Wow! Now will Jerusalem do the same. I thought Muslims and Islams and Judeau all had their own Xmas. Its a miracle that the West can change a country like that. I guess Christmas will be for Christians right. I am confused.

It’ll be official because an official said it was

interesting development

Ty

Great news!!!

God bless I Iraqi government.

Hum looks like the billions we gave them because of Valerie Jarretts connections is paying off. So did Islam figure out it might not be a good idea to kill us all?

Had to in order to hold Black Friday at the Baghdad Mall of Iraq next year ... slashing throats & prices!

Praise God 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's such amazing news! Even God must be happy now!

ChristmasDay2018

More Grace to the Iraqian government, if today Jerusalem remain the undisputed capital of Isreal the there is high need for both Religions to live in harmony

This is a great recognition for the freedom of worship.God has a better plan for that government and her know Heaven protect all government in place because He alone enthrones and dethrone at his divined moment

Good days are coming to Iraq. Good one.

Amazing😲

Iraq approved Christmas. Is good. Let the whole world celebrate Christmas and not Satanmas. Any celebration outside Jesus Christ is Satanmas. In Christmas believers gather worship and praise God for the highest gift of heaven to mankind.

This is a great new. We should tolerate ourselves and allow peace to reign.

OMG, Recognize a Catholic Event. You Muslims and no lopping of Christian heads on Christmas Day.

Hey check out this interview about Trump Russia

Wonderful news .

Amen

bring back christianity to the middle east. There is only way to achieve peace in our universe, it's respect every minority. Unfortunately muslim majority doesn't follow the rules at all.

That’s big news

Toys R Us already opening in Baghdad, 1 selling toy of course is Beheading Barbie, scimitar sold separately

All those soldiers that lost lives and limbs so that we can bring the west to the east?

Yet CNN never mentions the young Swedish tourist girls beheaded in Morocco by Muslims . Makes you wonder who controls CNN. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄.

That sounds like progress, congratulations!

Hopping on the bandwagon

Is this breaking news?

lies.

Too bad most of Iraq's Christians were murdered or driven out of Iraq....

Great! Merry Christmas!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

A wonderful gesture and a great spirit for the good of humanity,let peace rule for the good of all the Almighty's creations.

This prob fake news left propaganda to get you to except Islam in the US.

Welcome to religious freedom

Can I see you in Baghdad, the country of Sinbad?

Falling stock prices Black Christmas cbs 10 years ago financial crisis U.S. Treasury Secretary incompetence plummeting global stock prices...😠

But EID is not a holiday in the US yet.. not wanting to go on a back and forth. Just pointing it out!!!

baby pop c

baby pop b

Oh~ Iraq Amen

But wallstreet is still keeping the bailout and bonuses

See the world isn't a bad place after all

Hallelujah

This is huge

Haleluya. ....

Glory! God be praised🙏

🙏👏

Trump immediately takes credit.....

Good looking church...

Long lasting peace can be achieved by showing tolerance & respect for all religions.

Every knee shall bow and every tounge will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and saviour.

That's a big good step, we need to have respect for all believes no matter what it is, as long as no harm will be done in the name off.... because that's wrong Catholics and extremists muslims.

wow this is nice

Jesus!

Nice!

Sign of good things and a strong show of tolerance for the christian faith.

Now, that all Christians left...

Hallelujah

走邪路是不会有好结果的,厉害了我的国,只有我们才是伟光正

Good God. I’m dumber for having read all of these responses. There is no one right and one wrong. Religion divides if we don’t embrace our differences. A country is embracing another part of its culture. Celebrate it, or don’t. At the end of the day, what harm is caused?

Really? A Muslim state legalizes Christianity. So,does this mean they'll only kill Christians on certain holidays?

That’s what we bought for 6 Trillion?

A thoughtful gesture , to add Christianity in a self declared Islamic State Next they can add Hanukkah 🕎And they'll honor & celebrate the three main religions whose origins date back many thousands of years

Iran will be part of the kingdom of God. I’m not sure about Iraq though.

