... who want to kill all Christians and Jews?
Uh ... Muslim?
Middle Eastern Christians’ “share of the region's population has plunged from 20% a century ago to less than 5% today and falling. In Egypt, 200,000 Coptic Christians fled their homes last year after beatings and massacres by Muslim extremist mobs. Since 2003, 70 Iraqi churches have been burned and nearly a thousand Christians killed in Baghdad alone, causing more than half of this million-member community to flee. Conversion to Christianity is a capital offense in Iran, where last month Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani was sentenced to death. Saudi Arabia outlaws private Christian prayer.
“As 800,000 Jews were once expelled from Arab countries (following establishment of the state of Israel), so are Christians being forced from lands they've inhabited for centuries.
“The only place in the Middle East where Christians aren't endangered but flourishing is Israel. Since Israel's founding in 1948, its Christian communities (including Russian and Greek Orthodox, Catholics, Armenians and Protestants) have expanded more than 1,000%.”

I'll do the usual disclaimer -- The above does not mean all Muslims want to kill Christians and Jews. But in areas known as Muslim, ... Well, maybe so.
