According to a new Pew report Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. The persecution occurs primarily throughout the Islamic world. Much of the land that Islam seized was originally Christian - including the Middle East and North Africa. There are vestiges of Christian minorities in all these Islamic lands. Christianity is seen as a threat because it openly professes faith and proselytizes. It thus runs up against Islam’s blasphemy and proselytism laws and is viewed as a threat.
The initiative to be considered a different nationality than Arab is a Christian initiative. They want to be known as Arabic speaking Christians. Christians see Israel as a haven and are increasingly pledging loyalty to the State of Israel and enlisting in the IDF. Most want no part of being a minority in a Palestinian state.
