I fear that trouble for Christians in Iraq has just begun, and might eventually result in them going into exile to avoid being killed.

Too late. The majority of Iraqi Christians (Chaldean Catholics) have fled, many to the US. They arrive here with only the clothes on their backs. Those who remain behind are persecuted and killed.

That is a shame, and a pretty well kept secret as far as media reporting is concerned.

Though I believe is standing with one's faith to the point of martyrdom, martyrdom is not the wisest choice when a choices available. I believe God would prefer we live out our lives rather than volunteer to be slaughtered by Muslims.

I did not know that this has happened. We owe these folks a home to here in America.
