- Christianity_in_Iraq abstract "The Christians of Iraq are considered to be one of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world. The vast majority are indigenous Eastern Aramaic-speaking ethnic Assyrians, descendants of the ancient Mesopotamians (see Assyrian continuity); however, there is a small community of Armenians, as well as a tiny number of Kurdish, Arab and Turcoman Christians extant.In Iraq, Christians numbered about 1,500,000 in 2003, representing just over 6% of the population of the country down from 12% on 1947 in a population of 4.7 million. They numbered over 1.4 million in 1987 or 8% of the population. After the Iraq War, it was estimated that the number of Christians in Iraq had dropped to as low as 450,000 by 2013 — with estimates as low as 200,000. The most widely followed denomination among Assyrian Christians in Iraq is the Chaldean Catholic Church.Christians live primarily in Baghdad, Basra, Arbil and Kirkuk and in Assyrian towns and regions such as the Nineveh Plains in the north. Assyrian Christians live primarily in northern Iraq; and in regions bordering it in northeastern Syria, nortwestern Iran] and southeastern Turkey, an area roughly corresponding to ancient Assyria. Christians in Iraq are not allowed to proselytise, especially to Muslims. Muslims who change their faith to Christianity, are subject to societal and official pressure, which may lead to death penalty. However, there are cases in which a Muslim will adopt the Christian faith, secretly declaring his/her apostasy. In effect, they are practising Christians, but legally Muslims; thus, the statistics of Iraqi Christians does not include Muslim converts to Christianity.".
