I wish to bring this to the attention of Doves and Editor,Mandeans in Iraq are not Christians, please check up Mandean and Mandeanism in wikipedia and on the internet, Mandeanism considers Jesus Christ as a false prophet, and they worship different spirits and consider John the baptist as a holy figure.
This religion has nothing to do with Christianity, and this is a totally pagan religion, although a minority one in the world.
I do pray for all people suffering genocide, but i fail to understand why should mandeans be included as Christians ? they utterly reject Jesus and consider Jesus as dangerous. This can be confirmed through variety of materials about the Iraqi Mandean Religion on the Internet.
they are a totally different religion and Anti Christian religion, in fact they persecuted many Christians in the past when Mandeanism was widespread. Now they are getting persecuted by Islam. Its just a bad cycle of events.
We ask God to bring peace to Iraq in Jesus Name.
