You are correct. I wrote in haste, based upon my understanding of the Iranian Jewish community, which is protected by the Government. Libya, Egypt, Syria and Iraq, under their respective dictators, mistreated their Jewish population, resulting in the emigration of the entire balance of their Jewish communities.
Ironically, the threatened armed conflict between Israel and Iran could destroy the thriving 25,000-member Iranian Jewish community.
Thank you... I was actually hoping to be proved wrong.
The situation in the Middle East for Christians is greatly deteriorating, I’m afraid, and may go the way of the Jewish community.
I suppose that could be God’s plan for clearing out the “friendlies” so we (or Israel) can confidently use nuclear weapons on the Islamofascists, but I shouldn’t even be joking that way. Most of their people are sincerely misguided, too, and are suffering at the hands of radical extremists. I read a report some time back that Iran has a lower percentage of its people attending mosques than the United States has attendance at churches, which certainly indicates that a small group has taken possession of the nation which does not reflect the will of the people.
The whole mess is sad from a multitude of angles.
