Vatican official is calling on the international community to stop a potential genocide in Iraq and Syria.
As CBN News has reported for months, the Islamic State army is targeting Christians and other religious minorities, forcing them to leave, convert or die.
Now Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin says Muslim leaders should condemn ISIS, and world leaders should offer more than a military response, including sending more aid to help refugees.
He also said countries should not give visas to Christians seeking to leave the region.
Instead, the Christians should be encouraged to stay and offered.
