“Most Americans are Christians. But few know that the acts of our government are leading to the persecution of Christians in numerous countries. Saddam Hussein was a secular ruler who tolerated Christians … but Christians have been persecuted by the post-Saddam regime. Similarly, Christians were at least tolerated by Libya’s secular leader Gaddaffi. And Christianity is an officially-recognized and protected religion in Iran. But according to the Vatican’s official news service and many other Christian news sources, the Syrian opposition is targeting Christians. Priests and bishops on the ground in Syria confirm these reports.”
