A Christian family who fled Iraq only to suffer again at the hands of Syrian Islamists in a refugee camp in the German town of Freising, eventually returned to Iraq when they could take no more, it was reported in early November.
‘They yelled at my wife and beat my child’, said the Iraqi father. Cases like this one are being reported from various parts of Germany. A young Syrian man in the German town of Giessen decided he could not stay when he heard violent threats from Islamists. ‘They shout Qur’anic verses’, he said. ‘These are words that the [Islamic State] shouts before they cut off people’s heads. I cannot stay here. I am a Christian.’
In the town of Hemer, in western Germany, Algerian refugees attacked a Christian Eritrean man and his pregnant wife with a glass bottle.
