A twitter campaign is beginning to make a large in dent in the social media landscape for the persecuted Christians of Iraq.

The hashtag #WeAreN is trending worldwide and many people on twitter have changed their avatars to a picture of the Arabic letter N.  The letter N has been used by the Islamic terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to mark the homes and businesses of Christians in the towns they invade.

The N stands for Nazarene, the term used by the Islamic extremists for those who follow Christ.

Many world leaders have stepped up be a part of the campaign like U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas who wrote “#WeAreN and we stand in solidarity with the persecuted Iraqi Christians.”

The Church of England even changed the photo on their official twitter account to support the cause.

“We are changing our picture to stand with those showing solidarity for those Christians being persecuted in Mosul #WeAreN,” the church stated.

The hashtag has also allowed persecuted Christians inside Iraq to tweet news and disturbing photos to the world that are not getting attention on major western news outlets.  One of the major revelations through the hashtag that was not mentioned in the media was the beheading of children by ISIS.
