On July 22, 2014 Rep. Wolf from Virginia asked for and was granted permission to address the United States House of Representatives for one minute regarding genocide in Iraq:
“Mr. Speaker, the international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in article II of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.
It says:
Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
I believe that what is happening to the Christian community in Iraq is genocide. I also believe that it is a “crime against humanity.”
Last Thursday, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, more commonly referred to as ISIS, gave the few remaining Christians in Mosul until Saturday to leave or be killed.
From The New York Times, it reads:
Some went on foot, their cars having been confiscated. Others rode bicycles or motor scooters. Few were able to take anything of value as militants seized their money and jewelry. Some–just a few because they were not healthy enough to flee–submitted to the demands that they convert to Islam to avoid being killed.
ISIS is systematically targeting Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq for extinction”, said Wolf.

If only Congressman Wolf knew the extent of how the US was secret;y training and equipping ISIS and other groups in Syria – he would be freaking pissed!
