The lives of Muslims in the Middle East have hardly been easier, in fact, they had it harder with far more deaths and sufferings.

>About 500,000 Christians remain in Iraq, down from an estimated 800,000 to 1.4 million in 2003, according to a report by Minority Rights Group International, a research body. Persecution makes the Christian community smaller each year, with churches as well as households being targeted and causing worshippers to flee.

Christian countries(US, UK, Australia, etc) have been bombing Iraq and have made the Iraqi population smaller, and smaller. It is clear that the lives of Muslims don't matter to you. Christians are killed daily by other Christians in America, how about that? A Christian woman is raped by a christian man on average every minute, any concerns?

>The Christmas holiday season has rarely been a happy one for Christians in the Middle East, where they are often not allowed to raise church buildings and house churches often experience raids and harassment. Experts on the region say the Christmas season is a particularly dangerous period for the Christian minority, when numerous acts of violence and vandalism take place.

Not true at all. Iraq is full of churches and many of them ancient. Syria, Jordan, Pakistan, Kuwait, etc are full of churches. The problem is you people are up to something else. Also failed to mention that while those "Christians in the Middle East" can't celebrate x-mas acording to you, it is Christian nations that have bombed and killed far more people. You are bombing people and committing all kinds of atrocities even during Christmas so let's keep that in mind. Those experts are from out of your arse and this is a bunch of Christian propaganda, yet you all wonder why people hate you. How many genocides have you Christians committed, how many Muslims have you murdered during your Christmas? I rest my case.

>The most recent of such attacks in Iraq occured on Dec. 2, when at least 25 people, many of them Christian, were wounded in an attack carried out by a group of Kurds in the Dohuk Governate in the north of the country. Dozens of young Kurds – men who reportedly had been "instigated" by Muslim clerics – attacked several small businesses in Zakho, a city that at various times served as a checkpoint on the border with Turkey, according to a CNN report.

Muslims die daily and have been killed on daily basis. Your Christians placed sanctions on iraq which targeted millions of Muslims. However, there were thousands of Christians who died as a result of that, but no crying from you.

>The news network claims the attackers were targeting "a number of tourist facilities, especially facilities owned by ... Christians and Yazidis." (Yazidis are one of Iraq's smallest religious minorities, their beliefs draw from Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.) A local Kurdish leader reportedly said that authorities made "a major effort" to prevent the "acts of sabotage, but they could not." Several police officers were among those wounded. "I denounce these inhumane and illegal acts, and I call on the people of Kurdistan to respect the national, religious and sectarian coexistence and take it as a basic goal for them to live together peacefully,"

yawns.

>Massoud Barzani, the president of the Iraq's Kurdistan autonomous region, told CNN at the time. The Wall Street Journal reported on the situation of Christians from Iraq in a Monday feature, calling the public's attention to another factor that is stirring the situation in the region – the democratic uprisings spreading across the Middle East. “With the Arab Spring now bringing political turbulence to many other countries in the region, Christians throughout the Middle East are worried that what happened in Iraq may be a harbinger of misfortune to come in their own communities.

I think we would all be better off if the Christian US would leave everyone alone.

>While many remain supporters of the uprisings, others fear that the toppling of their autocratic rulers could uncork sectarian violence against Christians and other minority groups in their own nations," the WSJ's Sam Dagher wrote. Such violence already took place in Egypt. Tensions between Coptic Christians and Muslims have escalated since the ousting of former president Hosni Mubarak after the Arab Spring uprisings. Mubarak was an open protector of Christians, and after the Jan. 25 revolution, several radical Islamic groups gained political power.

hehe@Mubarak was an open protector of Christians. I guess Hitler was as well.

>On Oct. 26, Coptic Christians were killed in Cairo, after Egypt's military and police sought to quell peaceful protests by members of the country's largest Christian denomination, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Currently, the Egyptian diaspora await fearfully what future the newly-minted government will bring. In Iraq, the U.S. invasion and fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 brought sectarian violence that shook all Iraqis, including Muslim Shiites and Sunnis, according to the WSJ. But it has been catastrophic for the "nation's fragile Christian communities."

Thank America for that. The Coptic violence is taken out of context completely, but I shouldn't be surprised as you are Christian.

>Iraqi Christians are caught amidst political brawls between the majority Shiite Muslims, the Sunni Muslims and the Kurds (in the north) who are predominantly Muslim, experts say. At least 54 Iraqi churches have been bombed and at least 905 Christians killed in various acts of violence since the U.S. invasion toppled Hussein in 2003, WSJ reported. Since 2003, attacks against these minorities by insurgents and religious extremists have driven more than half of them out of the country, according to U.N. statistics. The persecution has been causing Christians not only to flee, but to conceal their identity.
>
>According to Minority Rights Group International, Christian and other religious minority women in Iraq have been forced to wear a head-scarf to protect themselves from attacks. "Christian women in Kirkuk and Mosul report feeling extremely insecure outside their homes," the organization says in a report. Archbishop Louis Sako of the Chaldean Catholic Church in the northern provinces of Kirkuk and Sulimaniya told the WSJ recently that "Iraq could be emptied of Christians" completely, if the persecution continues with such intensity.
>
>Religious minorities, such as Christians and Yazidis, make up less than 5 percent of Iraq's population, according to the U.N.'s data division, as reported by WSJ. As Christmas approaches, Iraqi Christians, while marking the birth of Jesus, will likely also recall the grim holiday season many of them experienced last year.

I should remind you that Christians murder people even during Christmas and have no problem doing so. I am sure Muslims would like to have their killed loved ones back as well and participate in Ramadan and Eid without a broken heart. It seems only the sufferings of Christians are a concern while the country is devastated by powerful Christian countries is totally ignored. It further seems as if only those Christians who happen to die in Muslim countries are of importance. How come I don't see any records of Christians who are killed in Germany, or the United States or Mexico? The stats must only be applied in the Middle east, and I wonder why.
