Did
your media news source tell you? Last
week, a Christian militia reclaimed a village in northern Iraq from Islamic
State (ISIS) terrorists.
USA Today reported on the story of a group of
Christian fighters driving ISIS insurgents from the town of Bakufa. The inhabitants of the predominantly
Christian Bakufa formed a village militia, after fighting side-by-side with
Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters to push ISIS from their hamlet.
The
freshly recruited militia might be short on combat experience, but that’s not
worrying them. As one of their members
says: “In my opinion, faith is greater than military experience.”
Where
the black banner of ISIS once stood, the flag of the Iraqi Christian fighters
now flies high over Bakufa.
