Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran are all almost running out of Christians. Does anyone think this could be a hidden strategic plan to run the region out of Christians? I’m wondering, in Iraq, after the war with the United States, have Christians in Iraq began to be killed and murdered on purpose?
One of these accidents has been the tragedy at St. Mary’s Church in Iraq resulting in a majority of causalities. Next was Egypt, even before and especially after the revolution, Christians were targeted. Pre-revolution, was the Al-Quidiseen accident, post-revolution has been too many to name. Take for instance Maspero, the Cathedral, Khosous, Sole. In all of these “accidents” Christians were targeted and killed. Nobody was tried in court.
Tunisia, which has a small minority of Christians to begin with, have been persecuted by the Salafis and can now be considered, if you will, an endangered species.
In Libya, fanatics have burned the Orthodox Church, resulting in the closure of the Church.
Syria, after the war between the Political Regime, leaded by Bashar el Assad, and the Opposition, has left all Christians endangered with the seemingly only solution to abandon ship and move.
Christians are not allowed to practice their beliefs in Saudi Arabia. There are no churches allowed in Mecca. If any Christians are caught praying in a public place, or holding a Bible, they will be sentenced to prison immediately.
Let’s look at Iran. Iran is home to the most ironic Political Regime. It is near impossible for Christians in Iran to practice their doctrine.
These are examples of persecution that Christians are suffering from in the Middle East, with emphasis on Egypt. Some people must be wondering, why are Christians seeking immigration? Why are Christians seeking abandonment of their home country? Are the examples previously mentioned not enough motive? I just mentioned the physical hurt this religious sect has been suffering from. What about the emotional suffering for Christians in these areas?
Even beginning with getting a job, all the way to building a church. Can you imagine that your belief in something is forbidden from being practiced? Or if you are qualified for a high position and refused the job because of your religion? Isn’t this discrimination?
What more do Christians need to think about for initiative to leave their country?
When will the international community recognize the ordeal of the Christians in the Middle East? Or is it that they agree with the side of the fundamentalists to free the region from Christians in the Middle East?
