ah yes, the old “Christians prospered under Saddam” lie:

“They were tolerated under the secular regime of Saddam Hussein...

r u a transplant from MSNBC?

Oh you are so smart. Christians fleeing Iraq by the tens of thousands must be ignorant of the inclusive puppet regime set up by the New World Order. I suppose sending Americans to their death to occupy and prop up Islamic regimes is a noble cause for lackeys of the New World Order.

In 1950 Christians were about 10% of the Iraq population which at that time totaled about 8 million - So there were about 800,000 Christians in Iraq.

Now they number about 3% of 30 million, or 900,000.

A population growth rate of just 2% compounded per year from 1950 to 2000 would have made the Christian population about 2,173,000 in 2000. Are you saying 1,373,000 Christians have fled Iraq in the last 10 years? If so, where did they go?

The fact of the matter is Christians have been leaving Iraq at a rate fast enough to leave their numbers unchanged since 1950.

Once again, some here just don’t use their head..
