AND A HUGE PART OF BAGHDAD'S POPULATION UNTIL THE 1930'S.
CHRISTIANS WERE ONCE THE MAJORITY IN ALL OF NORTH AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST.
BUT THINGS CHANGED WITH THE ADVENT OF MOHAMMED'S JIHAD.
AND NOT JUST VIOLENT JIHAD, BUT ALSO INSIDIOUS JIHAD AND CREEPING SHARIA.
LEBANON'S CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN FLEEING FOR 100 YEARS.
AND THE CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN FLEEING THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK EVER SINCE ARAFAT RETURNED.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, ROBERT FISK WROTE ABOUT THIS IN 1997:
The Independent (London), Wednesday, 24 September 1997, p. 11 By Robert Fisk Exodus: Christians of the Arab world flee their Biblical homeland
The Christians of the Middle East are making an unprecedented exodus from the lands in which their ancestors have lived since Christ taught here. At least two million are estimated to have left in the past five years alone, leaving only 12 million Christians in and around the lands of the Bible. And, as Robert Fisk reports from Bkerke, Lebanon, half the entire million-strong Christian population of the Arab world’s most moderate state have departed in just 20 years.
... Every day, the Christians drift up to the great stone palace of Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir above Beirut to appeal for assistance in leaving the land in which their forebears have lived for two millennia.
Fr Michel fully understands the tragedy. He is the historian of Lebanon’s Maronites — who are affiliated to the Roman Catholic church — and knows all too well that since the start of the country’s 1975-90 civil war, the nation has haemorrhaged its Christian population. “We were a little more than a million before the war but we have lost 500,000 of our people in 22 years,” he says. “The Maronites love liberty and freedom. When a Christian here sees that liberty is infringed upon, he becomes angry.”
Whether or not liberties are in danger is a matter of fierce debate in Syrian-dominated Lebanon. But the disaster overwhelming the Maronite community in the country — one that Muslims suggest is of their own making — is mirrored elsewhere in the Middle East. Egypt’s 6 million Christian Copts are leaving their country in tens of thousands — the community is “holding its own” by breeding as fast as its population leaves and still stands at 6 million, about 10 per cent of the population. But Christians are increasingly a target for Islamists opposed to the government in Cairo — 25 of the 77 Egyptians murdered since February have been Christian villagers in upper Egypt — while the regime insists that even the repair of churches must receive official permission.
IT'S GOTTEN WORSE SINCE 1997.
AS CHRISTIANS HAVE STEADILY FLED LEBANON AND EGYPT AND IRAQ ETC SO TOO SHOULD MUSLIMS NOW FLEE THE WEST. ONLY FASTER.
AS LONG AS CHRISTIANS AND JEWS CAN'T LIVE IN PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, MUSLIMS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE WEST. ESPECIALLY NOT LIKE THIS IN PARIS:
EITHER EUROPEANS FIGHT TO REMAIN EUROPEAN AND DEMAND THAT MUSLIMS ASSIMILATE OR LEAVE, OR EUROPEANS WILL CEASE TO BE EUROPEANS IN ANY MEANINGFUL CULTURAL SENSE.
EUROPE IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
THEY MUST STOP WORRYING ABOUT CO2 AND LEFTIST WET DREAMS OF CARBON TAXES AND NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT, AND START WORRYING ABOUT ISLAMIZATION.
IF THEY DONL;T FIGHT BACK, THEN PARIS WILL BECOME PARISTANBUL, THE EIFFEL TOWER A MUEZZIN AND NOTRE DAME A MOSQUE.
They should also be banned from Jerusalem until Mecca is covered with synagogues and churches.
