MIDDLE EASTS'S CHRISTIAN POPULATION NEARS EXTINCTION

Christian Plight In The Middle East

Pope Benedict XVI’s recently concluded visit to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories, highlighted the demographic and political decline of Christian communities in the region. Nearly a century ago Christians accounted for 20 percent of the region’s population — today they number less than 5 percent.

Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Christian social and political growth is taking place.

Elsewhere in the region, a dwindling Christian population is getting close to extinction as a result of Muslim intimidation and violence and, lack of economic opportunities leading to ever increasing emigration.
