Muslims in Iraq have join to support the Christians in declaring "I am Iraqi"


Hundreds rallied (link is external) in Baghdad on Sunday to show solidarity with Christians who are being threatened by the Islamic State (IS) group in northern Iraq. Thousands of Christians in Mosul, Iraq's second largest city are being forced by the rebel group to convert to Islam, pay a tax, leave or face execution.






Netizens are using hashtags like #WeAreN and #IAmNazrene to share images from the rally. Below, Muslims and Christians throughout Baghdad are seen holding signs which read, "I am Iraqi, I am Christian."
