Persecution

Space War - Displaced Iraq Christians in frontline prayer for return
Space War reports: "Last year's violence led many of the newly displaced Christians to seek to emigrate, a trend clerics in Iraq and elsewhere fear could be a fatal blow to Christian presence in the country. 'Estimates are that 50,000 Christians... have left Iraq' over the past year, said Benoit Faraj Camurat, who heads the French aid group Fraternite en Irak and accompanied the prelate. He said most had gone to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, while smaller numbers had resettled in Europe and other Western countries."
