Sad seeing Christians having to seek refuge in that Iraq Monastery.
Christian Genocide in the Middle East is a grim reality.

Are you implying that The Christians weren't shite?

Not particularly a "genocide" as that word means a specific thing. More like various fascist Islamic factions hate Christians and will kill them if the opportunity arises. If anything it's a Christian diaspora as most of the Christians of the affected regions have fled; it's your bog standard religious hatred rather than any organised genocide.

Basically they aren't getting killed specifically because they're Christian but specifically because they are of another religion.

Their close harmonies are a thing of beauty.

You've not got the hang of this thread starting lark bluemanc.

It should have been about genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing involving Israel, then it'd be 100 pages by now. Oddly enough, for one of the very few countries in the Middle East probably the only one, where you are free to practice your religion, whatever that is, it gets criticised disproportionately.

Yet if you're not a Muslim or even the wrong sort of Muslim in most other countries then you're fair game. An old pal of mine grew up as a Catholic in Pakistan and his family had to leave because they didn't feel safe. That was in the 1970's so it's been going on a while.

I'm not religious anymore but it sickens me that people who simply want to worship their God (or even the same God) in a different way, face persecution and even death for doing so.

We also talk about learning the lessons of the Holocaust but clearly no one has.

Well said that man! No doubt an apologist will come along soon, for the usual damage limitation exercise...

Oh right. That'll make all the difference then. It is because they're Christian. Dress it up with whatever intellectual play of words you want. The bottom line is it's because they're Christian.
