This week’s 60 minutes featured a segment on Iraqi Christians. Christians are an often forgotten minority in Iraqi. After almost 2,000 years the Christians in Iraq are experiencing the worst persecution yet. According to Rev. Cannon Andrew White, The Vicar of Baghdad, things are much worse than they were under Sadam’s rule. Before the war there were over one million Christians in Iraq. It is believed that 90% of the Christians have either fled or have been murdered.

It is ironic that Iraqi Christians had it better living under Hussein.

Yes it is but Hussein was nominally religious.

Its a very sad thing that we, as American Christians collectively, do not think about those that are loosing their lives because they are standing up for their faith. It always makes me ask myself if I would be able to do the same if I was in the same situation? I also wonder if over there they even get a chance to answer, “Yes, I am a Christian,” or if it wouldn’t matter what they would have said, to those that seek out to kill them? Anyone else think of the same things?

I really want to know more about what is happening to Christians around the world, but being in America I feel like I am cut off and isolated from it all.
