Across the Middle East, Christians are being slaughtered and forced to leave the lands of their birth.
The tragedy began with the destructive policies of the Bush-Cheney era, which provoked increased sectarian hatred between Muslims, generated anti-Americanism and gave birth to the virulently anti-Christian radical Islamists. The process has continued under the Obama regime and has reached a greater intensity with Washington’s unqualified support for Israel’s killing of Palestinians.
The situation is so grave, Christians have been leaving Iraq and Syria in large numbers and the pattern has been replicated in a host of other Muslim nations due to a vicious campaign of intimidation. In Iraq alone, where Christians practiced their religion freely under the government of the late Saddam Hussein, the numbers of Christians there have declined so much, there may be no Christians in Iraq within a decade, if not sooner.
