Summary/Abstract: Minorities have been one of the main targets of the violence that has swept through Iraq after the American occupation in 2003. This violence reached a pivotal turning point when the so-called ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS) invaded Nineveh governorate, including Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, and extended their control over other areas in the Anbar and Saladin governorates.
