Top spokesman for the Plaestinians Hanna Ashrawi (sp?) is Christian, Arafat's wife is a Christian.
Hannan Ashrawi (beuatiful name for an ugly woman) is Christian. Arafat's wife Sura converted to Islam.

And Syria is about 20% Christian. Once it was 95% Christian. Then the Islamic armies came. Syria is a poor choice because it is a Fascist regime. Look at Egypt where Christian churches are leveled and the parishoners are not allowed to fix or build new ones. (Let's not even get into forced conversions.) Of course you should look at the religious regimes of Saudi Arabia or Sudan to see real repression.

The answer to your question--there are millions and millions of Christians living in Arab countries.
As Dhimmia, second class citizens paying special taxes and surviving on the sufference of the regimes.

Compare this to Israel where Christians and Muslims have the same rights as religious Jews.
