The persecution of Christians intensified after the outbreak of the Iraq war.
The indigenous Assyrian Christians, previously protected by Saddam Hussein (he hated Jews, but had a Christian in his cabinet), lost that protection after the invasion.
The US didn't want to rock the boat so they allowed nature to take its course.
As a result, most Iraqi Assyrian Christians now live in Sweden.
The Copts? Perhaps sensing that Obama is pro-Islam, the Egyptian Islamists have stepped up their persecution efforts.
Things are worse and getting worst.
Pressure must be brought to bear on Western governments to protest pogroms against Middle Eastern Christians.
