Not so long ...'Extinct in its birthplace." Not so long as the Jewish state of Israel can manage - somehow - to survive. Because the thing that everybody is ignoring - and certainly the western press - is that, outside of Jihad Fortress Gaza (run by the Hamasniks, who were founded by the Ikhwan), and outside of Muslim-dominated and Muslim-occupied Judea and Samaria (from whence Christians are being steadily driven out by Muslim misrule and deliberate Muslim viciousness), Christians within eretz Israel are safer than they are anywhere else in the entire Middle East. Not so long ago, an Arabic-speaking Christian priest from Nazareth shucked off the dhimmitude that has had the traditional Christian population within Israel meekly carrying water for the Jihad against the Jews, and began preaching in support of Israel and urging young people from the Christian community to sign up for the IDF and prepare themselves to fight shoulder to shoulder with their Jewish brethren in defence of the relative peace and safety that is only guaranteed by that slender ring of IDF steel. One such young man who had heeded the call, was quoted as saying, "This [Israel] is the only country in the region [that is, in the Muslim-dominated Middle East] that is worth fighting for".

In the West they've been doing this through the Hegelian Dialectic Principle with spectacular success. They've all been made mad and the world is being taken for a horrific ride with no way back and all bridges burnt.<br /><br />http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/brainwashing/dialectic.htm<br /><br />bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430930028308293004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673179650846701039.post-64728818355654049062013-09-22T12:26:47.207+10:002013-09-22T12:26:47.207+10:00Christians in Syria are now in the same invidious ...Christians in Syria are now in the same invidious position they have found themselves in every other Muslim country in the Middle East where regime change has occurred. In Iraq (the second largest surviving Christian population in the ME) the Christians were deliberately targeted by al-Qa'ida linked extremists and Sunni nationalists. They were afforded little or no protection from the supposedly secular but Shia-led Maliki government who are involved in a virtual civil war with the Sunnis and have turned a blind eye to outrages against the Christian minority not the least because they consider the Christians linked to the old Saddam regime. From a population of about a million under Saddam, there are now less than 400,000 left and in the continuing violence since - this population is shrinking fast. Likewise in Egypt, the Copts were afforded some degree of protection by the Mubarak government, who had most of the worst perpetrators of anti-Christian violence locked up. Unfortunately when Mubarak was deposed, these Muslim extremists were among the first to be released from prison. Some were quickly re-arrested but they were soon set free again by Morsi. No surprise that the anti-Christian violence and oppression reached new heights before Morsi was deposed and the Muslim Brotherhood overthrown. The brief capture of the Syrian Christian town of Ma'alulah showed Christians what is in store for them there should the Islamist opposition win and overthrow the Assad regime. They have appealed to Assad to arm them and allow them to defend themselves. This of course is aligning them up with the hated Assad regime and Shia Alawite minority. The result is predictable - more Christians will be killed or driven out. The West led by Obama bears much responsibility for seeing this happen time and again and saying and doing nothing about it.
