The Forgotten Minority in the Holy Land

Most of the debate over the Middle East is about the conflict between Jews and Muslims. Another group seems mostly invisible. While gallons of ink are poured out about Hamas and Israel, Judaism and Islam, you hear very little about these forgotten people who are rapidly disappearing from the Land of Christ's birth -- the Christians.

In 2019 The Catholic Register described their plight in an article titled Holy Land Christians: Threatened With Extinction, but Still Bearing Witness:

...the Christians of the Holy Land — who are often forgotten in this crisis, as they are ignored by worldwide media, and whose number has been reduced to an alarming level — struggle every day for their own religious identity.

Can There be Peace in the Middle East?

Abraham expels Hagar and Ishmael

How can we understand what's happening in the Middle East? The conflict has raged since the enmity between Sarah and Hagar. Their sons and grandsons, and great grandsons through the centuries continue the conflict from one generation to the next until the horror of today's killing, killing, killing!

Fr. Tom Describes Turkish "Pressure Cooker"

Will an increasingly radicalized Turkey seize the
H-bombs at Incirlik Air Base?
It looks like the victory of the Moslem Brotherhood in Turkey is going to be another “success” that will be touted by Obama and Hillary and lauded by the MSM (mainstream media).

Whereas the Islamic State erected by ISIS had borders that seemed to have been drawn by a group of gerrymandering Democrats, Turkey has a large land mass with clearly set borders and a population of tens of millions, many of whom have strong jihadist sympathies. As Erdogan turns up the heat in order to build up the Islamic resentment and fervor in the Turkish “pressure cooker”, we can anticipate another tsunami of jihadist “refugees” infiltrating into Europe, so as to ensure that jihadist Moslems will be the most cohesive and dominant political voting block in the European Union.
