The Middle East-Where Have All the Christians Gone?

Giulio Meotti, an Italian writer, has written a thought-provoking piece in Il Foglio about the declining numbers of Christians in the Middle East. I have cross-posted it from Monkey in the Middle.

Of course, as all this is happening, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, a 57-nation group within the UN, is pushing for that international law against "Defamation of Religions" (their own). Here in the US, CAIR is still pushing the notion that US Muslims are a persecuted minority-which they are not.

Of course, persecution of any religious group anywhere is utterly wrong. All religions should be protected from true persecution, including Muslims. However, when you get right down to brass tacks, there is only one religion in the world that is perpetrating persecution of other minority religions.

The proof is in the numbers.
