<\/p>\nIn a unified response to what they perceive as an affront to their faith, Iraqi churches have declared a day of fasting on Monday. This collective act of devotion aims to protest against perceived insults to Christian values and religion at the Paris Olympics. The decision comes amidst growing concerns among Christian communities worldwide about the respect and recognition of their religious symbols and beliefs on global platforms.<\/p>\n
