Iraq Officially Declares Christmas Day A National Holiday by MrTrend(m): 11:33pm On Dec 25, 2018
The Iraqi government has official announced that henceforth, December 25th, Christmas Day, will be a national holiday to celebrate “the occasion of the birth of Jesus Christ”.

On Twitter, the government of the middle eastern nation said:

The @IraqiGovt announces Christmas Day to be an official holiday across Iraq. Happy Christmas to our Christian citizens, all Iraqis and to all who are celebrating around the world.

According to a report from CNN, Iraq had about 1.4m Christians but the number has reduced to roughly 300,000 after hundreds of thousands fled the country following violence and attacks by various armed groups over the years.

Liberation is on the way.


The world can actually see how intolerant Islam can be

Wherever Muslims are majority, the minorities are always persecuted and they often forget their usual propaganda "Islam is peace "

But as soon as the tables turn, they begin to preach how peaceful Islam can be undecided
