Algeria offers an interesting case study in this regard. As noted, the country’s current treatment of Christians is abysmal. But this region was in ancient times a bastion of Christianity. And it is also situated just next door to the latest Arab state to normalize relations with Israel, Morocco. How will that development effect Algeria and its Christian community?
