Christians targeted for extermination in Iraq are welcomed in the Kurdish north.

Nice to hear.  Still, dozens of Christians have died, been sentenced to death, or are being threatened every day, and that's just in the Islamic world.  I finally heard on the news that some international organizations are beginning to condemn these actions.  Nice to hear.  Christians everywhere should be praying for them, and if possible, finding ways to help them.  Right now, the global reaction against this has been the diplomatic equivalent of looking at the perpetrators and saying, "Shame, shame, double shame, everybody knows your name."  Lord be with those who are persecuted for your name's sake.
