Christians in Iraq forced to pay bribes

There are an estimated 300,000 to 600,000 Christians left in Iraq, and they don’t have it easy. Islamic militants give the Christians three options - they must convert to Islam, pay a monthly fee for “protection,” or leave the country. Many Christians pay the bribe for a while in order to make plans to leave the country, and they say they get no help from the Iraqi government or local police.
