Christianity is beginning “to disappear” in its own birthplace after 2,000 years because of a wave of “organised persecution” across the Middle East, the Prince of Wales has warned.
In an impassioned intervention, he said that the world is in danger of losing something “irreplaceably precious” with communities tracing their history back to the time of Jesus now under threat from fundamentalist Islamist militants.

And the Prince, a long-standing advocate of dialogue between religions, voiced personal dismay at seeing his work over the last 20 years to “build bridges and dispel ignorance” being deliberately destroyed by those attempting to exploit the Arab Spring for their own ends.

“It seems to me that we cannot ignore the fact that Christians in the Middle East are increasingly being deliberately targeted by fundamentalist Islamist militants.”
Christianity beginning 'to disappear' in its birthplace, warns Prince of Wales - Telegraph
Ok, so while we in this country moan and whine when we see a nativity scene in someones front yard, or a Memorial cross on a hill that has been there for 100 years in one form or another, Christians in the middle east are being displaced, murdered, and driven out....Where's the outrage about that? Or maybe those that attack Christianity here in this country, claiming the rights of the minority, at the expense of tyranny over the majority, agree that these Christians should be persecuted....
