Today, Iraq is "one" of those on the top of "my" list. Islamic terrorists are daily patrolling the streets checking citizen ID's. If you are a Christian, the odds are extremely good that their response will be a gunshot to your head.
Here in the United States we don't need numerous armed gaurds stationed outside our churches as they do in Bethlehem. We are not enduring intense & continued persecution as the dwindling population of Palestinian Christians are. We aren't Iraqi Christians apprehensive to move about on our own streets, oppressed by the same spirit of fears that the Jews once were, back in the days when Nazi's ruled... But, then again, this isn't the Middle East, is it?
We can't turn a blind eye to this situation which is not brought to the publics attention by the mainstream media. Fortunately, there are groups who are aware and serving the persecuted in these oppressive nations.
Open Doors has a couple videos on Iraqi Christians on Youtube
