An inspirational update on the progress in Iraq from Michael Yon.
A photo essay.
---------------------
A Bishop came to St John’s Church in Baghdad today, 15 November, where a crowd of locals welcomed him home.
...
LTC Michael told me today that when al Qaeda came to Dora, they began harassing Christians first, charging them “rent.” It was the local Muslims, according to LTC Michael, who first came to him for help to protect the Christians in his area. That’s right. LTC Michael told me more than once that the Muslims reached out to him to protect the Christians from al Qaeda. Real Muslims here are quick to say that al Qaeda members are not true Muslims.
...
Today, Muslims mostly filled the front pews of St John’s. Muslims who want their Christian friends and neighbors to come home.
---------------------
Side Note: The interpreter, a local in army fatigues, is not masked and has openly allowed his picture to be taken and published. This is as big a sign that things are changing as any.
