PINK- Amid killings and kidnappings, can Christianity survive in the Middle East?


Christians trace back their beginnings to the middle east, but the population of openly practicing Christians has shrunken. It has changed a lot over the past century: The percentage of Christians relative to the Mideast's overall population has gone from 13.6% in 1910 to 4.2% in 2010, and it's expected to drop even further, according to religious demographers Todd Johnson and Gina Zurlo.

Do you think the Christian religion can survive in the future middle eastern parts of the world? 

Christians light candles last month in the Church of the Nativity in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus.

Whether Christianity grows or shrinks, i believe that no matter what, there will always be at least one small group of citizens that never give up their belief in god. If their faith is strong enough, they would be willing to die for their religion.

as history has proved again and again the act of forcibly "ending: a religion is impossible. i believe that Christianity, even if it it suppressed into a minority, will not end in the middle east.

Although Christianity may be on the decline in the Middle East, I believe that there will always be a group of them somewhere. If they are completely wiped out of the Middle East, the people of the U.S. will call for action against religious discrimination in the middle east.

If something is not done in retaliation to the atrocities and violations against the Nuremberg Trials: Article 1 in reference to the commission of crimes against humanity, the population of Christians in the Middle East will most certainly not survive. A minority whose religion teaches that when your cheek is struck, you should turn and offer your other: they need support. However, if support is provided for the minority group, they will have a chance of surviving in the future.
