IS Graffiti in the Mar Behnam church in predominantly Christian Karakosch not far from Mossul was devastated and set alight by the IS, so that the church walls and ceilings are sooty. The bell tower was blown up. The Christian population was expelled by the IS, but returns to their homes in large numbers. Some churches could be rebuilt, so that church services can take place there again. Nevertheless, the Christians are now threatened by the Shiite conquerors of the province Ninawa and the capital Mossul and are more and more repressed, so that the Christians do not have good prospects for a further life in their cities.
