Christianity 'close to extinction' in Middle East

The study warns that Christians suffer greater hostility across the world than any other religious group.

And it claims politicians have been â€œblindâ€ to the extent of violence faced by Christians in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The most common threat to Christians abroad is militant Islam, it says, claiming that oppression in Muslim countries is often ignored because of a fear that criticism will be seen as â€œracismâ€.

For those who want to badmouth Israel, I should point out the article, PM touts religious pluralism in Christmas greeting PM touts religious pluralism in Christmas greeting. However, quite a few times I have referenced this commentary, The forgotten Christians of the East. If you haven't read--it you should.

How, I got two references to the same article, and both seem to be advert free, I guess I'll leave it as is--talking about the short commentary on what the Israeli PM said.

I pray for those brothers and sisters. The church will suffer violence, hardship, and persecution, but will never be extinguished. May God on Christ grant them perseverance to the end.