Absolutely peace of art ....look and see jumanji players فسيفساء beautiful as it is

Wow that's awesome, thank you Iraq!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

?

I feel sorry but good days i'll be back InshaAllah.2023

An the lie is going strong.

Democracy.. Headed towards a country near you.

'We can say Merry Christmas Again.' -Canidate DJT

Wow, wierd!

Oh Christians wake up!!! There is no God but Allah. Never had a partner nor a son.

This is Great News!

Right step, congrats to the Iraqi president, prime minister & cabinets and to all Iraqis, the Christians who has been longing for this to happen. To all those who worked behind d scene God bless you. Mat the peace of the Lord henceforth reign supreme in the land. Congrats to all

Merry Christmas 🇮🇶🎄🎁

WOW - THATS BIG NEWS. But i suspect, like Japan ,it will be more of an informal holiday cuz they like the idea of decorating Xmas trees and giving (and getting) gifts...

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!🌲

community.

Christmas Day now is a holiday for all Iraqis and not only for Christians .Earlier it used to be a holiday only for the minor Christian

Iraq's Christians ,a small minority in the overwhelmingly Muslim majority nation , quietly celebrated.

The occupation complete?

Probably for the eggnog.

It’s good gesture among different religions. New York City has also official holidays on Eid ul Fitar and Eid ul Adha.

Iraq officially makes Christmas Day a national holiday.

Does this mean I can finally take the family on that holiday to Fallujah that we've been putting off so long?

Happy X'mas to those at there,🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄🎁

Halleluiah!

So what god do they believe in, I’m confused.

Hahaha where have they been all these years?! They can't avoid global facts!

...and what else is Iraq up to? They want Christmas which is great, but I just got done watching 13 Novembre: the Paris massacre and I can’t help but question what else?

That only took two thousand eighteen years. Happy Birthday Jesus, in Iraq!

Waves of change in Muslim countries. Good

Really? I mean, well Hallelujah, praise the Lord!!

I’m sure Crooked Donald Trump will take credit.

This is weird

HabBradley Who is confused here ? Iraqi government , cnn or me ! Morals are being lost

vp Wake up. Wake up. A Muslim country just voted to recognize Christmas. It’s time to take off your pajamas and start dancing naked on the front lawn.

Great! The dawn of a new day for Iqra.

Thank You

Well done, Iraq. It’s one big step. We’re rooting for you

So does Starbucks in Iraq have to change the coffee cups now ?

That's nice 🙂

Beautiful

That should go over well... *rolls eyes*

Whoa...so who's going to take credit for this?

As a proud Assyrian, this is a big step. 🙏

Things are changing. Lots of more to do but we are getting there. Praise God!

🤷‍♂️

woooooooow

ISIS won't like this.....

Trump is third American president to visit IraqWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump made an unannounced trip to Iraq on Wednesday to meet U.S. troops. It's the sixth time that a U.S. president has visited Iraq. A look at previous presidential visits to Iraq: BUSH In November 2003, President George W. Bush became the first U.S. president to visit Iraq. He flew to Baghdad under extraordinary secrecy and security to spend Thanksgiving with U.S. troops and thank them for 'defending the American people from danger.' He only did that to save his failing presidency He really looked awkward in the photos The first to be shamed into doing it. Keep him there.

The Latest: Trump stops to see US troops in GermanyAL-ASAD AIRBASE, Iraq (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's trip to Iraq (all times local): 4 a.m. President Donald Trump is making a second unannounced visit to US troops abroad. On his way back from meeting troops in Iraq, Trump stopped at Ramstein Air Force Base for refueling and to see service members there. The president's earlier visit to a base in western Iraq was his first to U.S. forces in harm's way overseas. Aboard Air Force One, Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that Iraq's prime minister accepted an invitation from Trump to visit the White House. The two leaders spoke by phone. They did not meet when Trump was in Iraq. Is that all of them? someone needs to let Alyssa Milano know before she puts out another tweet about 45 not visiting the troops during the holidays. With all of these unannounced visits , we decided we better clean the bathroom and put out some fresh towels.
