An 11-year-old Iraqi refugee, whose video message of forgiveness for Islamic State (IS) went viral worldwide in December 2014, shared a new message for world leaders in December 2015.
In December 2014, Christian satellite television channel SAT-7 KIDS first filmed and aired an interview with Myriam in a Christmas special from Northern Iraq. When the station then published the clip of her interview on the internet and social media, millions of viewers around the globe were inspired by her faith and forgiveness.
Despite losing her home, her school and her friends after ISIS drove her family out of their hometown of Qaraqosh, she said that God loves ISIS, she forgives them and prays that God forgives them too.
