In 2003, the year the United States invaded Iraq, there are 1.4 million Christians in Iraq. Now, there less than 200,000. Christians make up 5 percent of the Iraqi population, but 40 percent of refugees from the country. With the rise of the Islamic State, this situation is only worsening. Audey Arabo Lay, Spokesman for the Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of St. Thomas the Apostle talks with RT correspondent Anya Parampil on the issue.
