Most Christians in Iraq are either Assyrians or Chaldeans. The Chaldeans accept the authority of the Pope in Rome, while the Assyrians are an Eastern Orthodox Church.
However, there are possibly more Iraqi Christians in the United States than in Iraq. There is an Assyrinan Church just over two miles from my house here in Michigan, and a Chaldean church about a mile and a half away. The Chaldean Church has so high attendance at Eastern that they have police monitor trafic, but most Sundays they just let people struggle through the traffic, which means backups often develop. There is another Chaldean Church about five miles from my house and one or two more in the Metro Detroit Area. I have also know some Latter-day Saints around here who were raised as Chaldeans, and I know that some Chaldeans go to regular Catholic Churches so all told there are lots of Chaldeans here in Michigan.

This could be solved and be a great tool to win people to God through Jesus Christ; but correction of Christianity is needed as well as Islam.
Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4. About six hundred (600) years after Jesus, the people had accepted the lie that we no longer had to follow God's word through Moses. Times and seasons and holidays were changed as scripture foretold. That has never been corrected. In 600+ AD God sent Muhammad with the message, "you stand on nothing till you observe the Torah (Law through Moses), Prophets and the Gospel." That is bringing to remembrance what Jesus said. Jesus said we cannot get to heaven without following God's word.
Most of what we know about God we know before the "New Testament". This is the time of restoration. We begin with the Sabbath days and Holy days that were never to be changed. This is what Jesus said when he said, "Repent, the kingdom of God is at hand." Just follow God's word and it will be the kingdom. Only the doers enter the kingdom.
