IRBIL: Christians and Christians have reportedly sold cross-plated shoes and shoes in shops in northern Iraq. Polish media reports that the cross is embossed on the bottom of the shoes. The shoes are on sale at the Mega Mall, the main shopping mall in Irbil. Investigations by Assyrian activists have revealed that the anti-Christian product was manufactured by Turkish company Flo.
The shoes are bought and sold by Kurdish shops. Believers allege that the company is doing Christian reproach through its sale. The anti-Christian sentiment of the Kurdish community is evidenced by the perception that Kurdistan is an area where democratic values exist. Polish media reports indicate that in Iraqi culture, they see the shoe-like object as “very disgusting.
In the past years, the cross has been inscribed on the shoes worn by women. Following the strong protests by Assyrian Christians, the local government in Kurdistan removed shoes from one institution to keep dust in the eyes of the people, but the other firms continued to sell shoes. Iraq, which is considered the cradle of the Christian faith, has today become one of the most threatened countries for the Christian faith.
