At the Bohemian Grove ceremony the NWO burn offerings to Molech, the Babylonian Talmud owl idol. They hate Christians.

-- Egypt --
'Recent attacks on a Christian church in Egypt led to violent protests and dozens dead on the streets of Cairo.

"The (Christian) Copts have for sure lost a protector with Mubarak gone," he said, shortly before going on the air.


-- Iraq --
The Christian community in Iraq is one of the oldest in the region, dating back about 2,000 years, well before the introduction of Islam.

Under Saddam Hussein, Iraq was ruled by the Baath party, a secular government. Hussein himself was a Sunni Muslim; Sunni Muslims comprise about 35 percent of Iraqis.

Since Hussein's government was a minority government. Other minorities, including Christians, "felt much more protected under the Hussein regime than they do currently," says Brian Katulis of the Center for American Progress.

Once the regime fell, animosity between all religious communities exploded. The smallest minorities suffered the most. Before 2003, there were about 800,000 Christians in Iraq. Currently, Dawisha says, there is less than half that number.

-- Syria --
Christians get "very good business contracts, positions in government and the Syrian military," says Andrew Tabler of The Washington Institute. "They get preferential treatment and protection of their places of worship."

Syria's Christians are "some of the most strident supporters of Assad," according to Tabler. "They're bridges to other countries and the international community. Assad thinks that helps the broader public perception of his regime."

Maybe NATO favors this sort of treatment of Christians in the Middle East...


'A Christian girl was sent to a Pakistani prison after being accused by her furious Muslim neighbors of burning pages of the Islamic holy book, the Quran, in violation of the country’s strict blasphemy laws.

A police official said Monday there was little evidence that pages of the book had been burned and that the case would likely be dropped. But hundreds of angry neighbors gathered outside the girl’s home last week demanding action in a case raising new concerns about religious extremism in this conservative Muslim country.

Under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, anyone found guilty of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad or defiling the holy book, or Quran, can face life in prison or even execution. Critics say the laws are often misused to harass non-Muslims or target individuals.'
