Well... they have gotten a country "of their own" to move to for the first time in the past couple of millenia and a few centuries (estimating) after all.

I disagree. In our home, the conversation OFTEN turns to the subject of Black Iranians. Other times, we'll sit around discussing law-abiding Italians, non-drinking Irishmen, childless Hispanics, Asians who can't do math, whites who aren't prejudiced, Canadian illegal aliens, Germans who smile, and LAPD SWAT Team members who raise orchids as a hobby. While NONE of these groups are well-known, EACH one does exist.

I doubt it has ANYTHING to do with their persecution by those Muslim nations...

Until the Zionist movement Jews live in peace in the Muslim world with much less persecution than in many "Christian" countries.

This discussion is supposed to be about the Arab Christians, and I find it interesting that they are being bypassed for discussion within their own thread.

I appreciate your perspective on this. I know a Pakistani at work, who is a Christian. So, you are correct.

The OP does have a point. Although Christianity is not the predominant faith in certain regions, it does not mean that everyone is Muslim.

BTW, the Muslim Religion is not filled with hateful terrorists either. I've known more than my share of good, decent Muslims.

We can't all put everyone in a box folks.

Cheers

While on the subject, I'll ask: How do Arab christians feel about Israel? Do they agree with muslims on Israel, or is it different?

they probably will agree with muslims or from an arab stance in general (muslim/ islam doesnt equal arab as one who is jewish can only be jewish thru an ethnic name think about it, jews are seen as a race or ethnic group but the fact is there are jews who have jewish religous dating back to god knows when, from africa and the middle east not europe) because there were arab-jews living in what is known as isreal before the country called isreal was created in 1948...

this is my opinion of what they may think about jews...arab christians, arab jews, arab muslims, there all arabs and semites thats a commonality



it was disaproved by the arab league,
