The Imam and the Church

Churches have been closing down in Iraq, and Christians have been fleeing because of threats and attacks by al-Qaeda for years. But in July a new Christian Church opened up in Kirkuk. About 200 families that had fled from other regions of Iraq settled in Kirkuk and decided to establish a new church.

And do you know what the local Muslim imam did when the church began worshiping there? He joined them at their service and offered a prayer for peace and security. Why don't we hear these kinds of things on the news?
