In total, the region has about 15 million Christians and 300 million Muslims. There are 28 Christian confessions in the Middle East and North Africa. Exodus of Christians is only a matter of time, which is now playing into the hands of Islam. Among the most persecuted, as we have already mentioned, are the Copts, followed by Maronites. Armenians still maintain neutrality, but change of regimes adversely affects their position. Strange as it may seem at first glance, Christian minority has always supported overthrown “dictators”, who, to a certain extent, ensured a stable and tolerable existence for them. But the current rulers of Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya are doing their best for the Christian minority to disappear.

It all began with Iraq, with the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. It was after the U.S. invasion of Iraq that the Christian neighborhoods were subjected to pogroms and people were killed on the religious principle. However, nothing has changed now in Iraq - Christians are fleeing as before. If Bashar al-Assad loses power, a similar (if not worse) fate awaits the Christians of Syria. Islamists will remind them about their loyalty to the current president, wealth, education. What else does a crowd need to kill? And the saddest thing in this story is that the West will not even stir a finger to save the communities. Tolerance and sensitivity of democracy are surprisingly silent in this issue. The all-round expansion of Islam will not bypass anyone, especially the countries of Europe and the USA, which are still turning a blind eye to the murder of their co-religionists.

Let us not forget that Arab states are going to unite. Perhaps not now, perhaps in five years, but it may happen one day. And what will be then? For the Gulf oil monarchies, which, by the way, are the initiators of the new caliphate, unification of Arab countries will be painless. But for others, i.e. Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq, it would mean ethnic cleansing. First they’ll polish off the Christians, then the Kurds. And it would be good if it all ended with deportation only. Not as in 1915; perhaps more civilized manners would be used - people would be allowed to leave. Those who managed would leave, while the rest would be doomed to… Sad but true. So far, in the same Syria the “opposition” is limited to attempts of kidnapping people and demanding a ransom. And there is no guarantee at all that the kidnapped will be returned to the family alive.

It should also be noted that in recent years Islamic intolerance has grown greatly. The evidence of it is the killings not only in the Middle East but also in the churches of Nigeria, Sudan and elsewhere. Although some moderate expositors of the Quran have recently been saying that the book does not call for killing infidels, these words are dissolved in the sea of ​​hatred generated by poverty, limited living space and the inability to know the unknowable. Islamic radicals destroy everything outside the sphere of their understanding, and the Christian civilization is exactly such.
